It has been almost ten years since I have posted, life has continued forward and things fell thru cracks, and in those cracks, flowers grew. Recently and unexpectedly, I found this old blog and my access to it and I HAD to bring it back to life. So much has happened and I cannot wait … Read more
It was just shy of two years that we lived in our micro cargo trailer. One year and Ten months. We put so much love, sweat, and tears into it – it was a true labor of love. In a sense, it was our first baby. We were living on Ben’s boss’ property at the … Read more
