Sunday, a group of us met at Coolidge Park for a nice swim around McClelland Island. I survived even though I haven't been swimming that much lately. A few places got shallow and I really didn't care to see the...
After months of wondering what would compel someone to put their life on display for the entire world to see, I cave to pressure. After all, everybody really is doing it. I am pretty much just hoping...

Marrying into a family with their own lake house is one of the major perks of being married to Damon. It is way cheaper than Pigeon Forge vacation rentals, and somehow more personal. We get here, go upstairs, turn to...
