Hiking Perspectives

October 15, 2018October 15, 2018 tahlia42Leave a comment

Reading a book about hiking the Appalachian Trail taught me two things: 1) I don't want to hike the Appalachian Trail, and 2) trail upkeep is vital.

Skill Building

August 17, 2018 tahlia421 Comment

Jumping in with Both Feet

For years I've been looking for a good fit for volunteering. I especially wanted to work with animals, but I didn't want to end up with the need to bring them all home with me. Now I have found a place and get to help wonderful dogs find forever homes that aren't mine.

Even More About Cheese
