My Amazing Hubby

Our stove top has been slowly dying. It's very old, but very expensive to replace the whole topper. The back left burner finally fully died a couple weeks ago. Paul told me he was going to fix it, but I thought that meant one burner. The guy got all 4 new burners and new drip pans. He took out the inserts, scrubbed them to like new, and got the whole she-bang fixed for about $80, instead of the $1000 for a new insert. I'm thrilled! These also cook a little hotter (higher voltage? watts? something like that). I'm so happy to be married to a handy man.

New Zealand

So Paul went to NZ, my Dad is in Africa. I went to Walla Walla. Here are some of my favorite pictures from Paul's trip.

More more more!

These are Wednesday's eggs. We did get 3 total, but this was the morning's lay. Curtis was pretty excited about the green egg. I admit.. I was too!

Eggs!

We got 3 eggs this week, I think one from each chicken. #1 was white and decent size, but the shell was so thin I had to toss it. #2 was brown with speckles. We ate it this morning. #3 we picked up today and we know it was from Simon, the black one. We were waiting for her to hop up so we could get it. Curtis was so excited to hold it while it was still warm. He wanted to keep carrying it, but I had to tell him that it was an egg, not a toy, and that there would be several dozen more to come and we couldn't cuddle each one. It's in the fridge.

Egg in picture is #2.
