So, as I mentioned in the previous post, Abby and I checked out a local farm today for some fresh delights. Introducing Klein Farms. Whoops.. that’s my Jeep again. Silly me (LOL). Well, you can see some farm stuff in the background. Anyway, they got cheeses and milk products, and veggies and you know, the [...]
Abby and I recently took a vacation to Kentucky mostly to see her family and we stayed at her sister Katie and family’s home in Berea. Katie had helped push legislation through her town changing a law prohibiting owning chickens in town. Naturally she ended up getting some of her own after the year campaign [...]
Finally, a beautiful, warm day! I was anticipating this 80 degree temperature for over a week and I’m thrilled we were actually able to take advantage of it. Part of our yard was left bare after a landscaping project that was started last summer, so today Josh and I turned the soil, raked it smooth, [...]
After a dismal first week of (trout) fishing in the area I headed back out early on a sunny Saturday morning. I brought along an old bucket full of water in hopes of stocking our own stream in our backyard. Hopes weren’t high, but I was still hoping to catch at least one, and catch [...]
Most of our readers (who are also our family and friends) know that Josh and I have been looking for a dog for the past few weeks. We visited local shelters and looked online, and finally Josh found just the guy we were looking for. We hadn’t planned on bringing him home on Saturday when [...]

This was my first Halloween living in our small town and I had no idea how many kids would show up! Jackson and I handed out candy for an hour until we finally ran out. He was very patient letting all the kids pet him and I heard tons of requests for bunnies as families [...]
Lately Josh and I have been bringing Jackson outside to enjoy these last few weeks of summer. He used to be pretty scared of all that open space, but he’s starting to like all the good traction he gets on the grass (compared to our slick floors) and now hops around happily. Sometimes I feel [...]
After some time in the city, we headed north to Cairns. We noticed right off the bat that people were much friendlier, which is probably true in any part of the world, when you compare country people and city people. To me, lots of things about this part of Australia were different, yet the same. [...]
We had a long honeymoon and took over 2000 photos, so I’m finding it hard to know where to start! At one point, I bought a small, square journal and starting writing every few days and though Josh teased me about it, now I’m so happy I did! Our honeymoon began in Sydney, after a [...]
This Easter Sunday, Josh and I weren’t thinking about ham, we wanted fish. Saturday was the first day of Trout season, and we were ready, licenses in hand (well, actually, tagged to shirts). We picked up some worms and set out to the local creek. Josh had waders but I just sat on the bank, [...]
