Today was Chris's wedding dinner, the private gathering with close family and just a few friends. 😊 I was exhausted pretty much the whole day and not in an emotional space to want to be anywhere near a big social gathering, especially the gathering where I wouldn't know over 90% of the people there. But, … Continue reading 2023-09-18 — Wedding Dinner

It was only 2 days ago, but I can't really remember much of anything. It's the 19th today, and I'm just trying to remember what happened on Sunday, and I've got nothing. 🙃 Let's see, I woke up, and I think I spent a while trying to get my photos transferred over from my phone … Continue reading 2023-09-17 — SkyJo Kids

Let's see, Saturday... What did I do on Saturday? Breakfast was fantastic waffles with about 80 trillion different topping options with my brother Jared. He's got this handy dandy waffle maker that pivots like a spit and cooks waffles on both sides at the same time-- big big fluffy behemoth waffles. So good. 🤤 Hmmm... … Continue reading 2023-09-16 — Foodie

It was another tax day today, once again spending most of my day gathering information for my accountant, and answering questions. I didn't do much else. Of course, first I woke up from my little spot by the creek, and then I climbed the hill back to Jared's. Then it was time for taxes. All … Continue reading 2023-09-15 — Tax Me Twice

Bet you can't guess what I spent pretty much the entire day doing today. 😅 Having spent a full day in Utah, I was already feeling really low emotionally. Struggling to function on a useful level but needing to get my taxes taken care of. I begged my last accountant to please come back and … Continue reading 2023-09-14 — Tax Me Once

(written on Sept. 18th) After a relatively decent night's sleep in Grand Junction, we crossed into Utah pretty quickly, taking the route through Green River and then Price and then Spanish Fork canyon, and on up to my brother Jared's new house in Highland. We're likely going to be in Utah for about 2 weeks, … Continue reading 2023-09-13 — Welcome Back to Utah

Yep... we got the heck out of Dodge. And there wasn't really much to see in Dodge anyway. There was maybe one little museum? And boot hill cemetery? Something like that. But nothing that really caught our attention. So, we settled for having Walmart flip my driver's front tire around, so that the part of … Continue reading 2023-09-12 — The Scenic Route

Today was a whirlwind of running around and around and around trying to button everything up and make the home front look halfway decent for our October return. I spent hours cleaning up an organizing the garage, cleaning up an organizing the driveway, moving equipment and vehicles to where they would spend the next month … Continue reading 2023-09-11 — Day 1. Welcome to Dodge

Sunday was a bit of a frantic day, as we were hoping to Get out and be on the road. I spent several hours trying to figure out ways of packing all the books that we were taking with us into bins That would be stackable. Even though the van has a pretty significant cubic … Continue reading 2023-09-10 — False Start

It's all a blur. I don't really have any event markers to go back and remember the days with like I would while I'm on vacation traveling from place to place. That's one of the reasons why I like vacations. 🙃 It's pretty easy to go back and remember. Anyway, without remembering specific things that … Continue reading 2023-09-09 — All Thumbs
