TGIF and SASV

Some short attention span verbosity to start the weekend… – We got our reservation confirmation for our late summer vacation at the Jersey Cape! We had to skip it last year, so we’re both more than ready to go back. It’s still several months away, but it’s nice knowing the reservation has been made. – [...]

Ok, I’m finally getting around to doing an entry about last weekend’s visit to the homestead. As you know, we’re only able to get up there about once a week now due to our work schedules. Last weekend’s visit was relatively quick, as both of us have been pretty worn out lately. My goal for [...]
