Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. We haven't really had a good exploring adventure for a while. There's this whole "real life" thing that insists on getting in the way. The recent weeks posts about beer got me thinking about a... Continue Reading →
A lot of things are different between living in WNY and RVA. Some are just a little different, some are majorly different. The biggest change is simply a matter of scale. Certainly, that was something that we "expected". Moving away from a very small city in a largely rural county to to the 43rd largest... Continue Reading →
What a week this has been! First and foremost, we are now a fully employed, Virginia family! Both the Kid and my Lady Wife now have jobs, both full time and with benefits. I can certainly attest that there was much rejoicing. I am slightly less sanguine about her Ladyship noting that now, for the first time... Continue Reading →
Kind of a quiet week, that was inevitable. First full week of The Kid headed out the door bright and early for her new (FULL TIME!!!) job. She seems to enjoy the work and the people so I am over the moon for her. This week saw Sunday School getting cranked back up so... Continue Reading →

Things have been busy but I'm trying to get back into my routine. We are now three. The Little Lady in My Life (LLiML?) has joined us. On her visits down here she has really enjoyed the area and the hospitality. So she decided to just make the move. There wasn't a lot in the... Continue Reading →
So a two week pause. One week had a good excuse, the second one didn't. Not to worry, we're back in the groove. Showing off our new "hometown" to our daughter was great fun. She was really, really impressed. Which brings me to this week's topic - how much we really like this area. Now... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the lack of a post this week. My daughter is visiting. So I'm busy. Talk with you next week! It's a new beginning.
As we continue our intentional exploration of our new home I will, from time to time, offer these special posts. So we tried again for a Farmer's Market. There's a big sign saying there's one every Saturday all summer just down the road from us. We saw no other sign of said Farmer's Market and... Continue Reading →
Something silly and something sad this week. Bad news first. I have never been in a city anywhere and seen this many, what to call them, panhandlers, beggars, homeless people looking for some help. I have certainly seen them in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, NYC, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco and more. But I have seen more in... Continue Reading →
