The dawn of a new age

Oh, there is so much to catch up on!  I was away for a four-day weekend at the shore, which was very nice as it always is, and now I am sitting here looking at laundry, an empty refrigerator, and a handful of projects that needed to be done “yesterday.”  I suppose that is the […]

New Hope is just the kind of tourist-trap town Neil (along with the little men we live with) don’t particularly care […]

Wrapped up

Thank you, if you commented on my last post, emailed me, or posted on Facebook.  It meant a lot to me.
