Limited technology

I've been remiss about posting, as I've been living with limited technology for the past 10 days.

M and I have rented a tiny house in Grass Valley (temporary, month to month) and we have no land line, no TV (except the fuzzy "air" reception) and no regular internet access. In order to play on the computer, I have to go to the Library, a cafe, or down to my mom's house (about 30 minutes away). It's definitely cramping my style.

The new (temporary) place is fun though. Grass Valley is a little Gold Country town next door to another cute town, Nevada City. There are lots of restaurants, antique stores, and old Victorian houses here. It's more mountainous (it's about 2500 feet) and more pine-tree-ey. It's fun to live somewhere and get to know the town. Though I grew up near here, I never spent much time here.

There are two yarn stores up here--so far I've only been to one. The house is adjacent to a park with hiking trails, and once this week's rain stops (deluge!) I hope to get back into an exercise routine.

Have been spending lots of time with my mom--see here about every other day or so. Will spend Easter with my family, and we're reviving our annual egg hunt and beer in the afternoon interlude after a couple year's absence. Should be fun1

  1. Karen - this is such an awesome idea. It is great to quickly catch up on what you've been doing. I can't wait to see the pics. I was in VA last week and we stopped by Foamhenge - loved it!
