It’s now day 4 of our hospital stay, and while treatments & antibiotic schedules keep traffic moving in and out of our room frequently, we’re starting to get a little bored & craving a hands-on type of activity. One of the activities that Christa knows she will be participating in this coming year is a 4HRead More
When Life Forces You to Take a Break
I doubt that were the only family out there who occasionally forgets that we’re dealing with a very serious disease here. It’s not that CF really ever leaves our minds but we tend to get cruising along with life & all of our commitments & begin to sadly, take our health for granted. ThisRead More
Protecting Your Lungs Through Renovations
We all would agree that to protect lung health one cannot ignore inhaled irritants.

Keeping it Clean (through a remodel)

Picnic Table Makeover
I hate to start a post that I cannot finish so I think will refer to this as picnic table refinishing part one and part two. Nearly 19 years ago my brother gave us this wonderfully solid picnic table from our local lumberyard as a wedding gift. While the table has seen its fair shareRead More

Last week while we were in the city for my CF checkup, we noticed that each time we go we see more and more homeless people. We always want to help, but we are never sure what to do. There were 3 men standing on a corner, 2 of them were doing tricks and 1Read More
A Brand New Look
It’s been a super busy week in our print shop. One of the nagging tasks that I’ve been meaning to get to is a complete re-design of our logo & shop appearance on-line. While I enjoy every minute of the design process involved, it is so difficult for me to commit to a new look.Read More
