Photo Of The Week - December 31
Happy New Year! A shot of the hustle and bustle at the Indiana State Fair on a balmy summer evening. See the word ‘elephant’ on the right side of the picture? That’s part of a sign that says ‘Elephant Ears’. Before moving to Indiana I had never heard such a term before....

As has become a bit of a tradition with Kate’s family, we opened presents yesterday, on Christmas Eve. Kate was in charge of wrapping a bunch of the presents - and this one, for Hunter, was my personal favorite. Got to use those scraps! And while this is technically Marilyn’s second Christmas,...

Photo Of The Week - December 24
Merry Christmas everyone! From a farmer’s market in Burlington, Vermont during our trip this past July. The contrast of the vibrant red and green colors (how appropriate for Christmas Eve!) paired with the texture of the radishes really caught my eye.

Montreal, Canada
Last July Brett and I traveled to Burlington, VT to visit Brett’s family. We decided that while we were out East we would visit the fabulous city of Montreal. It was at this time - the planning, the traveling, the photos, the entire experience of traveling again - that Brett and I decided to set...

Stack of Books
  I worked from home yesterday for a dentist appointment. Late in the afternoon Kate arrived at the house, arms full of shopping bags. She’d been a very productive Christmas elf running around, managing to squeeze in time for a haircut (very cute, I like it a lot). A few minutes after walking...

Keeping our fingers crossed!
During the last two weeks, I have sent out a LOT of emails responding to posts on work exchange sites, house sittings opportunities and crew wanted classifieds. The first week of research yielded numerous ‘promising’ options. Brett and I discussed the options and picked which ones we were...

Frustration finding crew jobs
Brett has had a dream of traveling the world by sailboat. I have tried to find a way to make this dream come true but have run into a few problems: Problem 1 - We don’t have a lot of experience. (In fact, I have none.) Most boats want deckhands or stewardesses who have experience. All of the paid...
