A couple years ago, we purchased a hard-sided pop-up camper. It made camping so much more comfortable: no sleeping on an air mattress, no cooking in the rain…you get the idea. Some of us are getting old and like creature comforts, like heat and not having to trudge through the darkness to use the bathroom, […]

Pop, goes the toe!
If you’re at all squeamish, you may want to skip this post. Throughout my life, I’ve had my fair share of injuries (perhaps more than my share). Everything from concussions to sprains to broken bones to pinches nerves. You name it, I’ve probably experienced it. The one exception was a dislocation…until Friday past. Somehow, whilst […]
Face Lift
It’s been a while since this blog was established and since the design was implemented. Perhaps the initiation of a new page design will help to encourage me to make posts on a more regular basis. Also note, the header image is the view from our mountain property. Enjoy!
2015 in Review

That’s right folks, it snowed in the […]

The Big 0-4
We officially have a four year old! The birthday morning began by surprising Logan with streamers hanging from his bedroom doorway. He was a bit confused at first but quickly decided he LOVES them and thinks all of the doorways in the house should have streamers. That was then followed by breakfast at a local […]
Santa Train
Last year we rode the Santa Train up in Georgetown after Christmas, this year we decided to go before. There was less snow on the ground this year, but that also meant it wasn’t as cold, either. Still, we were able to enjoy the lights, cookies & hot chocolate. Logan even got a bell, a […]
