    Travel Goals – Arizona

    I’ve been to Arizona the least of all the southwestern states. I’m really excited to go back and actually spend any length of time. Now, I know the Grand Canyon is a huge draw and I’ll go back (I’ve been once, briefly), but I’m actually super excited to see the Saguaros at Saguaro National Park.…

    Project LuLu: Sound Proofing

    This was a project long in the making. Well worth it, though. I recently received a monetary donation from a friend that allowed me to start on this project.

    The Maiden Voyage

    Here’s the thing. I can’t drive a stick. Or at least not well. And that poses an issue when the vehicle you’re buying is a standard. Thankfully, my mom knows how. She also learned on vehicles made pre-1980. She was the lucky contestant on getting LuLu home. Bringing home LuLu has been unlike any car…
