We’ve spent a couple of nights at Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In those two days I’ve lost count of how many friendly people welcomed us to Arkansas. The very first to do so was a behemoth of a man with a shaved head and a giant slug of … Read More
Canopy-less in Arkansas
Ali overheard a conversation this morning between two twenty-ish year-old girls. “Oh my god, you know that pregnant goat of my mama’s?” “Yeah.” “Well, last night she just got up and tried to jump the fence. Didn’t make it though, got all tangled up…” And that was all Ali heard. … Read More
May Need to Stop at Target Again
This morning was cold and rainy, so instead of hanging around we loaded up and headed down the road in search of a diner. New London, Missouri, was the first town along the way. We crept through the three blocks of Main Street where every single store front was shuttered. … Read More
Warming Up Slowly
Yesterday the temps never got out of the teens and the wind never got out of the twenties. Basically, we couldn’t even step foot outside of the bus. I can’t even explain how over cold weather we are. I honestly wouldn’t care one bit if we never saw snow or … Read More
Start the Odometer at 66,712

The Bus is Out
Getting so close now. We left the shed yesterday, after many cold weeks of work. Driving down the road it felt like a new bus. Looking in that rear view mirror I couldn’t help but smile. Many thanks to one of our biggest supporters and friend, Mike, for rearranging his … Read More
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Four years ago we hit the St. Paul St. Patrick’s Day Parade with Ouest, who was three months old at the time. Somehow we’ve found ourselves in Minnesota in March yet again, so… Ten minutes into the festivities Lowe and Ouest were being photographed for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. … Read More
A New Floor
The flooring arrived yesterday, and it was in the bus by this afternoon. We ended up going with TrafficMaster Allure Ultra vinyl plank flooring, which is way too expensive, but totally worth it in the end. This stuff just goes together like magic. I did the entire floor in about … Read More
