Our new abode

Over the past few weeks we have been unpacking and settlling in to the new townhouse in Tucson. It is located in the northeast part of town which is one of the safer, nicer areas of the city. We are right on the outskirts of the city and fortunately the land is located in a relative "oasis." There are lots of trees, shrubs, and grass which is hard to find in the desert! This is why the animals like it so much in our backyard.

We were fortunate enough to have Ruth and Win who helped us transport most of our belongings across the country, but since our new place is much bigger and we couldnt bring all our furniture we did lots of shopping on Craig's list which I totally became addicted to. I love Craig's List!!

Outside cat, Theodore

Yesterday Randy was working on the window treatment hardware and noticed a bobcat the size of a small dog in our yard. Apparently he had been sleeping near our neighbors porch and was startled by a lawn mower. From what I found on the internet they are common on the outskirts of cities and near yards like ours where there are lots of resources ie. birds, water, rabbits, squirrels.

Our first blog

So here it goes... our first blog entry. We got the idea from our friends Katie and Kailas who started a blog when they were pregnant with their first daughter, Denali. We found that it was a good way to keep in touch with them even when they were busy or away. So in an effort to "keep up with the Narenderan's" we started a blog too =)

Through this blog we hope to offer you updates on our new life in Tucson, musings, photos, and maybe even a few of Randy's editorials on the world at large. Hope you enjoy The Grant Slant.
