The JAIL Break Team has several missions today: paint a mural, check out some wedding inventory, visit with friends along the way, and try to stay as calm and cool as possible on a VERY hot day! JAIL stands for Jennifer, Alfredo, Isabel and Lydia. A few years ago we were inspired to create a…
It’s a full day of Escobar style adventures! Morning chores involve checking out one of the cats, who seems hurt but turns out OK. The morning is full with choosing and installing some flooring for the new house, and the afternoon is spent being silly at a friend’s pool. Then it’s time to check on the chicks before…
Today starts early with some weed-eating before the heat hits in full force, followed by our regular Sunday morning coffee with friends.

JAIL stands for Jennifer, Alfredo, Isabel and Lydia. A…
It’s just another day in our Berea and Bighill Paradise!

Beginning and ending with summer storms and high waters, today’s adventure includes a short funeral service for two unfortunate hatchlings, the rescue of unhatched eggs from a mommy-cidal chicken, discovering wild turkeys in the brush, and substituting sparklers…
Today’s great adventure is a visit to Mary and Peter’s house, where we learn about caring for cactus plants, hear stories about family and horticulture, and go home with a modest starter collection of cacti for our windows. We’re thankful to live in Berea, where friends like Mary and Peter can be found! JAIL stands…
Another dance day for our family – no great surprise! The Berea Festival Dancers perform for the final day of the Berea Craft Festival, and then we drag ourselves to Happiness Hills, where we prep the rooms for the next guests. When we’re finally done, we’re completely exhausted, but it has all been worth it! JAIL…
