Quick Update
We are moved but not completely unpacked. Hoping to have everything done by the end of the week. My internet access will not be hooked up until later tomorrow afternoon/evening, so I will probably not do a real post until then. (Or even Thursday.) It's easy to do quick updates from the app on my… Continue reading Quick Update
