OUR JOURNEY
“This is our journey, this is you, this is me, this is we, this is us, this is life, this is ecstasy and woe, this is our energetic dance through layers of matter and space, this is our return to love.”
~ Rachel Elizabeth Schaf

The Resilience Waltz
It is a bit of a waltz, or one step forward and two steps back! We’ll keep on dancing, we’ll continue to appreciate the journey, we’ll honor how far we’ve come, and we’ll arrive wherever our destiny takes us. I just love surprises!
Custom Vanity Cabinets
I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to have a husband who is so skilled with his hands; all I have to do is think up a design and he creates it!
Feeling Crafty
It is a little piece of our history that, we hope, will be preserved forever.
Our Future Winery
It was the craziest thing! We were both astounded by the number of Katydids that were sitting ALL OVER the building, both inside and out! We must have seen a hundred or more of them!
Labor of Love
Friday before Labor Day weekend we headed back to Tennessee with a loaded trailer in tow.
April Showers of Blessing
Special thanks to our good neighbor Jay Carbutt and his helper, Jack, who made the trek down from Pennsylvania to complete the installation of the Mini Splits! I am ecstatic to say we now have heating and air conditioning, WOOT!
The Art of Being Alive
We pray for speedy recovery, we “roll with the punches”, and we continue to see life as beautiful regardless of our circumstances…this is the art of living.
Crew of two, we get $h!t done!
Moving over 70 tons of concrete, gravel, and dirt, we formed and poured the 24x40 concrete pad where our future garage/winery will sit. We also dug and poured a footer in front of the house where we will be extending the porch. Let me just say, laying concrete is not woman’s work, at least not me, and I have the utmost respect for those who do it every day for a living (I had to look up the stats: 2.9% of all concrete workers in the US are women, while 97.1% are men).
A Few Steps Closer
As we head into the month of July, we are counting our blessings! So grateful for traveling mercies this week, for helping hands, for shared memories, and for the accomplished work. While we know the road ahead is long and we have so much more to do, it sure is a pleasure to look back at how far we have come!
