Shaking

Long time.
Real long time.
Since June we've been back to Maryland. Everyone is just fine. We had a fun (although if we heard, "It's not the heat....we were gonna scream!) We spent 3 weeks in the end of July and early August.
Then...
We MOVED!

Go figure.
Here's the short story-
Kathy and Larry (Garth's parents) purchased a house in Oregon. Their house in Vallejo wasn't in any shape to sell so, they asked if we would move in to the house to help them our financially while they get it ready to go on the market.
So
We're now residents of Vallejo
BIG change from San Rafael. In many ways, it is SO much better. There is a LOT more diversity, people are more friendly, and over-all it is a much more family friendly community.
The down side is that you have to answer questions like, "Momma, why does that man have a watch on his leg?"
-Well son, he is on house arrest.
sigh.
We also got a new dog.
He is a rescue from Smiley Dog Rescue and he's a pit bull. Yeah, we LOVE the underdogs.
His name is JJ and he is about a year and a half old.
Sage is still around and SO happy to have a nice young friend.
