After a long conversation late last night with both Hil and Matt from BerthaÃs house, with Bertha laughing and her dog yelping in the background, that included a long string of how great this is and how much fun that was, I asked, ìSo Matt, tell me exactly what incentive do you have to come […]
“Where are those kids? It’s 5:30, shouldn’t they be back in Esteli at their stations?” If there are any blog readers who have heard from the wandering wonders, please leave a comment. Chris is away at baseball camp and will return for one week of work before he leaves again, this time for trips to […]

Some might remember the last time I had to replace those supporting deck beams at Applewod. Then, it was with Mark QueijoÃs help, this time strong-like-bull Chris and I wrestled with the impossibly heavy timbers.
