Goings ons
I have been a slack blogger of late. Partly by choice and partly not. I’ve had a revelation that if people actually wanted to know what is going on in our little life then they would make contact with us. So why should I blog? The other part of me has not been blogging because […]
Great news for Fangorn
Our current exciting news is that we have finally received building approval for our house! That means that we can start working on it! It is a great milestone for us but we are still waiting on plumbing quotes. One plumbing quote was $5000 beyond our budget. Some quotes have been well above our budget […]
Southport
We’ve just come back from a lovely weekend away with our dear friends, the Smiths. We went to Southport. We also visited Cockle Creek. Cockle Creek is the most southern driveable road in the country. It’s a shame that the road is so terrible. It was so slippery and slidey! Just as our cars were […]
Lovely day!
For a while now, I have been contemplating laying my blog to rest for a while so I can focus on some fictional writing. After hearing from my groupies, however, I have decided to keep writing posts, albeit, perhaps, less frequently. Today was a good day. Great in fact! Although we are sad to say […]

Fences

Windmill Raising
We helped our friends Tanya and Jamahl raise their windmill on Saturday. It was very exciting and it was a lot of fun. All I did was take photos, but Tanya did some great sign painting and she even climbed the beast when all was finished. Monte and Jamahl drove their 4WDs in reverse to […]
Whassup?
This week has been quite normal. So, what is a normal week at Fangorn? We rested on Monday. Monte worked. We did jobs around the house and I was pretty put out that Mothers Day only comes once a year, and I had to do the dishes. Georgia went to school on Tuesday and Matty […]
