We're definitely grateful that we had this as a fallback option. This past year has just been "the perfect storm" of financial mishaps...

Yes, property tax is totally an abomination. Don't get me wrong, I like having roads, fire department, schools and so on as much as the next person, but so much of what we pay merely goes to

Yes, it is beautiful to see the trees flower at this time of the year! And the fruit will definitely come if you already have bees visiting the flowers.

Cool, and thank you. I'll be a buyer for those; let me know when the power-down is done!

Ah, the joy of postcards! Makes me think of part of my childhood when we were always moving around and traveling, and post cards were the way we always stayed in touch with the family back home. These
