If anyone ever tells you that moving to a rural area will be relaxing, I encourage you to look them in the eye and tell them that they do not know what they are talking about. Seriously, they have no idea. Life is so full in the country, that there aren’t enough hours in the …
When we moved to where we built the cabin, the most difficult part about leaving “home”, was leaving my parents. They were close enough to be to their house in about 30 minutes, so if they needed us, we could be there. Leaving the state where my children and grandchildren live was difficult of course, …
The plan for how we were going to go about building a cabin took much thought. We were over a year into the covid nonsense, life was surreal at the least, and the cost of necessary building materials such as lumber was sky high. For people who have a limitless budget, maybe that’s not a …

It’s been a month since I have bothered to log in. This entire blog is about celebrating life, finding things to be positive about and being joyful in our lives. Since I haven’t been feeling that way, I have just not had the heart to come here and be depressing, or pretend to feel something …
I passed by the calendar earlier and had to stare at it a moment. The month has been so crazy, that I am pretty sure I blocked most of it out. Maybe it’s a form of denial. This entire year has been like something out of a bad combination of a horror show with moments …
