Kathy and I headed to Smicksburg at about 9am, full tank of gas, a snack lunch, and a list! We stopped at a fleatique in Blairsville and walked through quickly but no Beanie Baby Skunks. I’ll keep looking. It’s the…

Autmn woke me at a little before 7am – she was dropping off the car seat and wanted me to know what time. So I read until she got here, heard the song of the day (a very early version…

The plan for today was that Autmn would drop Cameron off at a little before 10:30am on her way to work – and Scott or Katrina would get him from 3pm to 8:30pm. Well, Scott got pretty sick and couldn’t…

It’s been a quiet day – quiet at work, quiet at Gabe’s (I popped in for a few minutes but didn’t find anything exciting!), quiet at home, quiet outside – except for my neighbor performing his daily grass-cutting ritual. Glad…

I woke up at 2:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I can ALMOST keep my eyes the whole way open! I stayed busy all day so I wouldn’t fall asleep. Work was very busy and I didn’t get out…
