So, good and bad weekend. Bad part was that Thomas came home from work sick on Friday morning and was sick most of the weekend :( Which in addition to being Mother's Day was also our anniversary ( Read more... )

So, the NWS confirmed what I already knew -- Wednesday morning, we were hit by a tornado ( Read more... )

Had probably one of the better wars in the past few years -- it was actually relaxing! LOL. That never happens ( Read more... )

So, Chance is now five . My little baby is all grown up. We did quite the production for his birthday -- some intentional and some not.

Hunters Moon, a multi-household camping event we have had for the past five Octobers, was fun in a much more laid back way this year than in the past. Sadly, Izzie's farm is sold, so we had to move locations. Happily, the new location is also nice (a bit rocky) and just outside Murfreesboro instead of more than an hour away in Lynchburg. So, that ( Read more... )
