Day 215: Gain
We took a hike along the Little Wilson again to do some climbing. It’s been cold and drizzly for the past few days, so when we got two days of sun in a row, it seemed like a good time … Continue reading
Day 214: Defer
Today, I ran into a bit of a problem with the whole de-cluttering thing. We still have lots of boxes and bags lying around the house. I have been trying to tackle little pieces every day, but there is quite … Continue reading
Day 213: Sync
We took a trip down the Nolichucky River today. We did a nine-mile stretch, with quite a few sections of Class III and Class IV rapids. We had a blast, but it also provided a great reminder of how important … Continue reading

Day 207: Assess
Well, here we are again at 2am, blogging in an empty house. Almost empty, that is. I’ve completely cleared out the upstairs, plus everything downstairs, with the exception of the kitchen and the living room. And I need to pack … Continue reading
Day 206: Hunker
Well, it’s not exactly camping, but I am “roughing it” in a way–I’m back at our house in Atlanta for (hopefully) the final weekend of clear out and clean up. There’s no furniture left, so I’m sleeping on a sleeping … Continue reading
