We just returned from our annual summer trip to visit family in Kentucky. The trip is split between my mother-in-law’s house and my brother’s house. That makes for two very different types of vacation. We always start at my MIL’s house because it is the shortest drive from our house. The Typical Day at My … More It’s Like Two Vacations in One
I’m sure everyone has been anxiously awaiting my post about what I did while I was away last week. I don’t have photos of cool places to show you. I just have an excruciating day by day recap of what I did. Don’t read before operating heavy machinery. Day One – The first day of … More What I Did on My Summer Vacation
I have not liked anything I have written today so I will do the quick post I planned for Thursday morning to let everyone know about an upcoming semi-hiatus. If everything goes as planned I will be leaving Tater Town soon and will be away for a little over a week. I will be spending … More Upcoming Hiatus

For the last week I have hiked, found interesting sites in the middle of nowhere … More Back to the Real World
I am taking a vacation. A vacation from work. A vacation from the room I’ve been sitting in for 4 months. A vacation from the news. A vacation from social media. A vacation from the blog. I wish the picture below was current vacation me. I’m going to make an effort to get there mentally … More See You On the Other Side
The above is from the Washington Post Tik Tok. I feel it is the perfect representation of what my day today will be. I’m off today for the holiday on Saturday. All that means is that I will close my laptop and watch TV all day. Very exciting, huh? It was going to be even … More Holiday
Today was my first day back at work since December 20. Rather than dwell on that bad news, I thought I would subject everyone to a boring post about what I did on vacation.
