Merry Christmas!! All is well here in Texas. Jeff and I have been kept very busy with family and friends. We wish you all much happiness this day and throughout the year. Perhaps after taday We may be able to have a little rest and relaxation to go along with the busyness of holiday preperation. But I have to get throught dinner for 19 today!!

Hi all. This is coming to you from Houston. I've haven't been a good updater of late. It seems if I don't have some interesting trip to report, I can't think of anything. I did make it to a Benvenuto club meeting last Tuesday and there was Jeff's company dinner on Thursday night. Friday morning found me on an airplane through Paris, a last minute date change from Sunday and a preference to avoid Newark and it's winter storm advisory! Liz picked me up and we didn't let Tricia in on the change of plans. She was surprised. Now to trim the tree, bake cookies and send Christmas cards. Hope everyone is glowing with love and happiness as we enter into this very special time of year!

Hi!! I'm not quite sure where to start, but here goes, anyway. L and D left this morning after a very packed visit. I think by next year I'll be really good at this organizing and guiding business. My last entry left us awaiting L and D's return from Rome. Wednesday we went on the tour of Milan, which people take to get into the Last supper, the last stop on the tour. We met up with Jeff and walked the expensive shops to Armani's and I dinner date at Nobu with Alma, Stephano and Ingrid. Thursday we ate a big American breakfast and headed to the Grand Hotel in Florence for a night. It was very cool there, but not rainy, so headed for the Academia and 'David'. WOW!! Wandered Florence a bit, which I was unable to do when we'd come down with T and S. Next morning was the Uffizzi and so much art and statues it's hard to comprehend. We left around 6PM and found out what Florence rush hour was like. It added an hour to our 45 minute drive to Lucca. Lucca is a smaller medieval town, with an 17th century intact wall around it. We checked into another Grand Hotel, this one not as grand, and were directed to a restaurant in the old city. Probably one of the best meals I've had in Italy so far.The next morning we toured Lucca, and then headed for the sea, and a beach. I found both. the Tuscan coast west of Pisa and south is flat and home to wide beaches, and lots of summer rentals. Again it was cool and overcast, so we only took a short roam on the beach. Back in the car and off to Santa Margherita, a town Jeff and I had been to in September. We overnighted there, and in the morning took the short but intense drive into Portofino. We wandered around a bit, looking at art, and enjoying our prettiest day in northern Italy thus far. We were home by 2, or should I say we would have been if we hadn't stopped at the Carrefour for gelato. L and D weren't finding good gelato in Rome, and that theme continued in Florence . Less tourists and cooler weather slows the sales in resort places, but not in Milan! We had a quiet dinner last night followed by uploading pictures and playing card, and Oh I forgot to mention Danny and Jeff going to the music store to buy a guitar!

Liz and Danny arrived Friday. Danny took a short nap while Liz and I visited. It was a rainy cold day, but that did not stop us from hopping on the Metro and going to visit Jeff at his office. he took us to lunch and then I came home while they went to check out the Castle. Liz had to see the ostrich baby food and we needed a few groceries, so they stopped on the way home. Saturday we drove to Cremona, to find the Stradivarius museum. Again we had a rainy drive, and cool temps while we wandered to find lunch, then to find the museum. there is a tall tower next to the church on the main square which Danny wanted climb to the top of, and Liz was requested to join. As anyone who has been here has heard, Ralph Nader has not been here, and Liz found parts of the stair case to be a bit unnerving with there low rails and openness. By the time we were ready to leave Cremona the Christmas trees lining the square hat been lit and a band was playing ragtime jazz. Sunday was off to Rome for L and D and a dinner date for J and J. The Americans in Milan was hosting it's annual Thanksgiving feast at the Westin. On Thursday, Thanksgiving Day for all of you, I was feeling a bit empty, missing this uniquely American holiday, and made the call to the lady organizing the event to find out if we could still come. We had a wonderful time! We went not knowing a sole who would be there, were seated at the President's table, and escaped the world of Adriatic LNG for a time. We even got our dressing and pumpkin 'fix'. L and D will be back late Tuesday and then we have a date with the Last Supper on Wednesday. Had to book a tour of Milan to do it, and will also see the Duomo and La Scala with the tour. And for T and S and C and B that explains why I didn't first thing take them to the Duomo!

