Exercising Our “Green Thumb”

I’ve been told that one of my ancestors was the gardener for the King of Norway. I have absolutely no idea if this is actually true, but there must have been someone in my family who at least enjoyed working with dirt because I’ve always loved gardening and working with plants.

The Eagle’s Nest

I know we haven’t blogged for a while but we’re going to try to play catch up for  a bit! This September my younger brother got his Eagle Scout award!

We just thought we’d share some [...]
