The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

October 17, 2011

Fall is here, and the days are definitely shorter, but still jam packed with things to do. We are looking forward to pumpkin farms, hayrides, and treat-or-treating in the weeks to come.

It is also getting closer to November 15, which is when we are required to have our raingarden installed by for the county. So Keith was busy working on getting that done last week. Now we have a nice assortment of river birch, sweetshrub, holly and several grasses. As you can see, the kids also enjoyed helping and playing outside.

Inside the house, we are finally have our furniture all in place, and we can sit on something other than beanbags while watching TV (although the kids seem to still prefer the beanbags!)

We are also trying to get our refrigerator squared away. VERY LONG story made short, our third refrigerator will be delivered tomorrow. Fingers crossed that will be the last one delivered her for 20 years.

I have also started assembling my "kitchy kitchen" items. I have always loved vintage kitchen stuff, so I have placed some antique, beat-up items in the space above the pantries.

And lastly, but NOT leastly...we got an offer on our old house this week. We put it on Craigslist on Monday and on Tuesday a family came to see it. After one more visit, they made an offer on Saturday. Providing everything looks okay to our lawyer, we hope to move forward with it and get it sold.
