I've been crippled...

Well, the last month without internet has been interesting. I've learned I can basically get along fine without it, but the days seem longer and less interesting. Plus I feel so out of touch with the world and my friends out there. But we've got a bit of a connection from someone nearby who has a wireless connection, so for now, I'll be using that when I can. The bad news is all my favorites and links and photos are on my other computer (I'm using the laptop for it's wireless ability) so I can't really post any pictures right away. I guess I could just get busy transfering them from discs or portable drives... I'll try to do that soon. Plus I need to take some pictures of my new place. We are very happy here so far and enjoying the room we have to spread out a bit, and loving the yard and shade and neighborhood. We've been able to walk half a block to the school playground when it's not too hot, and the college pool is only a block away, so we walk there for swimming lessons (courtesy of Grandma Ericksen for DD's B-day). It's been a nice summer so far. Can't believe it's almost over. KJ is going to go crazy (and probably drive ME crazy) when DD is in school full time....... not sure what we will do with ourselves.

I hope you are all well out there! If you're reading this, please leave me a comment, so I know if I'm just talking to myself here. ;)

A little bit of Medieval fun!!(and other news and info)
















I had a wonderful time this last weekend at the Days of Camelot Medieval Faire. I did a couple performances on one of the stages and had a really great time doing it and was even successful at selling a few of my CDs. I'm kicking myself for not getting any footage of myself on stage or pictures of myself in costume, but I did get a couple of neat pictures of the World Champion Jousters. It was AWESOME!!!! Huge horses, real shining armor, good humor, it was very fun. The whole day was a blast and I can't wait til next year!!!
To those of you who I haven't ready told, we're moving. Our landlady told us about a house near the college that she wanted to get us into since she just invested a bunch of money to remodel and update, and wants someone in there she knows will take good care of it. It's about 600 sq feet bigger than we have now and it has tons of storage, and a nice big, totally NEW kitchen. It has big shade trees in front and in back, a nice little fenced back yard with a big shady patio, I'm just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about it, and hope we will be able to live there for at least a few years. Plus it's half a block from the school, I can stand on the sidewalk in front of the house and watch Delaney walk in the front door of her school. It's just perfect in so many ways. PLUUUUUUUSSSS there is room for my piano, which I have been seperated from for 12 years now!!! I'm so excited to have it with me, in my own home!! (I inherited it from my Great-grandmother, whom I am named after.)

I'll be posting pictures of our Disneyland trip in a couple weeks (we're leaving this Sunday and will be gone a week.) And hopefully a few weeks after that, I'll be ready to post some pics of us in our new house.
