Two little old people, my husband and I, finally moved into our forever cabin.

We liked that house, but we both quickly realized that we could not afford to maintain such an old home if we both wanted to retire from full time jobs anytime in the foreseeable future. It...

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Antonio Stradivari made the famous violins which now fetch upwards of $15 million dollars at auction.

Steve Meyer falls into the same category as Stradivari, but his instrument is built to call in a large tom turkey rather than join an orchestra. Meyer has made 30...

For many people, Thursday's Co-Op Day at the Fair entails a momentary stop at the sponsor tent for a complimentary root beer float- and an equally hasty return to other Fair-afternoon happenings.
