Okay, so last week we went north to the cabin and it was a total bomb! Winds were bowing at 50mph and the temps dropped like a rock. It was a quick trip up and back for us. We did stop at the cafe for dinner then hit the raod. Hopefully, this week end will […]

Yikes… it’s been alittle over a year and we are STILL building the cabin in Happy Jack, Arizona. We had our inspection this last week and failed :-( In all honesty we weren’t too surprised.
The four of us (my daughter, her husband, myself and racer-boy also known as dear-hubby) all go up on week ends […]
