Our Backyard

Ok...now just imagine a carnival with rides, games, and concessions. Now imagine all that in your backyard. We have a giant slide off our kitchen deck and a Musik Box ride - you know the one where the cars go around really fast and plays loud music - yeah that's what's going on. There's a carnival going on until Wednesday night and it ends anywhere between 1 and 3 am. Oh the loudness and lights!!!! I've tried to post a pic but for some strange reason I can't. It's 10:30 pm and I'm ready for bed, so I've taken some Tylenol PM to help with the sleep tonight.

I got here on Saturday fine. Took a nap and then went to Marostica for the chess game. It was freezing but the game was amazing. I'll put pics on Flickr hopefully tomorrow. (And if Mhairi reads this hopefully you'll be able to get to the link) Michael is away until Thursday at a training somewhere in Italy - I can't exactly remember where he is. He called me from Verona today trying to find the hospital "just in case" it's needed. So I'm spending my first time alone without Michael. Our neighbor is taking me to post with her for the next 2 days since the car is at post, and I can't drive stick yet anyway. So far I've gotten through the first day pretty well. I'll be kept busy for the next 2 days on post.

That's about all the excitement here. I can't wait for this carnival to leave town. Now I know how people feel when the circus comes to town - that's what it feels like without the animals.

All our love!!!!
