When There’s No Time to Write, There Are Always Dog Pictures
My last post was over 2 months ago. Shameful, I know. In my defense, our little home did blow up with business as we prepared for Ivan’s residency applications. And, during that time, we were able to raised $10,000 to pay for the application process. That’s a big deal! But I also realized that writing […]

Beets and Garlic Scapes
Weekends have pretty much been a bust for us lately. And what with work, chores and taking care of the dogs, the weekends are really our only opportunity to actually get out and do something or experience a new part of this awesome city.

Also, as we live on Third Avenue, a main route in Bay Ridge, the parade marched its honking, blaring, boisterous self right in front of our windows. But, given the usual traffic noise […]

Our First Few Days
Monday at 6am, Ivan and I piled into a U-Haul (Babe in the center seat). My mom and grandma, meanwhile, loaded into my mom’s CRV (with Ajax in the back). We began our trip from Erie, Pennsylvania to Brooklyn, New York—a trip that lasted almost ten hours. By 8pm that evening, the empty U-Haul was […]
