Next Saturday …
will find us here. =) This is a new cabin for us – the cabin we’ve stayed in for the past 5 years is undergoing some construction so we had to scramble to find somewhere else to stay. It’s apparently very rustic. But, ya know, that’s a good thing. And, seriously. With this location, who… Read more

Still alive
Whoa. I never want to get food poisoning again. And that’s a massive understatement. Bad, bad news. I am still alive, but feel as though I’ve just come out of a war zone. I hope to be back to a normal schedule tomorrow. Read more

A forgotten weekend
Our weekend started out wonderfully – I scrapped on Friday and figured we had the whole weekend to work in the flower beds and scrap and just have a quiet weekend at home. But then I got sick. And again and again and again. Ugh. I never throw up. Hardly ever. I don’t know if… Read more
