We’ve decided on the Wooden Boat Festival in September for our wedding this year! We agreed that it will be just immediate family; I’m always shocked at the way a guest list can get out of hand so quickly. You invite one person, then there’s the next, …

Whew – busy month. Headed down to California a few weeks ago for Brock’s birthday. Redwoods, Palm Springs, San Diego. We came back up through Sonora, Angels Camp & Calaveras County ~ absolutely gorgeous places neither of us had been before. It was…

It started with a fantastic view from our room in Lake Chelan. It included wildlife as we went driving on some backroads (pheasant, deer, quail, etc).It had some top open warm weather.And it ended with us coming home and filling the new hot tub. It’s h…

Work continues into the night. Brock is skimming and sanding the final coats of glass. He’s driven to get this project done, which is a really great thing. And I must give credit to Home Depot for paying attention to that crazy thing called the blogosp…

Work continues on the tub and the rest of the boat is getting a bit messy. Despite my efforts, sawdust continues to accumulate along with debris. I’m going up for another round of Cleanup now, which sounds like a really easy job until you actually do i…

My job is still Cleanup Girl. Plus I’ve added on the job of running cache. There’s nothing like a well-organized bunch of materials to help make a job go smoother. It was always one of my favorite roles in Search and Rescue as well, because I think it’…

Nope, it’s not a small project. Definitely not a one weekend kind of thing. But progress is being made. This was still early this morning, so there’s been a bit done since then. But between cooking and cleaning up and fetching tools, I haven’t had a ch…
