Weather

It's such a strange thing......Back home in Vic, it's already becoming fall, with clouds and rain and cooler temperatures. It's not even september. Here, we had rain last week, and it was great!! I even went out on that very day and bough O some cords.........haha. As much as I hate the greyness that is Victoria, it is so much of what I am used to.... In Dublin, it is sunday evening about 7:45, and just now cool enough to comfortably sit outside and let O play....Two hours ago was much too warm. We went to the grocery store last night at 9, and had all 4 car windows open to enjoy the late summer air.............funny isn't it? We were just picking up the first few brown crunchy leaves that were on the ground, and having quite a laugh throwing them at each other....Thank god O's aim is off, because he had quite the chunk of dirt and rocks mixed into his!
Richard is home tuesday eve and promises to help with personalizing the blog a little more. I want to be able to add some pictures and personal touches that go along with the "subject" of the day.
Go outside and throw some leaves!

revamping the title

I was told the title of the blog had negative connotations, and so I changed it.....(can't anyone see I was only being silly!!! ) Anyhow, our life is definately an adventure of sorts. Unknown to me, Barrack Obama and Joe Biden were in my little town of Dublin last night, starting the campaign trail together .........Wish I had known. I would love to get in the middle of all this craziness and hoopla the Americans surround themselves with for their elections. Besides, I think Barrack is the man who can truly make a change for the better in this country...Hopefully start it back on the road to it's recovery...I won't chat anymore about politics. I just threw in my 2 cents worth seeing as I am immersed in it every day "down here".

Let's see how this goes....

So this is my first attempt at blogging. I figured seeing as everyone else is doing it, I may as well give it a try. Be patient, as I have much to learn and not alot of time to sit down and figure it out. I will learn as I go, and that could prove to be interesting!! We have a new computer without any pictures saved, so I will not have too many to share until I take some new ones. More later.......
