Initially I wanted to put the … Continue reading “Solar Panel Prep – 3/19/2017”

We made it to Kansas City to have Christmas with my parents. When we got there, my mom was in the middle of painting the hallway. She had much of it taped, but other stuff got in the way. I knew it wouldn’t get done before Christmas, so Danelle and I stepped up. We finished … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/24/2017”
