Jamey got it back up (sort of) just in time for me to tell you that we have left Door County for the last time as residents.

Continue readingThis morning, there were some highs and lows. Mark was able to fix our plumbing situation, so we have water now. Yay! Then we planned to go out and look around some more, but when Mark turned the key in the car, nothing happened, not even a sound.