Spain is lovely! At least the 100 mile stretch of the southern coast that we visited. And it was warm. Milan is quite nippy today, with overcast skies. I had to go out to 'put money' on the phones and wore my Uggs for the first time. The town in Spain we stayed in was Sotogrande. This part of Spain is a haven for golfers, heavily represented by the UK, but lots of Germans, also. The day I was to leave Jeff and I drove inland and saw a landscape full of orange groves and olive trees sandwiched in between rolling hills. Jeff and I debated which area of the US it reminded us most of and came up with New Mexico only with an ocean. I'd already packed and had my camera in my carry on, but left the luggage in our room, so no pictures of this.

Out of time

I have 5 minutes before Jeff says '"let's go" and we're off to the airport for Malaga, Spain. I was uninspired to write these past 2 days, blame it on the cold meds, so out of necessity here goes. Thursday we cleaned house, Friday proved so windy, and there was a transit strike, so stayed home. Saturday we got in the car and off to Ravenna we went. I sneezed a good part of the way. We toured many churches and saw amazing mosaics from the 6th century when this was the capital of the eastern roman empire. I think I have my facts right but don't quote me on that. Sunday I slept in and C and B went to explore another church. Back in the car and my request to see a beach on the adriatic. I set the Tom Tom for the nearest one and once again, remoteness does not deter the Tom Tom from selecting it. Down the unpaved road we went, but once at the destination, it was worth it. The last few pictures are of Cathy being more adventurous than the rest!!

Day 5 found the wandering sisters exploring Milan. We had one goal in mind, the Last Supper, where I though I had booked a ticket on line. Whatever I did it wasn't reserving tickets. We had started out knowing that the odds were 50/50, due to no confirmation email. So, with trusty map in hand, Cathy and Barbara picked the path and off to St Ambrogio's we went. The Basilica was built starting 379, and is named after the patron saint of Milan. It looked rough on the outside but was a gem inside. Day 6 was cleaning day. Day 7 was train trip to Como, with a boat ride to Bellogio. Today there is a transit strike, so no trains except during rush hours. Tomorrow it's back in the car to head to the Adriatic.

Sisters Cathy and Barbara are here. They arrived in the 2nd of November. I guess I was long in between posts thinking how much can one write about resting a broken ankle? On Saturday Jeff drove us to the Italian Riviera. We've gone east to Portofino and Cinque Terra, but this was our first time going west. I picked the small town of Albenga out of a guide book and off we went. It was a good destination for seeing the Mediterranean, and a medievil town. Sunday , C,B and J got on the train to Venice for an overnight there. We toured the Doge's Palace, and St Mark's cathedral,and wandered through narrow 'streets' lined with shops and cafe's. I plugged along, but did slow the progress. There are alot of steps going up and down over the smaller canals, and where going up is OK coming down is a challenge.

The oven is fixed. Just in time for Thanksgiving, though I don't think Jeff even has the day off, much less me planning a big meal. I've been doing my research this week on Venice and Rome. My sisters are coming on 11/2 and Venice will be our 1st visit. I've read that Venice in prone to flooding during high tides in the fall. The tide timetable tells me that on 11/4 it is at 7:56 AM and gets later there after. I figure the sooner the better for our visit. Walking will be enough of a challenge for me without having to wade through water!!!

Finely got around to posting all the pictures from Tricia and Steven's visit. It was a good day for internet use, which for us is not always the case. As Iive progressed from keeping my foot up, as in elevated with me lying down to reduce swelling, to just staying off it, it's catch up time. Enjoy!!

Guess what? It has now been confirmed that our oven doesn't work. We were told by the landlord that it was user error, that Italian ovens are different then American. Ha!! I also found out where the heat comes from. It runs through the ceilings. So I guess the heat is on, as we've been quite comfortable with the temperatures in the 50's. Still haven't tried to use the foot. We're going with the theory of the longer I can stay off it the faster it will heal.

So what I came up with was using some Starwood points and getting 2 rooms in Florence for Saturday night. Tricia and Steven explored while Jeff and I sat. If we'd known befor Friday night at 9:30 PMthat that was the plan we might have looked at the "ticket" thing. But as it was they saw the leaning tower of Pisa, but no tickets available, and they saw the outside of things in Florence but no tickets to get in most. So for future guests, be advised, as much as we might want to play it by ear, if you really want to see the most popular sights, prebooking that visit is advised.

