So our kitchen is not the greatest . . . or at least it wasn't. While it might look big, it had no pantry and very little storage. Over time, and with the help of my daddy, we have been... Continue reading

Ah the joys of the Apple IIc - all the computers of my youth were Apple b/c of my Dad. I miss them (but not enough to switch back while I'm forced to use what I do for work).
