Historic log buildings--tell me your story!

Last night, I went to an Altan concert at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in nearby Vienna, Virginia. The concert was phenomenal--Altan is the world's preeminent traditional Irish music group, and between Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's pure soprano and the entire band's incredible talents on the fiddle, guitar, accordion and bouzouki, it was one of those rare experiences where the music seems to become much more than the sum of each of the players' individual contributions.

They were all quite busy as might have been expected from the problems on Friday.



We spent a lot of time with one builder that we were in

Where to begin? Winter!!

Well, where do we begin?



I guess we'll just say winter came. After a wonderful fall which we got a great start on things, winter came just a little too quick. Add to the mix a couple of bouts of pneumonia for both of us and a little OT at work dealing with the snow, and here we are in March. We did make a little
