it’s not our fault…we did all we could

OK….so here’s the deal. While trying to make a bad situation better, I broke the part on the car that made things bad….and in the end, only made things terrible. Of course, “terrible” is relative. “Terrible” is really when the … Continue reading

lake people

We rode our bikes around one side of the lake yesterday. The minivan is down for a while….so taking all 6 of us in one vehicle is pretty impossible….so we took two vehicles loaded with people and bicycles….and went to … Continue reading
