Looking in on the Löwenherz

Murray, Mom and Kate helped our dear Löwenherz pack for a move from their first little home to their second little home.  Here is a tiny glimpse of their former dwelling and folks busy therein. 



 This is what you used to see when you walked in.

Hint of kitchen and living room

  Murray and Kate make a great team.

 
After a bunch of busy bees bustling about boxes are the new decor theme.


 See? I told you Richard is a man of many talents.

 Later on, the Löwenherz dropped by on their way to their second honeymoon. Our little bed and breakfast was so glad to accommodate them.

The Summer Flies By & We Soak It All In...

Our little valley has been having little adventures over the past few weeks... 

 Let me share a few with you...

 

I've embarked on something(s) that may be charming or simply a "nice idea."




We stitched a bit with friends...




Discovered this dress on a trip with one of those friends...
What does it remind you of? ;)





Roses are blooming... How fun it would be to have LOTs of rosebushes...
Maybe next year...





The weather hasn't been the best here, but we got some biking in anyway...



...and wound up at one of our favorite spots...




Trivial pursuit is a favorite of Murray's, Kate's and Mine. Our parents are good sports...  At the time this picture was taken, Murray (blue) and tied with Mom (pink). She won, but it was really close!




Just in case you'd forgotten, we live in a gorgeous place!




Tried something new in the way of egg-making -nearly worked!



As things are still a bit in the catching up stage, I thought I'd include a snap of Molly, taken by Kate and discovered by me on my camera...




Giving Thanks - just before a big trip, while waiting at a light, a kind motorist brought this to my attention...

Thankfully, it turned out to be an unimportant filter of some kind. The garage Dad likes fixed it fast and free of charge!!! :D



Murray and Kate have a "business" selling tasty things to eat. I'm generally their chauffeur... They have fun and I have fun (if I could only figure out how to read a pattern).






On a whim, I decided to embark on a short-ish (but more strenuous than I'd biked before) trip with friends.
We (Dad, Murray, Kate and I) drove the course the day before as a test run, admiring the views. *


 *Nota Bene - I'd agreed to go 16mi, and ended up choosing to travel 4mi beyond! Could be the start of big things... 20mi is 1/3 of 60mi, after all... ;)

 On Our Next Post - What Are The Löwenherz Up To?

Let's Try This Again!



We are still alive! Breathing and having such fun! Thought I’d give you all a little glimpse as to what we’ve all been up to…

Two years...  Two very, very full years...

 There have been special days...
















...busy days...





...creative days...











....fun days...






...and restful days... 







...but most importantly, one day towards the end of 2011, this gentlemen arrived on the scene...


 Richard is Captain America, Richard the Lion Hearted and Rachmaninoff all rolled into one...



...he was on a quest for her heart... 


...he captured her...


There was much rejoicing and preparation.... 







...and on the 8th of September, 2012, Mia became Mrs. Richard Löwenherz









  
 



 

We see them sometimes... 







They now live in their own little place several hours away in a land of mountains, rivers and valleys much like here, but very different and marvelous in its own way.












...and have crafted a sweet little home... 




...but that is not all...

...New Years Day, they should be welcoming a sweet little baby! YAY!!!



 On more ordinary notes, we in our present little valley are having a grand time with many new ventures...
