I asked myself, "What happens when no one posts to a blog for three years?" Do people still see the blog? Does it even exist if no one reads, posts or comments? Answer: It lives! But only kinda, sorta. Like a soul not ready to transition, the blog sits in the internet wilderness, waiting to… Continue reading The Neglected Blog

The Last Stroller
We ended 2017 with a new home improvement project that required the purging of extra items and furniture. We have only been in this house 2 years and we got rid of a lot of stuff when we left North Carolina (some by choice, some not so much; they literally ran out of room on… Continue reading The Last Stroller

They bicker constantly, nag, wrestle. They are sick of each other and I am sick of them. And, of… Continue reading Getting Started
