VIrginia's 40th Birthday

I finally found some time to organize the pictures from Virginia's surprise party, so this post comes a few months after the actual event. The party was difficult to plan because I really wanted it to take place in the new house but I wasn't sure if the house would be finished. Plus, I needed to give people as much advance notice as possible. Even still, a good number of people were not able to attend. As it turns out, the house wasn't quite done but it was close enough to have a party in. Of course, it was still a construction zone so a little cleanup was in order (okay, a LOT of cleanup was in order).

Solar Panel Saga Ends

It's been over a month since my last post and I finally have something significant to report.  After all kinds of paperwork problems and a 5-month delay, the photovoltaic (PV) system was finally installed!  Although we are heading into the shortest days of the year, the weather was spectacular for the installation.  After two days of work, the system went live and we were generating electricity!
