When this blog started two and a half years ago, we were happily living in Portland, Oregon. Peter was but a twinkle in Martin and Erika's eye, we were looking for a house to buy, and this blog was mostly about Food. My, the more some things change, the more others stay the same.
But first, the news. Here is a quick highlight of This Week's House Drama. When Erika last reported on the house we made an offer on in Grass Valley, she mentioned that Another Cat had suddenly come into the picture as part of the deal. Well, we had a little chat and Erika and Martin immediately revoked the offer. There might have been a few other factors at play, like the 20-minute commute to town, which was starting to sound really long, and the fact that the situation with the bank was getting more complicated instead of less, but still. Another cat? No way. Erika and Martin have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but feel that it really was the right decision.
However, there are a few other house options under consideration, both in Nevada City. Stay tuned...
In other late-breaking news, Martin has finally received a job offer that actually interests him. He is currently contemplating it. It sounds really cool, but we don't want to start counting those chickens yet so that's all I'm going to say about it right now.
And now for the REAL news. Allow me to quote from the thank you note that Erika and Martin received from our latest house sitters:
"I can't tell you how much we appreciated having a [blah blah blah] AND of course, the BEST cat in the world! I've had cats all my life, and have never met a more friendly and loving one."
Someone *finally* appreciates me for who I am. Not one mention of my size in that note, mind you. All about my *inner* beauty. Hmmph.
Oh, and for you photo hounds, here are the Kosinas in attendance at one of the coolest weddings ever (Congratulations, Tracy and Jason Starr!). That large boy on Martin's shoulders? Peter.
