Paddling

With all of the craziness that’s been going on the last few weeks I hadn’t had a chance to take one of my boats out or join any of the regularly monthly trips. Yeah, I was kayaking in a cave in Belize last week, but you can never get enough time on the water. This … Read More “Edisto River – Long Creek Landing to Martin’s Landing” »

Travel

Back in October for Laura’s birthday we booked a Western Caribbean cruise with Royal Caribbean. It turns out that a birthday wasn’t the only thing we were celebrating.

Thanksgiving at Home

Posted on November 28, 2025November 28, 2025 By Tom 2 Comments on Thanksgiving at Home
Family

We honestly didn’t think it was going to happen. Earlier this week we had no countertops and no running water in our kitchen. On faith, Laura and Amy bought a frozen turkey anyway.
