Bread Box Assembly
Yesterday Kat pulled out a bread box that had been hiding in our pantry since we moved downtown. Before that, it had been tucked away in our basement ever since I moved into Kat’s house.

2024 Summary
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. In fact, this is the first post of 2024. It’s been a whirlwind of a year. The year started out spending lots of time with friends and saying an untimely, final goodbye in January. Lots of memories and pictures were shared, drinks were had, and tears were shed.…

As a result our front yard had been a long outstanding project that we’d been afraid to tackle.

Home Improvement Porch Project
Kat bought our house around the same time that I bought my condo in 2014, before we even met! It’s an amazing property on a large wooded lot with nice privacy and set back a bit from the street in a quiet neighborhood. The house had a great back deck with room for an outdoor…