We interrupt this visit for Janet to recuperate from a minuscule fracture of the left ankle. How you may ask? by stepping wrong an her way to dinner along a blacktopped footpath. Thank goodness we were only a few blocks from home, and our new office chair, with wheels, got a unique work out. Tricia and Steven are off to Cinque Terra tonight for 2 nights, and we'll pick them up on Saturday. Don't know what sort of sightseeing we'll accomplish after that...

Tour of Italy, continued. We went to Bolzano on Saturday morning. It was dreary outside, drizzling and chilly. All we did was stop at a castle that has housed a WW I museum since the 20's and a nice armory collection. That stop was for Steven and Jeff, but was well done and enjoyed by all. Next stop was to find our hotel, which proved to be an "interesting" drive. We rely heavily on our TOM TOM GPS system to help us find our way, and it decided that on our drive up the mountain to Soprabolzano we should take a short cut. Not something that should be recommended to a first time visitor to this mountain. Our attitude once we reached our destination was we weren't going back down, but were told of a much nicer way, and that GPS tends to send people that way. Day 2 we had a leisurely start to fine weather. Our Main destination for this day was an archaeological museum that houses the 5000 year old man who was discovered in the alps in 1991. Fascinating!! We got the audio guides and could have spent twice as much time as we did. We decided to drive to the Spa town of Mereno for more sights and back to the Hotel Fink. Day 3 was Trento (the location for the council of Trent held in the 1550's) and Verona, home of a intact Roman amphitheater, and the fictitious home of Romeo and Juliet.

I've been without internet since Sunday so sorry for the delay on a new posting. Through work Jeff and others needed to gather several parties from 'afar'.... soon, and found that there was no room at the inn, at least no inn in Milan. It was fashion week and the town was booked. So quickly accommodations were arranged at the Regina Palace in Stresa, on Lago Magorrie, the first place Jeff and I had taken a day trip to. Jeff was going to be gone until Friday, so I decided to join him. Just What I need you're saying, another vacation!. Tricia and Steven arrived this morning and we took them back to Stresa for the day, of shopping, roaming, and trying to stay awake. we're back in Milan now and they're both tucked in bed. tomorrow is laundry, and on Saturday it's off to Bolzano and the Dolomites.

It's truly amazing what is 2 hours drive from our front door. This weekend we headed south into the region of Liguria. This region is protected by the Appennines, so the driving was winding roads. We didn't get an early start and we didn't have reservations, but that didn't matter. We reached our destination of Portofino and had a wonderfully relaxed afternoon and evening. Now my month long, or has it been since June?, vacation is over. It's back to laundry, ironing cleaning and add to that, a Friday morning bible study on Matthew, and a Benvenuto club event almost weekly. The club is for women expats who are english speaking interested in many things in Milan.This Wednesday is a trip to Lago d'Iseo.

I'm back in Milan. Travel was smooth until arrival here and there was a big back up to get through immigrations. Jeff was waiting for me with our new rental car and a hug. Traffic into Milan was the worst I've seen since moving here, and delayed my personal crash landing further. Jeff let me sleep until 5PM. I didn't sleep a minute on the plane, but read most of Harry Potter and the half blood prince. I told Tricia I'd have the 7th one finished by the time she got here, which is the first of October. I'll be going to my first 'newcomers' club meeting for english speaking women in Milan and also will start a bible study on thursday. Now to try to stay awake for a few more hours...

Sturday September 8th, 2007

Jeff returned to Milan on September 1. Someone has to pay the bills while the other is on vacation for the next two years. Janet is planning to return to Milan September 15 (or so). This will need to be determined so that Jeff is back from a quick trip to Doha Qatar targeted for September 12-14 so he can pick her up at the airport. Vacation has been great, and much of Tricia and Stevens house got a coat of paint. Liz and Danny are doing very well. We got to attend one our "Care Group" meetings. We volunteered to host the next one, but every one had some excuse about it being "too far away" or some such nonsense.
The six of us had dinner on August 31 at "The Melting Pot" in Houston. If you've been to one of these places, you know what the evening was like. If you haven't, you'll have to go see for yourself. All I can say is "be prepared to eat A LOT, and wear short sleeves".

It's still vacation time in the states for Janet, but Jeff has gone into the office the past 3 mornings. Due to the condition of 'things' at work, Jeff foresees working very long hours when he returns to work on Monday. Because of that he has changed my reservation and I will be leaving Houston on the 16th instead of the 4th. The ladies in my life are happy about that, which makes me happy. But as son-in-law Steven pointed out, how am I going to plan there 2 weeks in October from here?
I don't see a problem with that!!

