This has been the wildest, busiest week. Either I’m not home, or I’m home and there are a bunch of people here doing stuff. This morning, I took the truck to Charleston get supplies for the studio. After I unloaded, I took the truck to Spencer to get this load of lumber for the milking parlor. I love having a truck! After Morgan’s big day at the amusement park in Cincinnati yesterday, she spent the night at my cousin’s house. I picked her up on the way home with the lumber and said, “I like the truck better than the Explorer now!”

Morgan said, “You’re insane.”

I told her, “But it’s fun to drive! And I can get BIG STUFF!!!”

The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
