Sad and Weary
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those soldiers murdered by a cowardly suicide bomber. Keep fighting the good fight over there, guys.

You choo-choo-choose me?
I finally got my train up and running, after years of sitting in a broken-down box, season after season tucked away in an attic. I tried to get it working a couple of weeks ago. There engine would run, but the gears wouldn’t turn, so I dropped it off at a local train store to…

But I Don’t Want To Be A Pirate!
This past Saturday, we took a day trip up to our old stomping grounds, Washington DC. We have gone down to see the National Christmas Tree for the last seven years, and we didn’t want to break that streak. While we were up there, we also checked out our favorite museum at the Smithsonian, the…
