Well, Wattsalpoag, our board game company, is doing -- or has done -- several trade shows and/or conventions this year. Things have unfortunately needed to change slightly from the plans we had a couple of months ago.

It's now only 6 days until my Hun' returns from Africa and I am so beyond being ready for that to happen! The house just feels like a box without her. I also never realized how big and empty our bed could feel ( Read more... )
