A New House
If I (and we) had the luxury of blogging full time, we might have began this blog almost a year ago, when we started looking for a new home.

I think we were too caught up in the looking, and research and just the work of buying that we didn’t even stop to think about recording the entire process.

This hub is a Network and you can build one for your own house very easily

Build in 1908, its over 100 years old, meaning it predates a lot of the niceties that we enjoyed back in the downtown Loft. Most notably, for my purposes, we the lack of proper internet. Let’s be clear: this house DOES predate electricity.

Christmas Chill
This is a strange disc I picked up some years ago at, believe it or not, a Wal-Mart. I’m not a Wal-Mart shopper; I prefer the mom and pop shops, the non-GMO foods and maybe some lighting that doesn’t want to make you tear your eyes out. But for some reason, I found this gem.
