| Biggest Adventure | Moving into a house that will blend Shawna’s and mine simple “off the grid” lifestyle with Shawna’s 82 year old mother and sister’s mainstream lifestyle. |
| Life These Days | As long as your paddle is in the water, you are learning. Also, if you are ever out of dish soap, don’t try to shred a bar of soap on your cheese grater to try and create dish washing liquid, and definitely don’t drink a beer in a pint glass that you just washed in that sink! |
