Apartments and Horses



This is a video of our apartment. We call the apartment "Smokey Joe," because whenever we come in from being outside or walk into our living room in the morning, it smells like smoke. That is kind of a pain. We are hoping to move out on Monday or Tuesday into a much better apartment. Our new apartment will be a studio, with 1.5 baths. That most likely sounds weird to you as it did to me. Why a studio could have 1.5 bathrooms, I don't know. What happened was that the main bathroom is down the hall of the apartment complex. (Not very far down the hall, mind you.) Alex told me that the bathroom most likely doubles the square footage of the apartment. The best news however, is that it does not smell like cigarette smoke. That is something that we are both really thankful and are very willing to pay a little extra for these benefits!!


And now a word from Alex. . .
Well, we've had an interesting trip so far, as you have heard from Mike, but it had it's high points too. We stopped at Uncle Tim and Aunt Kathy's house in Washington on the way up (I've been to Washington now!) and because of our unexpected extended stay they let us ride their horses! This was Mike's first time to ride horses and my fourth? Not sure, but we both loved it! Here is Mike on Snubby and me on Bo. Our horses were very tame and well ridden, Uncle Tim's was a little feisty and tried to get him off every once in awhile!
