Last Few Days in California
Having been officially homeless since a little before Christmas, we’ve relied on the generosity of family and friends to keep a roof over our heads.

Micah Makes Two
The call to arms (or at least cutlery). This past weekend we celebrated, with a couple of friends, Micah’s achievement on making it to the two year mark. Despite the fairly hot weather, a barbeque was in order with Gaynor once again directing the menu and doing most of the food preparation. Needless to say,…
