Tara and I recently discovered the awesomeness that is Fleet Farm. Prior to moving out here, we’d never heard of the store before. It’s one of those Midwest chains, like Menards and Culver’s, that people in other parts of the… Read More ›

Ay, Oh, Way to Go
It was 70º yesterday. Sure felt a lot like spring, but I’d be a fool to believe we’ve turned the corner on a new season. One glance at the forecast reveals the truth. That’s how we transition to spring around… Read More ›
Oh, Shoot!
Last week, South Dakota Magazine reached out to me, asking if I’d be interested in having a photo featured in their Photo Friday series. Umm, does a three-legged dog swim in circles?! I was both humbled and honored. I do… Read More ›
99 Bottles of Beer on the Floor

Bachelor Chronicles: Day 2
My aunt left an interesting comment on Facebook in response to my boat post. Years ago (and I mean really years ago and not just before the pandemic), when I visited you from California, we had lunch at a restaurant… Read More ›
Think Pink
Sunday, a miracle happened. I actually convinced Tara that our yard would be better off with a few flamingos. Not real ones, mind you (though, if they could survive the harsh South Dakota winters, I’d totally be down). As you… Read More ›
This Old Sardine Can
I hope you’re enjoying your three-day weekend! Unless you’re reading this in a country that doesn’t celebrate Memorial Day. In which case…happy just-Monday. It’s been a busy few days. Knowing we were tackling a major project, I wanted to ease… Read More ›