The Janet and Jeff show has arrived in Edina, Minnesota. Jeff has 2 trips to the driving range and 18 holes under his belt so far. He's 1 happy guy. Daughter Liz joined the party today. We'll be kept busy visiting family and talking!!

We're back in the good old HOT USA. We arrived late friday in Houston, and thursday we'll head to Minneapolis, where the weather is hopefully a bit cooler. Jeff has plans to golf and golf and golf. he hasn't hit a ball for 9 months, and is really looking forward to spending time on the course. We are presently staying with Tricia and Steven, the latter having arrived from Singapore on friday, also. The dogs and Tricia have lots of company now. We'll be up north for a week then back to Houston.

I spent all yesterday working with the photos from our weekend. The internet was not cooperating with the downloads etc. and the picture file to the right is somewhat large. I tried to trim it, couldn't do much. I hope you all have figured out the best way to view these slide shows is to click on them and get a bigger picture with some comments. As the pictures attest, the scenery was beautiful. We were hoping to find cooler air, which we did, but as you can see, it was still summer weather. Jeff and I both got a little sunburn on our faces. This was our first overnight trip, and we barely scratched the surface of what there is to do in this the smallest and least populated province of Italy. I haven't been to Switzerland yet, but I have a feeling these town had more in common with that country than with the rest of Italy. For starters there was no graffiti!!!!! The roads were quite good for mountain passes, never feeling like you could go over the edge, which is nice.

We probably will take it easy this weekend, and will be flying to Houston on the 10th. See you then.

So, here's my problem. So much to see, only have weekends with Jeff, and want to wait to do the big 3 with out-of-towners. Fortunately, in last week's shipment came a book Elizabeth and Danny got me for Christmas titled 101 beautiful small towns in Italy. I'm starting in the A's. This weekend will be our first overnight and we're headed to Aosta, in the smallest and least populated of Italy's regions. It also is very close to Europe's highest mountain, and to the Matterhorn, known here as Monte Cervino. So all week I get to plan our adventure! Stay tuned for more great pictures next week.

Yesterday the air shipment arrived, all 1100lbs.. I rearranged the kitchen and put the owner's stuff in the upper reaches that I am too short to get to without a step stool. That was the easy part. Next we approached the bed and bath linens. Fortunately there is storage under our mattress, no such thing as box springs here, to again put all of the owner's stuff. Now to my BIG problem, clothes, specifically those that used to hang. There is no more room in the guaderroba, or whatever they call their cross between a closet and a wardrobe. So, there are shelves in the hall, and in the 2nd bedroom and in the laundry room I will utilize, but I'm not quite sure how. We also received items that were meant for storage, and are pretty sure there are a few things that went the other way. Or, they could be in with the mess I shoved into the closet in the bedroom we used at the Linger's. At least we can check that out soon. The highlights of what arrived were the box of Splenda, and the Pampered Chef oil sprayer. We've searched high and low and can not find the Splenda or a pan spray of any kind. So, thank you Tricia for my Christmas gift that I will finally have great pleasure in using. Now I really am feeling guilty for not getting with the house work so...

The picture was taken last weekend on Islo Bella.
Good morning and happy friday. Good news of the day is I get my "stuff" all 1100 lbs on monday. that will keep me busy next week. I've gotten very tired of the clothes I packed, and had limited space when I flew over, so I have had few options. And the sales are on so I have had to do some window shopping. I know what I would like, but can't remember what I shipped, and don't want to buy anything I don't need. FYI, it can be 92 outside and you will still see jeans, alot of them down to the pubic bone. you will also see ladies shopping and going to market in skirts and dresses. I haven't seen 1 skort for sale, and they are my preference for a day of walking. I spent yesterday walking and exploring with Inga and Fredrik, from Norway, but presently on assignment in Spain. The husband is in charge of building 'the terminal' for this project, and was here for meetings and brought his family. Now when I tag along to Spain with Jeff, I'll have a friend!

