It’s fall here in the Shed, the weather is turning cool and I’m loving it – especially just getting outside a bit more. I’ve been trying to take a short morning walk everyday after getting up (before looking at my phone) and it’s been really…
Back from a nice weekend in Blacksburg. Visited with the kids, met Marcus’ roommate and his puppy, caught a football game and generally had a nice time. Great weather and the Hokies got some revenge on ODU. If you recall, ODU took us to the…
The winter is finally showing signs of being over and things are warming up here in Virginia. I love this time of year – seeing little green things peeking up out of the dirt. I got my trees out of their winter beds, their buds…
