It's been a while! I had been working a crazy amount! Roland is in the middle of his classes and finally the move is over, Bethany is doing great and I am starting to relax!

Our new place is perfect! I have been cooking more and it's all fitting into place. Annie our little cat is super happy with all the windows.

Well not all the time, but usually...

She loves the sunbeams! Lucky her she can get the sun on one side of the house, then move to the other for a little more sun.  

But all this window time was cutting into our darkness time, literally! She was clawing at our black out curtains! It had to be stopped!

Those are her fluorescent nail covers. Saves my curtains and she's kinda cute with them too.

We have been walking around our neighborhood of Andong helping Bethany get her bearings. 

The evenings have been beautiful and cool, but most of all the sun is brutal!

Walking past a restaurant we saw this handsome guy on death row.

A tank full of squid as well.

And then... there were these. Sea worms. Eaten raw with a spicy sauce.  

(those are the squid behind them)

Speaking of grub, Bethany has been trying her hand at cooking when we go out to eat! 

Thanks! It's been awesome getting to relax!

My new phone is super handy, and extremely awesome! I can take a picture when ever I see anything, and not worry about if I have my camera or not.

Like this pretty flower...

Or us in Emart. Hey I said anything!

(Lake Floyd, WV 2010 4th of July)

We are going to the beach this weekend with our co-workers. It should be a great time. I even bought a hat,  sunscreen and a parasol. I know the sun and I are mortal enemies, and the score is sun all, me zero. Just don't want to get too much sun and end up sleeping the weekend away. Just in case I bought a jar of aloe gel.

Happy 4th of July!
