MUCH has happened since I wrote last.  I apologize... I haven't been able to add new posts for some reason... Ryan, Sean, and have moved into our house (7 Koroit St, Warrnambool, VIC, 3280, Australia) officially yesterday.  We spent the whole day cleaning the house Thursday and are settling in quite nicely.  I can't begin to describe the character and potential of the propery.  Gardens with brick pathways, a wall fountain, a one man "house" called 'The Stabbin Cabin' out back, a huge garage with "junk" that we have found quite useful, a shed, garden beds... Stone floors and a fireplace in the kitchen/dining room area offer a cozy cabin feel.  Today (Saturday) we walked into town for some supplies, checking out the local op shops and hardware stores.  We've managed to collect a few wooden pallets from businesses that we plan to use for fire wood and construction projects.  In fact, the guys put together a box for all the firewood they got today....

Just some interesting things that happened in the past week... or two :) - I won a book at one of those events where you walk around a horse-shoe of tables that contain a person or two, some brochures, a little activity, and free candy and pens.  It was an all around healthful living informational ditty, presenting on campus support centers/programs/etc.  The book is called The Essence of Health by Dr. Craig Hassed.  It seems like a pretty basic read, but if I would have picked to win anything, a book would have definitely been at the top of my list... So, cool beans! - I found a new soup recipe online and made it Monday: Hearty Kale, Quinoa, and Lentil Soup.  It is nice and hearty with lovely spices, but maybe I would add some vegetable broth (sodium) to enhance the flavors a bit.  Here is the recipe if you are interested...  http://recipesfrom4everykitchen.blogspot.ca/2012/10/hearty-kale-lentil-quinoa-soup.html How mine turned out... - I am s...

a day to remember

I have the rest, or some of the rest, of the previous post waiting impatiently for your attention.  Sonia and I spent the day together yesterday and showing her my blog was a grand idea.  I think she got quite a kick out of the descriptions I've made so far of the juicy details of her Australian life.  I also appreciate her editing my mistakes... Thanks Sonia! *** Yesterday, the 11th of November, at the 11th hour, we recognized Remembrance Day by attending a brief, yet touching, ceremony at Flagstaff Hill.  We said a prayer, listened to beautiful singing and trumpet playing, and commemorated those who served in World War I.  Bright bouquets of flowers were placed at the foot of a proud angel statue, positioned above two plots of red poppy adorned white crosses.  The layout reminded me of the memorial day presentation in Echo Park in my hometown of Burlington.
