Welcome to my weekly update for November 21, 2021! My husband is on call at the hospital over Thanksgiving weekend but he had three days off this weekend so we came home to Asheville to visit family for a few days. We’ve missed seeing most of the fall color on the trees but the skies […]

Welcome to my weekly update for October 24, 2021! The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind of packing, unpacking, packing again, and seeing all our friends and family that we’ve basically just relaxed around our camper as much as we could this past week.
