(Levon) If you read our newsletter yesterday you know that we’ve made some changes in living arrangements. Our little beach house with our brother and sister was a perfect summer fit, but along with the cold came the feeling that it was going to get cramped. Okay, it was cramped.

4(from Levon) I’ve been quiet on here because I thought we had turned a corner and we try to keep this a story of hope. The hope is there, but the circumstances have left me brimming to push the story of the Flight of the Walker’s forward. I’ll need to back up a bit. Ashley [...] Continue Reading »

3Ashley got the job at the Grey Dog’s Coffee. She’s 1 for 1 as far walk-ins go. I won’t tell my ratio, but nevertheless we are both gainfully employed in our “bridge” jobs.

are you taking applications?
