Thanks for stopping by Rabbit Trails, our family blog where we share our love of life, our love of learning and our love of God.

Most of the posts reflect our experiences and what Mr. Garner and I have learned from 9 years of homeschooling our purple-loving, piano-playing, manga-drawing, sushi-snarfing, former American Heritage Girl, Home School Graduate daughter (Grace Notes aka Apple Cider Girl), now studying Music and Criminal Justice and enjoying all four seasons at Bridgewater College in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.  Newer offerings explore our lives post homeschool, post urban-life, as free-range empty nesters. 🙂

We also try to keep up with our Ultimate Frisbee playing, George Mason University graduate (History!), media-mogul son (#1 Son). You can see more from him at DeadBrokeNerd.  You might see mention of Mr. Garner’s mother (Grandma Midge), my father (Papa Gene) and my sibling (Far-Flung Brother).

Mr. Garner likes fine wine, craft beer, bird-watching, mountain trail waterfall hikes, board games, pistachios, Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers, blues and jazz and great films. Some day, he might actually write a post about one of them.  Ahem.

I like used book stores, classic poetry (no free verse cheaters), choral singing, music of every description, Classic art, long nature walks with breaks for photographs, hand embroidery, botanical gardens, John Stott sermons, Jane Austen books, dragon flies, fall leaves, chai tea (iced or hot), pears, and York peppermint patties.

We’re a family. 😉

Happy (Rabbit) Trails…
