Friday 1/15/16 We are definitely operating in “Low Key” Key West style today. Kyleigh had an allergic reaction to something she ate last night. We can only narrow it down to chipotle peppers that were in a new salsa we tried. She broke out with a raised itchy rash on her face. She is asleep […]
Thursday 1/14/16 Rain drops rolled from my tent onto my head as I emerged from my night time cocoon into the late morning. Extended sleep is something that I seldom take the pleasure of indulging in. This morning was different, I think I actually slept about 9 ½ hours…I guess that’s a sign that I […]
Wednesday 1/12/16 Today was our first full day in Key West. We woke up to 18 mile hour winds. The overall temperature is not cold, but I wouldn’t call it warm either. The internet was out throughout Stock island due to a Comcast issue so we decided to scope out the public library. This was […]

We unpacked every last bag, bike and kayak and then meticulously repacked it all like fitting together pieces of a jigsaw […]
Today is the last day of the first semester of school for my girls. Missed assignments, and makeup work from extended time away with family emergencies was finally due. Even though the girls do school work every day, this week was definitely cram week. Papers, notebooks, magic markers, laptops and tangled power cords stretched from […]
As each of my kids begin to express an interest in an area, I try my best to gather the tools and supplies needed to put in their hands to see what comes of it. Sometimes it may be a passing phase, or could turn into a career for them. Computers, musical instruments, paints, brushes, […]
We drove to Virginia the Saturday before Thanksgiving, expecting to stay only one week, but as life would take its twists, turns, peaks and valleys, I ended up staying an additional week. Sean was asked to sing and play mandolin for a friend’s wedding on Sunday. So we spent a couple days in the mountains. […]
