Lisa and I will be biking again today — for only the second time this year, sadly! We biked around Waughop Lake earlier this year, but haven’t been able to do it on her one day off a week, so I have been walking instead. I’ve run up some impressive walking numbers as

My old yard sign is showing its age, so I ordered a new, fun one. I really love it. It will be here in the next few days. The old sign wasn’t fun/funny. It was strictly informational, and some of the information is wrong now. It’s a lot more faded than this image shows,

BOOKCASE MAKEOVER The top of my hand-me-down bookcase got water-damaged and looked like this three days ago… This is how it looks now after the extreme makeover I gave it… MOVED A FRIEND
