Chinese, Linus, and Scrooge

We have been at home at Tween Creeks for ten weeks but this morning we are transitioning to at home in the T@B. We have spent the last few days tying up loose ends and surveying each room several times to make sure we have remembered everything we will need to keep us...

Well this post is incredibly overdue. We should have introduced Redford, our new family member in the last days of October when he took on the responsibility as our tow vehicle and sole transportation. Blame it on Amanda who introduced us to Big Red Truck, lovingly...

Today presented us with one of those rare excuses to get out of the house, to stop by the recycling center with our refuse, to fuel our truck for the first time in two months at $1.589/gallon - when's the last time we saw that price? And especially to pick up our...
