Life on the Rock: Part I
Mat, the pets, and I (and our fetus, too) made it to Mukilteo, Washington well before the last sailing, and after a brief ferry ride and another 20 minutes' driving, we were home. Home, in the summer of 2004, was a double wide at my mo…

The Long Road
Mat and I were no strangers to travel, having lived apart during our first summer as a young couple in love. My six hour drive from suburban Massachusetts to scenic Downeast Maine had passed a dozen times without a hitch by the time his bo…
Ten Things FarmWife Does For Me that She Probably Doesn't Have to Do.
