Well, lookie lookie - even I haven't looked in forever - I think I will start again. Things I will talk about before too long: diabetic life (subsided to normal), Appalachian Teen Trekkers, homesteading, decisions, life in Glade Spring, Konnarock, and on and on. The kids are growing up...

Christmas Holidays

Here's how the Christmas break began... We had exam week which is not exactly the most fun week of them all, but I had finished my exams the week before so it wasn't too bad.

MawMaw, Zoe, Ash, Adia Ashley's masterpiece - the sock horse.  It is really amazing what Ash can do with almost nothing. I just like this, no real reason.  It makes me smile. OK, I started this a week ago - and now I had to go back and redo it because it is now all old news.  And I'm in a rush, so it won't be too detailed.... but last weekend, the 3
