Regular Lives of the Rutherfords

Each time our turn comes around on the blog, I am excited to share what we have been up to and yet find that it doesn't seem too exciting all in the same sitting. I suppose many of us feel that way as we live our lives day to day, but really that's pretty good. There are so many people out there who have circumstances that make their lives exciting in a way that you don't really want or that are too lazy to be involved in their lives at all, so if day to day activities is all we have to report to one another, I'd listen in every day!

FROM NYC...

Not a lot of new to report.

***There's the Regular:
Kurtis is working at Cedar Lake, Mary is working with Jersey Boys, Nice Work If You Can Get It and the occasional sit in with Cedar Lake. We both love what we do and are mostly grateful to be doing it every day!

The beer is still brewing at our house. We are doing lots of batches now as it will get too hot over the summer to do much brewing - the beer will not have a cool enough temperature to actually work the fermentation process (no central air here). Both of us are working in the garden this year as Mary has planted tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, chives, parsley, potatoes, has plans for peppers, and is pleased to see the horse radish return. Kurtis is trying his hand at hops, with four plants in the ground along our fence.

Cats are still in house and getting along like two siblings. Need I say more...

***Then, there's the good kind of exciting:
At long last, we have booked tickets to Australia! After we finished our European Adventure and the move to NYC, we started thinking about the next place we really wanted to go together. Having met so many wonderful people from Australia on the road and having lots of people that Grandma Johnston and my dad still know very well we decided that it would be a wonderful place to visit. We are often traveling to visit family and friends, but very rarely just to vacation together. This one is scheduled for 3 weeks at the beginning of August!!! Still lots of planning to do, but we are extremely excited to have tickets, which makes it much more of a reality.

To each of you and your regular lives, we send love and best wishes for a spring full of health and happiness!!!
