Still Here...

I know, it's been awhile since I have posted any of the happenings on the Richert Ranch.  

Things are happening so quickly around here, I can hardly catch my breath.  School is wrapping up (only two weeks left!), summer is just around the corner, and travel adventures with much anticipated visitors are about to commence.

I also have much to share about what we have been up to the last few weeks (San Pablo updates, graduation ceremonies, our first Spanish church service) and will get those adventures posted a.s.a.p.  

Right now, I am just trying to survive the end of the year (those of you who teach middle school know how the brain tends to go into meltdown at about this point--for students and teachers) and just wanted to let you know that we are still living the good life.

More to come soon...

We're Moving...

To celebrate the big transition to Vietnam, we at the Richert Ranch have decided to relocate webwise as well. It seems time for fresh starts all around. We hope you join us .

Beach Shmeach

(Seriously?  Speedos?  Why are people letting their friends leave the house in those?)   Yes, the ocean is beautiful.  And big.  And just a little frightening with all those crashing waves that pull you under water and provide that "I've just been tossed into a washing machine during the speed cycle" feeling. Besides that, I tend to burn.  And then freckle.  Not good. I can't help it...I wasn't born to be enchanted by the swaying palm trees and shimmering sunsets.  I mean, I'm from Idaho .  Give me the mountains anyday. And this is why Dave and I headed to Vilcabamba, Ecuador for Semana Santa, instead of following the rest of Ecuador to the coast.  T...

What in the....?

I know...it has been months (months!! How did that happen?!). I can tell you how it happened... * swine flu paranoia in Ecuador * whirlwind tours of the USA from D.C. to California * a swimming sensation that is six years old, and the Transformer's expert * a beautiful 11 month old that fell in love with her uncle * bbq's galore * weekends away with the greatest of friends * new bikes (Oh, Isis...I miss you already) * let's be honest....Target, Costco, and the Patagonia outlet contributed to the silence * 14 hour road trips * napkin making * concerts that had to be attended (I really do love you Josh Ritter. Really) * books to purchase and read * and, of course, all that repacking * which only leads to all that unpacking It's been a busy two and half months kids.
