Puerto Peñasco

Filed under: History & Outdoor Adventures & Travel by Erin on 1/28/2009

Taking advantage of a natural lull in work over Christmas Lance and I escaped for a few days of rest and relaxation to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico—Rocky Point as gringos call it (though if translated properly it would be Rocky Port). In an a effort to “get away from it all” we left our cats in [...]

Joy in the Journey

Filed under: Willett News by Erin on 1/1/2009

Pursuing our dreams, cherishing the journey. Lance and I recently heard of a contest where people were asked to sum up their lives in six word biographies1. Talk about a challenge! The above is our attempt at it. We found the exercise to be a good fit for this time of year as we look [...]
