So, I know you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, but if the newspaper calls you and tells you something, then can you believe it? How about if both Pittsburgh newspapers call? We've heard that Judy was acquitted of two of the three charges brought against her, but... (More)

Quotes and More

4/10 - Noah comes up to me, winking, and says, "Mommy, me one eye!" It was hilarious. (I couldn't wink until first grade.) 4/11 - Guess which story this is, by Noah: "Let me in. No, no, no. Blow up house!" 4/20 - What does Noah say when... (More)

2008 Taxes

I haven't looked at how much time it took us to do taxes this year - I thought we were doing pretty well, time-wise, until we blew 8 hours or so today finishing them off (or is it them finishing us off, I'm not sure which...) I noticed a number of places where the strange, complicated... (More)

News I Forgot to Mention

Speaking of news, I forgot to post here that the closing arguments for Judy's trial are scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll be heading to Pittsburgh to hang out with folks who will be there in her support. Of course, this might be the first time a scheduled meeting actually happened when it... (More)

Arizona Pictures

I guess we haven't written about Arizona yet, so that'll come later, but Heather posted the pictures today, but I hadn't gotten around to making the panoramic collection yet, so I just did that. For those of you snappy readers/watchers, you'll probably want to check out the pictures... (More)

House Work on Denny Road

I also have been doing some work on our new house. This morning we installed new downspouts on the west side of the house - (we previously had done some work on the east side). They aren't the prettiest pipes in the world, but the take the water from the two corners and pipe it over down... (More)

Switzerland: Back to the USA (12 Jan 2009)

Very early in the morning, we got up, had breakfast and said goodbye to Sarah (all the other Dutlers said goodbye the night before.) Janet and Stephan came to pick us up and we crammed all ourselves and stuff into the mini-minivan. They took us to the Basel airport where we spent quite... (More)

Switzerland: Day of Rest and Laundry (08 Jan 2009)

I was in need of a break from sightseeing and catching trams and we were out of clean clothes. Jon started a wash as soon as we got up. I asked him about his eye and he said it felt fine. Praise God! We hung around, took naps, read, and checked on laundry. The washer takes two... (More)

Switzerland: Around Basel (06 Jan 2009)

The morning got off to a slow start, but we did more packing and I believe Mom and Dad came to Richard's so we could all go together to the heart of Basel. We were originally going to see some sights and then meet Janet and Stephan for lunch, but we ended up just getting there in time for... (More)

Switzerland: Wedding! (03 Jan 2009)

I woke up around 6am (with alarm) and got ready to go to Valda's to get my hair done. I got myself some yummy muesli with yogurt and sat down in the living room to eat, only to see the clock and note that I needed to leave in only a few minutes. I gulped a few more mouthfuls as I put my... (More)

Switzerland: Meetings and Rehearsals (01-02 Jan 2009)

Waking up at the above mentioned 2pm left us just enough time to get ready to go to the Renaissance Dance Rehearsal at 3:00. Janet wanted us to dance to medieval music at the wedding reception and thought it would be a good idea for us to practice ahead of time. About 20 of us were there,... (More)

Switzerland: En Route (30-31 Dec 2008)

Barbara drove us, with our two big suitcases, three backpacks, computer suitcase, and small/hand bag, to the bus station in Concord. We got there just in time to buy tickets and get on the bus that took us to Logan airport in Boston. Check-in went smoothly and our biggest suitcase was just... (More)

Notes

I am now on vacation and so can spare a few minutes to type up the notes that have been hanging in my pocket for a while. I will apologize to my readers for making them wait so long, but I will not feel guilty. Blogging is something most mothers in the history of the world did not have on... (More)

More Fun with Water

It has been annoying me that the "tagcloud" on the side panel has the largest word "water", (it sizes the words based on the count the frequency of word usage in our most recent posts), but here I go again, adding to the count. We had a bunch of water in our basement again, this time... (More)

Software Development

I have been quite behind in my magazine reading, and this morning I caught up to August (2008 - at some points, it has been necessary to specify the year when saying how far behind I am). There is an interesting article in Dr. Dobbs, by Scott Ambler , regarding methods of estimating... (More)
