Redmond, here we come

We have the Soldotna house under contract.  If all goes well we'll be closing in the last week of April.

So now we start the various forms of panic.

The current plan is to depart Tallahassee on the 1st of March getting to Portland by the end of the month. Then on to Soldotna by April 9th for two weeks of fun filled packing.  Anyone wanting to get in on the fun sign up soon as I'm sure there will be a rush to join in.

Have fun out there.

Getting Cold Here

Gonna freeze here tonight.  I guess we can stand one freeze a winter.  It will be in the 70s soon enough.

Had Spencer for the night last night.  He informed us that he knows more than us because he knows everything.
Here he is teaching Grandma how to use the iPad.
Then we went to Mollys soccer game.

Someone told me that the #1 export from the USA was refined petroleum fuels.  That seemed odd to me, so I checked at the census bureau's web site and it's true.

Think of all that means.

Tell me again why we need more and more crude.

Drill baby drill!
