Scenes from the Dashboard – N. Central Indiana
We travelled to Ft. Wayne over last weekend for Easter and on our way home we decided to make a detour in search of the JAYCO manufacturing facility in Middlebury, IN.

Save the Cat Slipcover Project – Part 10 – The Box Cushion Cover and Reveal!
The final step in this project is the cover that goes over the cushion. This type of cushion is called a BOX cushion.

Catching a Breather and just Daydreaming
Hey all! I had one of my recurring dreams the other night. I dreamed (again) that I abandoned everything and packed up a motor home and hit the road. Psychologically this dream has probably something to do with stress or a fear of dying young and unfulfilled, err or something like that. Who knows right? … Continue reading Catching a Breather and just Daydreaming
