I promised to give you an update on the family. The best way to do that is to do it one by one. But let’s first start with the large group. The family birthday party in November was the largest one we had. This year we had Earl’s sons and daughters-in-law’s join us. My daughter … More The Family

There are some days in your life that you will never forget. Every minute of that day will be imprinted in my brain for as long as I can remember. The day started off at the cottage with the Warrior Ladies. We had a big day ahead of us. There was going to be a … More August 27th, 2022
How did we spend the Summer? Why building of course. The back deck had lived a long life and was now dying of old age and it needed to go. Since we had already built the deck that covered the whole front of the house and then added the enclosed porch, it was time to … More The Decks and Siding are Completed
Spring started off in the normal way, with a list of projects. While the weather in early Spring was still balancing off between wet and cool, Husband put in new floors in the Warrior’s Cottage. He worked steadily for several weekends to get it accomplished before they arrived. His work efforts paid off as he … More Spring 2022
