Happy Friday 3/13/20

Happy Friday! And it’s Friday the 13th, eek! That sure feels like a fitting date to end THIS week, ya know?! We decided to put our big road trip plans on hold in light of the coronavirus pandemic. We’re going to miss seeing the landlady out on the road (the landlady is our 1977 Airstream Argosy), and we’re certainly going to miss warmer weather and ocean views, but there’s always next year.

So…we’ve found ourselves with an extra 3 weeks of time on our hands and no shortage of house projects…
