We officially voted in Arizona by absentee ballot, so we weren't able to go to a polling place today and thus I don't have my coveted "I Voted Today" sticker. It's a little sad, but I'm glad that I was able to cast a vote in AZ. I think I'm going to treat myself with this t-shirt in lieu of my sticker:

In other news, Vanessa left today and went back to AZ after helping us immensely for the last 5 days - particularly with translating the movers, who liked to comment that we were lazy whenever we sat down and wondered if Mr. Burns was pregnant. She assured them that no, SHE is not pregnant, HE is fat. I suppose his lion cut isn't necessarily flattering...
The Roths are coming tomorrow to visit for a week and I'm going to put them to work! I'm hoping Gary can give me some advice on what to plant in this "soil" out here. I can tell by all the holes that Chula has dug in the back yard that it's at least 90% sand. Besides pine trees, what grows in that? Are there really nutrients to be had??
Once I dig out the cables to my camera and download my pictures, I'll post some of the house. Maybe I'll even include one of the metallic and rose colored paint that is smeared all over the wallpapered diningroom. (eeeek!)
Off to bed....

Congrats on the move in. Watermelon grows really well in sandy soil. It is also really fun to watch it grow, too. (That is if animals don't eat it.)
