Yep, We’ve Gone Fishin’!

We are taking the month of June off. We have some family visiting and some landscape projects we are working on. And, if all goes well, some fishing too!

You can check out our old posts by category or tags. The categories and tags are found along the right side of our pages. You can also look back at the archives.

You can find all our posts about fishing here. You can see where the blog all started with the Grand Tour of the West.

We’ll be back in July! See you then!

Heading off to the fishin’ hole!

But the holidays are coming up fast, and both of us have some other projects underway as well. So….

OMG! We’ve turned 100 Already?!?
