Travels and Vagabonds
Quick decisions and fast-driving were the name of the game to make the call to get to PA for Crabtree Fireworks.

The Farm
During the standard-mandatory-enforced-timeoff of work-time, I headed home for some good old family fun. Playing at home is always a fun time and includes lots of mischief and Robber-Barron activities. Here’s a list of some of the things I was able to document during this time: Continue reading “Christmas around the Farm (& some Thanksgiving pictures)”
