Shhhhh… Please, please don’t read this!

Jo’s been working too hard, so I sent her to bed early with some really good cough syrup. I’m not supposed to be on the computer, but she forgot to shut it off.

Traveler reports from Alpine Shop

Traveler goes where the people are. On the first weekend of March, the people were at Alpine Shop in Kirkwood for their canoe and kayak sale. We were invited to come and set up a table for the weekend by Alpine Shop staff, and so Jo took “the kids” –aka Trav and Rascal– and set [...]
