I'm in my super ( Read more... )

We moved yesterday and tonight is our second night here in the new house in Merville. We don't have cable yet or land line or Internet but we've been really busy putting the house to order so I haven't been bored at all. I will splurge on my globe Internet tonight and ( Read more... )
