Giving so much thanks

I’m finally coming out of my food coma from our Thanksgiving feast… And I’m feeling super thankful for so many things. Earlier this week, I had a chance to drive Jordan out to the Kansas City area to spend 24 hours with a friend. I’m so thankful the years of connections I’ve made online that…

The end of a season

As school continues in full swing and many kids in other parts of the country kick off a new school year, we are saying goodbye to our awesome pool. It’s a community that is full of regular people who like to hang out by a pool. There are no airs. There’s just fun and conversation.…
