  • Things I will miss about Fayetteville

    We closed the door on the house on Township Road for the last time on Tuesday. The junk removal people came around 11 and cleared out what was left in the house. After they pulled away we spent a couple of hours packing up the the truck. You might have seen our post on Instagram…

  • Time to get going… soon

    Let’s get the big news out of the way first: the Fayetteville house is under contract. We close on February 3rd. Whew. Actually, there’s not much else to report. It’s winter here in Northwest Arkansas, and that means if the sun is shining it’s about 20 degrees. If it’s warmer – say, in the 50s…

  • Happy New Year!

    It sure has been a busy weekend here in Fayetteville. It all started earlier this week, when the furniture we ordered for Beth and Steve’s new apartment arrived. Michael and I had to be there for the delivery – and then we had to make sure everything worked, of course. But that meant we could…

  • Arizona to Arkansas: the new Kessel Run

    After reluctantly leaving the Grand Canyon on October 31st, we headed south towards Flagstaff. After all the isolation of southern Utah this actually came as a bit of a shock. I mean, it was great to be able to choose between PetCo or PetSmart for dog food, instead of struggling to find anyone who even…

  • A big change. Plus, a big hole in the ground!

    We started this adventure not knowing what would really happen along the way. So in some ways, our next step shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. Well, maybe it is. Whatever. We decided to head to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to help out Michael’s parents. More details to come on that – or not, I would like to…
