Wow! It’s been so long I don’t even know where to start. I’ve got a few posts I’d like to get to, but I will just give a quick update first. In the past couple of months the following things have happened: I returned to work and am adjusting to my…

Way back in June when we had the town-wide yard sales here in Exeter, I spent the morning cruising around on my bike looking for steals. Aaron was kind enough to man our yard sale and watch Myles so I could concentrate on what I was looking for. I…
