As I look back on the year 2018, I love that it has been so filled with family and friends foremost!
Started the year with a wedding, became grandparents in the spring, met "Daniel Boone", visited family and friends, friends visited us, watched sculptures being made, and toured southwestern Indiana and learned more about its history.
We added a Guesthouse/Storage/Hobbies & Interests House to our property. We will be living in this house, until the Cabin is finished. So, we have been working on making it nice for our visitors. In between visitors, it will be our goal to use this building more for following our interests and passions.
As you will see below, I have been continuing to follow my interests in photography, genealogy, stargazing and identifying the wildlife around us.
