I hear those are deep and numerous currently. :-)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477740717079369166.post-64917797663666848912010-04-14T21:25:39.284-06:002010-04-14T21:25:39.284-06:00Great first week!

He told me all about how eastern Washington is dry and desert, but also beautiful. He had a lot of fun there as a kid.Farmer Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333209660043535465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477740717079369166.post-21733185417806948982010-04-13T18:41:00.682-06:002010-04-13T18:41:00.682-06:00Oh..I can't wait to see the kids new schools.....Oh..I can't wait to see the kids new schools..and what a tremendous relief that everything happened so smoothly..you can try to predict that its going to play out that way..but one never knows for sure..Sounds like everything's falling into place..<br />Oh..G..looks like you got your new sneakers..Did they help you climb that big hill??

Look at S and K all official and smiling. I bet S is SO happy to have his family with him again. I wish you could have gotten J's pic with the girls all flocking around him. I bet he looked really handsome and cool. And G is quite the trooper, isn't he? He seems to be taking it all in stride. Sometimes people get tired. Can't blame the little guy for that. So how is M? Other than being happy your family is happy? Hey S - snap a photo of M for us!!!!basicliving@backtobasicliving.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782631124134813311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477740717079369166.post-80879903595191453202010-04-13T16:08:41.807-06:002010-04-13T16:08:41.807-06:00So is that mountain in your soon to be back yard? ...So is that mountain in your soon to be back yard?

The vast majority of Oregon and Washington are hilly, dry, and tree barren (aside from those that have been planted) The lush green that we think of is mostly coastal. Personally I like the open land better. <br />You will have lots and lots of sage...but I've never tried cooking with it. I'm not sure its the right kind for that. But it smells DEVINE when you mow or burn it!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294229154600798483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477740717079369166.post-22203416513935441342010-04-13T08:52:05.260-06:002010-04-13T08:52:05.260-06:00So, so, so happy that the kids took to school so w...So, so, so happy that the kids took to school so well!! What a load off of your mind, I'm sure. It will be so nice when you are in your own home and all settled in and you have your new goats with you!

Green and trees and rain is what most people think of when they think of WA...me included. :-) But we are on the other side of the mountain range...eastern WA. It is considered the desert portion of WA...not very many trees, but lots of hills and tumbleweeds. :-)<br /><br />Warren: Hey! Thats a *mountain.* Not just a hill. :-) But, yes, it is natural. Its called Badger Mountain.frugalmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013856124264535872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477740717079369166.post-85822848221059705402010-04-13T07:55:22.954-06:002010-04-13T07:55:22.954-06:00Awesome hill!

Moving is so hard and you have provided them with the mental tools to take it all in stride. You should be proud of YOU, too. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.com
