Very nice little blog. The intro was pleasantly brief but well attended with personal vignettes. I like the format. Do you think you’ll have some videos of your ‘adventures’ around GA and nearby states that will inspire folks to get out and enjoy life on a budget?
Good luck with the blog. Hope it grows in attendance
Thank you for your comment! We may eventually add videos to our blogs, but are sticking to photos and writing for the time being!
