Stories about people and places around the country - both at home and wherever I might happen to be.

Bringing you a lighthearted look at life in the country.

Welcome to my neighborhood, wherever that might be.

My videos are all over the place...meaning in content and in location. Some come right from my ten acres in the country and other stories from around the region as I travel in my 21 ft. camper van.

I hope my videos will make you feel a bit better about the world. Check back often for my latest videos, and thanks for coming along for the ride.
