Spring came early this year, or so it felt as we were on the road heading south. The trees along the side of the road were nearly green when we made it to Berea, KY. Asheville, NC was our trip destination, but Berea became our favorite stop that we had made along the way. The…

It seems that everywhere I go, renovation takes place. This past Sunday in Door County was rainy; a welcome excuse not to work on the Tin Can. We drove up and down the peninsula instead, stopping for coffee and road side stands and second hand stores. A set of blue green melamine dishes and…
