  • Resolutioner

    I guess I am a week late in getting this post up, but trust me I was in no shape to do it on New Year’s day…to much ‘reveling’.  So here are my new year’s resolutions, albeit I am already a week behind on living up to them: Get back into the swing of things…

  • My next truck

    I am seriously intrigued…and its a diesel! I wonder if it can pull a horse trailer?

  • Fall garden update

    I know, we’re halfway through fall, but I’ve been a bit busy so haven’t gotten around to my fall garden update.  This year, I made a number of changes to my garden plan and now that we’ve had our first frost and most things have died back, I thought it would be a good time…

  • Trip planning update

    So after some feedback from my readers, a few decisions have been made on our European trip for next Summer.  First, we will be going in the first few weeks of June.  Second, I got a lot of feedback that it’s an easy trap to fall into to over schedule and try to go to…

  • Planning ahead – request for ideas!

    Been a bit light here again.  Summer has just been too much fun.  Between volleyball clinics, shooting 2-3 times a week, karate, vacation, concerts and too many BBQ’s to count I just haven’t really had time to update the old blog.  This I thought was blog worthy though (plus it’s like 106 outside so I…
