So very much to do and so little time to do it. I was told over the weekend that the 'kids' buying our house will be able to close this week. All I am asking from them is $5,000 down and $500 a month on our land contract. They came over to talk with us, and we had a good time. After they left, Lisa... Sign in to see full entry.

A Suicide on Mackinaw Island
I know that Corbin has been to the Big Island, and I think I've read a few others have mentioned they have been there as well. Apparently a local man (what a play on words... wow!) jumped off 'Arch Rock' on the island in a deliberate act to end his life. More information can be found here. He left a...

Welllll. I sat down to write an entry here, but the storm passing overhead is getting quite loud. We lost power several times last night, and I suspect that we are on our way toward losing it again. With that in mind, I am going to shut down to keep my main computer safe, leaving you with two... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sure that if you coax Lisa on, she'll tell you far too much information. ( That's my girl! I love ya! lol ) We... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello again. Sorry about the little mini-vacation, but we decided that everything could simmer a few days while we celebrated our.... mmm... how to say? Well, we celebrated being with one another. We walked, talked, and worked together, and we enjoyed it. I think I am very close to buying a house in... Sign in to see full entry.

There's only one way to describe what is happening outside, and that is in this song. From a high of 82 yesterday to pushing 5 today.

I don't know why, but I woke up early this morning. Lisa is still sleeping, but I suspect that the dogs won't allow that to continue much longer. We don't have any reason to be up at the buttcrack of the day, so we normally get up around 8:30 AM and go to sleep about 1 AM. Lisa volunteers at the... Sign in to see full entry.
