Lover mentioned something about Eggs Benedict on Friday afternoon, and it was then and there decided that would be the meal in the morning! He ran out Friday night to get the groceries he needed, and he got right to work in the morning! The kids scarfed down some cereal and then were hard at […]

Friday was Lucy’s birthday! It was so fun to be able to celebrate with them. We spent the morning working – I worked on recaps and Lover worked on paycheck making stuff, and the kids all played together. The McGinns have this bubble machine that was a huge hit! Then after we had all finished

We wanted to take the Mowerys out for lunch to thank them for being such hospitable hosts while we were in town. So we asked them where they would like to go, and they decided on BBQ. Seemed fitting for a week in Tennessee, so we said, A-Okay! The girls wanted their nails painted in

I’ve been exceptionally tired here in TN, and finally figured out that my asthma has been flaring up! I started treating it with my usual cocktail – allergy medicine, coffee and my inhaler. Hopefully I’ll get some relief soon, but in the meantime, I’m enjoying drinking coffee! I don’t usually drink anything caffeinated anymore, so

Betsy had all kinds of ideas of things we could do with the kids during the day. Today we decided to go to the library and read books for a while, and then just outside the library is a fun little creek, great for cooling off! I would have gone in too with the kids,

We stayed the night in Wooster, Ohio, which is super rural part of Ohio. That said, are there many non-rural parts of Ohio? We found a little church that was doing in-person services, and got there quite late due to the kids being crazy hungry for breakfast. Also, on our way there, we passed a

We had originally intended to stay through the weekend in Rochester, but between housing and Lover’s sleep apnea, it wasn’t going to be possible. So we spent Saturday morning packing up and cleaning Anna’s house (it wasn’t too bad though!) while the kids played with their grandparents for a couple more hours. The three older

Friday was our last full day in Rochester, and Lover and I visited with his parents and hung out at Anna’s in the morning. Then after my friend Colleen finished up her work day, I headed over to see her and we snuck in one last visit while she baked pies. She’s a phenomenal baker,

Thursday morning we met up with our longtime friends Len & Marianne Harris to spend the day with them. Len & Marianne were my second grade Sunday school teachers (I called them Mr and Mrs Harris back then!) and then Lover and I worked with them for about six years in New York before we
