Snow!!!!

Well, that was a quick week! Actually I would have posted on here if I'd had a computer to work on! Jason moved the computers around last weekend. He put the one that he was using downstairs in what will be his office, put mine on the desk in the upstairs office next to the one Kristen has been using for her school work. BUT..... turns out he can't get internet connection on his computer downstairs, and mine needs an adaptor or something because it hasn't got wireless network on it? Or something like that. Anyway, we've only had one computer all week, so I haven't been able to do a post in the mornings like I was doing while Kristen did school work. I'm really hoping Jason can get something sorted this weekend.

 Look! we got snow!!!!!! This was our deck on Friday morning :-) It was just a dusting and mainly on the rooftops, you couldn't see much of it on the ground, but it was fun to see, and boy has it turned cold. Hard to believe our friends in Texas still have such high temps. But it's October, and to me it should always be a bit colder by October. For the past 8 years we have ususally been in flipflops and t-shirts still at Halloween, I don't think that will be the case this year, and I'm fine with that, I've been looking forward to our first winter here.

Anyhoo, not much going on here other than trying to get boxes unpacked and the house in order ready for our housewarming/halloween party at the end of the month! It's slow going what with doing school with Kristen and also having to watch the puppy every minute of the day!!

I still wanted to post and show some pictures I took this week (mainly for my sis) ;-) I thought she might like to see more of the views we have.

 I walked up the driveway to the mail box last Saturday and because I had my phone with me, I snapped these pics. Above, is our house without any zoom (it's a long driveway), you can see the mountains in the background, and below, I zoomed in. We were just getting ready to go out, so Jason's car doors are open. And no Nenna, that's not his Corvette. He bought a four wheel drive Mitsubishi a few weeks ago ready for the snow. He won't be able to drive his vet in snow and ice!

 At the top of the drive, as  you look left, this is what you see (above)

 When I get right to the end, this is a view of the street as you turn left out of the driveway, and below is a view to the right.

You can just see our mailbox on the right,  it's not at the very end of our driveway, but a little further along sitting next to next doors mailbox. I guess that's so it's easier for the mailman to deliver things, he doesn't have to stop as many times if two mail boxes are right next to each other. Most of the mail boxes are set out like this.  But I love that we have our own mailbox again and not just a little slot with a key that you usually have to drive to!

More pics, these ones below were taken at the beginning of the week when it was still in the 70's. Kristen and I took the dogs for a little walk. I should have snapped their pictures too. I will try to do that next time we go out.

 Ok, I'll wrap it up here. It's 7.30am on a Saturday. I used to love being up early on the weekends and have a quiet hour to myself having coffee, but these days if I get up, I have to 'sneak' downstairs so Bindi doesn't hear me. As soon as she knows I'm up she'll start whining and want to be out. I snook straight in to the office so I could post this. If I want coffee I will wake her up, so it's never a nice quiet coffee I have. But that's ok, she won't be a puppy forever. Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope I can post more next week.
