1600 miles. 26+ hours in the car. Me and my backside couldn’t be happier to be home in Rochester. It is surely flatter than when we started out 10 days ago! My hip joints & knees continue to complain as well. Major shout-outs to my drummer boy — husband, and DRIVER! He endured my whining about aching joints, and … Read More
Internet Cravings
(A shout-out to all the visitors from Ryan’s blog! Welcome!) My name is Cheri and I’m addicted to blogging. Ok, maybe not addicted — but I sure crave it. To prove it, I’ve left the comfort of my father-in-laws home at 11 pm and drove to my sister and brother-in-laws home (down the road) to … Read More

Teacher’s pet
Shortly after Kirk and I started dating, we were driving by an elementary school. As we passed by the school he said, “that’s where I went to elementary school”. I responded to his comment with a question. “Who was your 1st grade teacher?” He said, “Mrs. Reiff”. I said, “that’s my grandma!” Kirk replied with: “no way!” When … Read More
