Ordinary Stuff

When we are in our normal routine, just doing regular daily things, I have a hard time coming up with interesting blog posts. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE routine! It makes me happy. It just doesn't seem like you really want to know that I cooked meals, ate, washed dishes, did laundry, home schooled the kids, cleaned the house, planned meals, went to the grocery store, etc.

However, I also don't want you to forget about us down here! I am going to *try* to do better about posting about whatever is going on. So here is your fair warning. I'm going to just post about ordinary, daily life around here. Who knows, maybe you'll find something interesting in these mundane tasks, and perhaps every once in a while something exciting will happen along the way!

Today I present for you...
                         ...the parking garage of our grocery store.
This picture is looking back up toward the entrance. You have no idea how many times I have wanted to push the motorcycle at the top and watch them all fall over like dominoes!

What's that? Your grocery store doesn't have a parking garage? Here in Rondônia it's very nice because your car would be an inferno if it sat in the sun for an hour while you are in the store, so this is a nice perk. Another plus...you can get your groceries in your car during a tropical downpour and stay dry!

I am grateful that we have a grocery store (even air-conditioned) available to us. It doesn't always have everything I want, but it is definitely sufficient. Especially since I'm not really a "live off the land" kind of girl.

  1. I love reading about your lives. I feel like I am keeping in touch and knowing what is going on. But seeing as mostly I get them by email, I forget to comment so you know someone is enjoying your posts even if they are about the mundane. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Amanda, I do enjoy hearing the mundane ~ it's definitely not mundane to me :)
    We barely have a parking lot at our tiny grocery store, much less a parking garage!
