Huh?

So, Papa and I spent most of the past few days in the yard and garden. It took a lot of catching up from our trip. He mowed, I hoed. I pulled weeks, he tilled. We’re almost caught up. Did I tell you I canned some green beans? I also cut a bunch of rhubarb … Read more

Home Again

Papa and I arrived home a couple of days ago, after a tour that included 3 bluegrass festivals, 2 quick stops at home, 3 grandchildren, a couple of rainstorms, and a bunch of fun.

A Little Drive

Papa and I are taking a little drive down the road tomorrow. The littlest most economical car is all packed and ready to roll. The cooler is in the garage, waiting for me to add the last minute “stuff”. We are taking a tent, a cooler, some clothing, and a few other necessities. We’ll be … Read more
