While their days of hard toil may…
My husband, Dan, is no stranger to creaky floors and unsettling apparitions that frequent remote areas after dark.

This post is definitely not about Burning Man. If I hear the words, “Burning Man“, one more time I’m going to set my hair on fire. Yes, the man is burned.
