Windom, MN was extremely small and rural. We didn’t really speak to anyone there since we had arrived so late the night before and left first thing in the morning. Fortunately on the way out of town the next day, we…
Minor Differences Extra: Lynx and Minstrels
We are now on the road and it’s a bit manic. In the meantime, here’s a snippet from the Minor Differences: Around the Home post that we didn’t include: Tomorrow, we’ll have a bigger update on the start of our…