What a weekend we had. who knew getting wired could cost so much money! Purchases this weekend included a TV, DVD player, TV stand, a couple of small carts for bathroom storage, misc. routers, splitters etc. for internet to computer and TV and that is just the furniture angle. July is sale month in Italy. From what we understand it is the only time stuff goes on sale. It's a good thing I only have cash to spent, or else I'd be walking south 5 blocks and hitting the stores. I still might. Our shipment is due this week, as soon as it is released from customs, and I honestly don't remember what is in there. Arranging all that stuff will keep mi busy for a while. My first attempt at adding pictures did not give the results I wanted. They are from Bergamo, where I visited 2 weeks ago with new friends. Jeff and I went to Lake Maggiore, visiting the town of Stresa, taking a boat ride to 2 islands, and touring a castle and gardens on Isola Bella. We left Stresa and wandered a bit then headed for Arona, the southernmost town. Not that much to see there. Will attempt to post those pictures later. It took only 2 weekends and Jeff is driving like Jeff. The Tom Tom navigation certainly helps.

July 7, 2006

Janet and Jeff are going on their first Road Trip. Driving in Italy is definitely different. Not sure if the driving is so much different, or if it just seems that way because there is so much to focus on. And, OH YEAH, all the signs are in Italian!!! I think one of the challenges is that there are not so many restrictive signs as there are permission signs. That being said, the signs are in Italian, so we're not really sure what they say. Anyway, we are going to Lago Maggiore, (Major lake, or I think the actual meaning is "The Most Important lake") It is an hour or so west of Lake Como, set in the foothill of the Italian Alps. We should be about 20 minutes from Switzerland, so we may experience our first border crossing as well... we'll see.

Hello from MILANO

I am at Jeffs office and have a minute before we go to the bank to get me on the account. We still are without internet at the apartment, but everything that flew with us has a home and we settling in nicely. We should get our "stuff" mid July. We have taken the company up on the offer of a rental car for 40 days. Most of the furniture and electronics stores are beyond train stops, and we would like to buy a TV and some sort of furniture for the 2nd bedroom, which is now serving as my laundry room. I may have mentioned the extra room is long and narrow with 2 doors on opposite walls, so configuring sleeping for 2 will be a trick, but we will figure it out. In the mean time I have a room to dry clothes, hang them to iron, and iron! my job here is to keep Jeff in clean clothes, ironed shirts, and maybe food. I have no problem buying groceries, but the meat is very different, and there is no outside grill!!!! Until later, my love and kisses to all.

I'm here!!

Hello from Milan. I'm in Jeff's office using his computer as we are still in temporary living space. Our temporary home is Embassy suite meets cabin in the woods. You have a kitchen, refrigerator, and bed, bath and living room, but it's no frills, no AC, no shower, and only CNN and BBC. It stays pretty cool, especially with the fan we purchased the first night I was here, but the washer takes 2 hours, the clothes dry on the line, and the party starts outside our window at 10PM. Hopefully we'll be out by Saturday, but this is Italy and who knows! I have successfully taken solo journeys on the subway and to the grocery store. Jefff and I spent the weekend walking, and have pictures, but need to be using our own computer to start that. My love anf hugs to everyone, whereever you are!!

Janet has arrived

After a few hours of delay at the newark airport, Janet arrived in Milan on June 13. after 27 hours, she is still slightly suffering from jet lag. we will be going to inspect the apartment that we are contracting to rent at 5:oo PM today June 14. Currently she has not access to her gmail or to this blog. She will occassionally get access through a "hotspot" or I will print emails for her and she can read them in the evenings. this should be a temporary situation.

Our Italy mobile phone numbers are:
Janet 011-39-320-851-4719
Jeff 011-39-320-852-2331
Please remember that these are international calls and will cost you an additional connect fee and a per minute charge. AND... we are 7 hours ahead of US Central time zone, so if you call us after dinner, you will be waking us up.

I will post more tomorrow or Saturday. Until then we send our best from Italy. Hope to hear from all of you soon. (We should be posting some pictures in the near future, so stay tuned.)

Count down to Tuesday

Guess what? I'm moving to Milan!! OK already...I'm getting excited. Tricia and I took a road trip to Austin for the wedding of one of my girl scouts, and Liz joined us on Saturday for Juli Todd's dance recital. Tricia was in the wedding party so I dropped her off with the bride on Thursday and caught up with her at the wedding on Friday. The wedding was outside in the garden in the 93 degree heat. Thankfully the reception was in a refurbished barn that was airconditioned. The food was 100%USDA certified organic, and the paper cups compostable. That's Austin for you. Thursday found we driving to Leander and spending the nights with my dear friend Deb. Saturday was dance, and after a late dinner Tricia and I headed home. Got in at midnight. Now to tidy up, pack up and finish up as much as I can in the next day and a half. I'll be having a going away supper with my daughters Monday night and my flight leaves at 10:45 AM on Tuesday.

