Arriving in Second Summer

It’s been 6 or 7 years since we visited my sister L, who now lives in Naples, Florida, but with some Delta miles to spend, and with my other sister C and her family (husband K, teenage daughter E, and pre-teen daughter J) planning a Fall trip to Disney World (from Germany), we decided it was…

What’s this… a blog post?!?

Um, yeah, so I see it’s been two years since I posted anything on my poor little blog. I started to write a really passionate post last year around this time, about the upcoming presidential election, but it turned out to be too difficult to put into words, so it’s still a draft. But recently,…

Brewersfest 2013

Last Saturday, after seeing a poster for it while picking up Rye Porter ingredients, we headed up to Cooper’s Lake Campground for the 5th annual Brewersfest, sponsored by Porter House Brew Shop.

Apison – Day 3

They’re making me put my foot up for a while (recovering from a previous sprain), so I’ll write a little about our day so far… We had scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast this morning, along with Psalm 127:1, and got over to Dave and Betty’s house by 8:00. We unloaded all the tools and…

Apison – Day 2

…posting from my phone… still can’t get on my site. Tempted to try to find a coffee shop with WiFi here pretty soon… Last night we decided to get an earlier start to our workday today, to try to beat the brutal heat (it’s been getting to the upper 90’s by mid-afternoon, under a blazing…

Blogging update
