the garden boxes are great and they are closer to the house. it is easier to get the herbs for dinner and the salad we want to eat that night. i think this is going to be a great year of the pumpkin. i wonder what confucius would say? and why didn't the chinese have the year of the pumpkin?
having something to get my mind off the state of the world, i have also been riding my scooter a ton. she gives me the freedom i have needed for a few years. life changing events have taken place in the last few years and i was missing something. this pumpkin lifestyle, my scooter, my dogs, and my wife have helped me to find my "happy place."
i want to brag about my wife, Dr. Sundahl, for one paragraph. i am so proud of her and her motivation, not her inability to relax, OCD. she completed her pharmD program at the university of colorado, denver. she has made me a better person, really. getting to know her is and has been the greatest gift of my life. last night she told me a story that i had never heard before and i was smiling about it. she takes me at face value. she is giving and loving, obviously she married me! it has been a struggle for us, with her going to school and me having a hard time finding work. but, we made it!! I LOVE HER!! it has been a joy, even during the hardest times of my life and our lives together. i look forward to what our future holds for us.
now that part of it is over, i look forward to the new challenges we face together. so smart a doctor (thanks cubby) and she is my wife.
we have added a few members to the family. we have another vicious killer named fiona gerturude rana sundahl. the taco bell mishap dog, more later... and we have been expecting this for a while, a new hottub. she is wonderful. helps with my aches and pains. fiona is a terror that i do not wish on anyone but she is ours. she smells the flowers, rips up the carpet, eats beth's shoe insoles, and knocks out her brother's tooth. but she is a magical fit. jackson loves her and lola is happy to be a maternal figure.
