Life is beginning to return to a new normal. We're doing the 'normal' things now: homework, school work, work-work, housework, cooking, cleaning, and drinking tea. For now, it's less exploring and more time on everyday experiences.
You might enjoy a look at our appliances, which are a tad different that we are accustomed:
 |
| We chose not to have a TV, which is working quite well. NetFlix does the job! |
 |
| The dishwasher, for which we are very grateful, runs for over two hours. |
 |
| The washer takes between 2 1/2 hours and one hour per small load. |
 |
| The 'dryer' takes 12-48 hours. |
 |
| Allen's manual weed eater. He did about .01% of the garden before he took a break/gave up. |
 |
| Note that when using the hedge trimmer, one must be careful to avoid cutting the cord. At least it's electric and works quite well...when the cord is intact! |
On the positive side, the stove can bring a pot of water to boiling in just a few seconds and the oven works quite well. It's been quite an adventure and we are having fun learning how everything works.
