Updates on the Cabin Part 1

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

As you know, we headed to Michigan for Christmas to spend time with our family. While we were there, the contractor (R) was scheduled to get a good bit of work done including the electric, hvac, and the plumbing. Much to our displeasure, we returned to the cabin after our trip (Wednesday, Jan 2) to find that not only had the work not been completed, but also that the work that had been done had not been done right. We were exhausted from the trip, but we immediately jumped on the phone to find out what was going on. Later…

Awesome Science: Yosemite and Zion

Posted in Reviews

In season 1 of the Awesome Science series, we explored the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Meteor Crater & Petrified Forest with Noah Justice. The second season of the Awesome Science series begins with a visit to Yosemite and Zion National Park. While we haven’t made it to Yosemite yet, we have been to Zion, so we were interested in seeing Noah’s take on his visit to these two parks. In Explore Yosemite and Zion with Noah Justice, Noah continues with his fun and informative presentation style as he compares the evolutionary views of Yosemite and Zion National Parks with the Biblical…
