I can’t believe all my sweat to get some posts set up for you, my dear Readers, before we left on a little get-away fell through. They were supposed to be tie-overs until I returned, and to make up a little for not keeping The Little House On the Hilltop Project on schedule since I was away (I had hoped to find an internet cafe with computer availability in Hanalei, Kauai – my little search turned up nada).
