The 48-Point Turn

Kidding, but not really. How many times did I shift into reverse??? I honestly lost track. We have moved into Old Mountain Campground and are very excited about living at the base of the mountain with access to hiking trails directly from the campground.

Back “Home” to TN

We left the farm on February 4th and I already miss it. Well, not the mosquitos, but I was able to spend some quality time chatting with Aunt Lynn and then whatever Uncle Harry and Uncle Jim were up to that day. I’ll miss that for sure. Greg also got to spend some quality time…

Our Temporary TN Home

The house was sold, furniture gone, and we now had dates to book a place in Tennessee to stay for some unknown period of time. It wasn’t simple to search and call around when we didn’t have dates to arrive or leave, so we left that until the last moment. Looking through the options, it…
