Snow in Jersey

We had our first stick-to-the-ground snow here in Blackwood New Jersey the other day. Of course it all melted by lunchtime. Fiona was excited anyhow.

We’ve all suffered from terrible colds: sneezing, coughing, aches, fevers, yuck, yuck, yuck! I think we’re almost all well. I hope we can get out this weekend and enjoy the sunshine and [...]

What Is Your Source of Income?

Families who want to travel or are traveling often get asked this question. We have multiple streams of income and the one that’s been around the longest is Spinhead Web Design.

In paradoxical leap worthy of Dr. Who, the Spinhead website has reverted to our design from September of 2002, based on Joel’s favorite Dr. Seuss book [...]

Open Mic Night at Jersey Java & Tea

When our friend Dorothy found out where we were staying in New Jersey, she told us to look up her friend Mary of Jersey Java & Tea. We did and met Mary in person a couple of weeks ago. Jersey Java & Tea hold open mic nights the first and third Fridays of every month. They [...]

Celebrating with Co-Authors Shanna Mann (Why We Lead) and Rick Wilson (Hits or Niches)

Months of working frantically to write six books simulataneously with two different co-authors culminated in celebration on 11/11/11.

The Journey Begins Anew Today

The journey of life begins anew today for our family. Our son, James Ashman, is joining us from California. He’s driving clear across the country all by himself. So of course I’m a bit concerned. But he’s a lot like me and I know he’ll take care and plan well and arrive safe. He’s looking forward [...]

Living in Blackwood New Jersey for the Winter

Yep, we’re living in Blackwood New Jersey for the winter. Technically the physical address we’re living at is in Turnersville. But our mailing address is Blackwood. Our son James is coming out in a week or so to stay with us as well. We’ll stay through February at least. Unless something drastic happens to change it [...]

Broiled, Not Baked – When the Oven Thermostat Doesn’t Work

If you know anything about the Canfield family, you know we love to make our own bread, daily if at all possible, and eat it warm fresh out of the oven. The home we’re staying in right now doesn’t have a working oven. The broiler works but  not the thermostat. We’re all waiting on more income [...]

South New Jersey in the Fall is Beautiful

We’ve been in South New Jersey for nearly three weeks now. You probably thought we fell off the face of the earth since we haven’t posted much here lately. No, we didn’t. We’re alive, and even well!

Columbus Public Library Stop Before Canfield Ohio

We’re at the Columbus Metropolitan Library. The children’s section is great! Fiona is having a blast. We were able to obtain a guest pass to use the wireless for internet access.

Now we just need to find a place to stay overnight before landing in Philadelphia on Saturday. It ends up that so far none of our [...]
