good-bye, evie.
This past weekend while I was in Ohio, our beloved Evie went to live with a new family. She’s going to be missed. But it was time. We only had Evie with us for a little over three years, but those were fun times that we had with her! Back in 2011, we decided that

weekend in wauseon
This past weekend, I headed off on a rare trip – one on which I did nothing. I made no decisions. I don’t know when I’ve ever had a couple of hours like that, much less a couple of days like that! I flew up to Detroit and met my aunt and uncle who took

pre-conceived notions
Living in Atlanta, I’ve been flying Delta almost exclusively for years now. On the rare occasion that I’ve flown another airline, I haven’t bothered adding my frequent flier number because, well, I’m not a frequent flier anymore and definitely not on that airline.