Jeff's adventure has begun

Jeff is now officially an expatriot. I'll follow on the 12th of June. Jeff's not certain but he may spent some of the next 12 days in London, or maybe Qatar again. His assignment for me is to find a flat, and some local cell phones. I'll spend the next few days getting Tricia's a little tidier, and my last weekend until August in Austin for a wedding of one of my scouts and Juli Todd's dance recital.

There is a Doctor in the house!!

It's official. Our eldest daughter is now officially Dr. Patricia Norris Linger D.D.S.. Graduation was at 4PM, with 12 friends and family to cheer her on and delight in her speech as class president. My sister Barbara gets the prize for coming the farthest. We gathered at the home of Mr. and Dr. Linger for the graduation celebration. (i.e we ate and drank.)

The Gang's all here

Steven got in last night, and Jeff got in 30 min. ago. What a way to celebrate a 28th birthday for Steven and J and J's 29th anniversary. Barbara comes in tomorrow, and Tricia's graduation from dental school is Thursday. We have no plans for this weekend. YEAH!!! Not that there isn't anything to do.

It's here

Jeff's got that elusive permit in his hands, and tomorrow will run to the Italian consolate for his visa. then we get to start the process for mine!

The Permit is in the mail

That elusive work permit is on it's way from Rome to Jeff, to be converted to a work visa at the Italian consulate upon arrival in Houston. Jeff will be making a quick trip to Qatar at the end of this week and be back for Tricia's graduation. May is always a busy month, trying to schedule birthday and anniversary celebrations into the regular activities. It's been made more complex with these men on other continents! I had a wonderful Mother's day, and actually went to a restaurant with my daughters and husband. Retirement is wonderful.

We're Homeless and exhausted

Boy have we been busy! 1100# packed, crated and ready to ship to Milan. Many boxes packed and put directly into storage vaults on the Allied van. House is cleaned and vacuumed. And...Big OOPS I forgot to send off a final email to me with everyone copied to my new address before we disconnected on Wednesday. So... there is a very good chance I don't have your email address. Please contact me with that info at janetn1956@gmail.com. Thank You. Now where was I. I'm officially done with work last Friday. We're staying with Tricia for the interim, which is OK because husband Steven is in Singapore. And man are Jeff and I getting to old to be dealing with moving furniture plants, and interim living stuff to various locations. If I didn't mention it, WE ARE EXHAUSTED!! But it's done and now we just need to tidy up the bomb we dropped at Tricia's, both inside and in the garage.

Jeff's Italian Work permit is supposedly ready to be issued. Should be able to go to the Italian Consulate here in Houston next week to get the Visa(s).
First day "In Country" is targeted to be June 1, 2007. Hey that's only 6 weeks late. Not bad by Italian standards. In Italy, lateness is usually measured in terms of Years and sometimes decades.

She's here

The answer to the frequently asked question of me in Minnesota: Elizabeth Anderson was born yesterday evening to Brandi and James. She weighed 7lb 9oz.

We're becoming homeless

As of next Friday May 4, we will be officially homeless. The house sale will close and we need to move in with Tricia and Steven. I would guess that we'll spend a few nights in Hotels, just to maintain all of our sanity. All of our stuff will go into either long term or temporary storage on Thursday. We can't rent an apartment in Milan or anything else related to the move until the Italian Government issues my Work Permit. The official planning date is now June 1 as my In-Country Start date. Oh, well, I needed to practice my patience anyway, at least that's what Janet says.

1 baby step

We got an exception to continue with the house sale!!! Now I have my work cut out for me. Pack for temporary living , 1 month in Houston, and whatever in Milan, what gets stored and what gets shipped. Should be interesting...

Home

I'm back in Houston and trying to get in the habit for future updates. Steven leaves for Singapore Monday, and was busy yesterday hanging ceiling fans and painting their bedroom. Jeff comes in today.

4/18 in Minnesota

This is my 1st lesson/attempt. My hope is that I will be as diligent as my niece in posting the 'Continuing adventures of Janet and Jeff'. stay tuned for permits received, house closings,etc. Bye for now
