As we approach the 1 month mark at our new house, it feels like every weekend has been filled with home projects. With the bulk of the initial projects being finished at least we are able to enjoy the house. I think the turning point were the floors. That said, this weekend we were again busy with house chores (lawn mowing, dog baths, grocery store run, etc.) and more home improvement (painting the last room-guest bed, fixing some backyard fence issues, replacing the door handle in the storm door to the main entrance-after what seems like the 12th try the thing works now).
I hope we are done with the big projects for some time so that at least we are able to enjoy our surroundings a little more. We really haven't been out and about the area. Then again, I am sure that the parks around here will be that much nicer to visit once the weather cools down some.
One fun non-house project story from the weekend was a corked wine that Natalie uncorked last night as we were getting ready for dinner. The first sign of trouble was the appearance of the top of the cork when the foil was removed, it had a green, almost fungus-looking tinge to it. We decided to open the bottle to pour the wine out and the result was a fetid smell that was strong enough to cover the entire kitchen and living room. It is amazing the power that a rotten wine can have.
With that I leave you. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

You two have to be exhausted. You have worked really hard on your new place. How's the new lab treating you?
It's a corking shame that your wine was bad. I'd be corking angry if I was you.
I would've been corking angry....but the Brazilian Seafood Stew (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/100966) we had for dinner made it all better.
Man, I really miss getting to try out Natalie's new recipes... I need to move to Nashville.
Yes, I agree. You and Steph do need to move to Nashville.
