We’re finishing up our vacation at the Beaton family lake house on Tennessee/Mississippi border. It’s been really relaxing most of the time, especially compared to the all-consuming house renovation.

I took a month of classes, just 1 class a week, to become a level 2 crew member.

They told me if I felt confident enough to take the level 2 class then that was good enough to skip…
