Posted on July 8, 2009 by teejtc

For however much I’m not ready for the biking portion of Ragbrai… I’ve pulled out my tent and started packing. In about a week and a half, this will be home sweet home: Tiny? yep. But big enough, especially since … Continue reading →

SO not ready, but still excited!

Posted on June 15, 2009 by teejtc

Usually cacophony takes hold in our household when the UPS guy shows up. We love our UPS guy; Carina (our dog) loves him even more. He always brings her half a dog treat (he carefully breaks them in half for … Continue reading →
