garden discoveries

Every other day, I walk back to our garden…

I look around for ripe tomatoes. I also look around to see if there are any leaves that are dying or any other thing that needs to be done. It’s exciting to be getting all these tomatoes without having done the sowing.

Besides the tomatoes, there are other [...]

guess what this is…

yes, one of the best things so far, about our neighborhood…

I can get milk from a farm that is about 2 miles away. Yeah, in the glass bottles and everything!

I paid the deposit and the price of the milk today, but after today, I will just be bringing back the bottles, and getting fresh [...]

posts will be scarce…

I have so much to write about, but I’m too busy to write.

We’ve moved in and the kitchen is almost all unpacked. Only spices and cookbooks to unpack. I forgot a bunch of pots inside my cabinet in New York, so I have to get some new ones, and cooking has been a bit challenging. [...]

we are 7/8ths moved

Yesterday was the big day. we had asked everyone to be here at 9am to help us move.

The day before we’d gone to get the U-Haul truck– a 24-footer, which Fabio had to drive around in Queens.

We stayed up til 2am packing, and we got up at 6am and continued packing, in order to be [...]

Believe it or not…

the boys and I have been surviving without an air conditioner.

We have not had the pleasure of putting our window unit in, because there’s just too much going on. That’s also true of the mini van, which needs a booster of that special air stuff. I bought it right before the super high temps weekend [...]

the wheel-ing and deal-ing dance

The home front news has been quiet.

Two weeks ago, both our realtor as well as the seller’s realtor were out of town, and so was the seller. Now everyone’s back, and there has been a constant flow of info, but I’ve missed most of it since I was roaming in Canada last week with [...]

we’re finally moving on…

The general home inspections happened on friday. Fabio went straight there from the airport in Philly, upon returning from Charleston, SC. I missed it, so this is all second hand knowledge. I’m glad to report that the inspection went very well. There was no major problems, just a few minor things to take care of. [...]

it’s been accepted and we have pictures…

update: you can look at more pictures on Fabio’s picasa album.

Yes. Our offer was accepted on friday night, and I got a call about it while on the women’s retreat. We’re really excited and now we have to wait for the inspections.

The settlement date is supposed to be at the very end of July, [...]

the money battle

This home buying stuff is a good lesson in math, investments, planning, and borrowing money.

The whole time you are searching for a home, you have to keep in mind your price range. Your price range largely depends on how much you have saved to put down as your initial down payment. Your budget [...]

maybe third time’s a charm…

update: Here’s a picture from the bird’s eye view of the property we put the offer on…

This weekend was another whirlwind of house hunting.

We made arrangements for the boys to stay with my parents, and we went and stayed overnight in Bucks, in the effort of trying to see as many houses as we [...]
