- Clark is the nominal leader of the madhouse: pack mule, ostensible bread-winner, published author, and absentee father
- LeAnn is the real power behind the throne: book junkie and garden meister both at home and at a local nursery
- Poppy is currently looking for what's next
- Erin has flown the coop, graduated and started her life, moving back near home with a new job and taking advanced classes
Furry friends complement the cabal at various times. Fellow inmates include:
Current:
- Ava, silly and sweet kitty
- Braxton, larger and slower but generally good
RIP:
- Mira, our attention hound
- Madi, always up for fun…and food
- Panther, slow and steady
- Cocoa, Panther's brother and opposite in temperament
- Sweetness, a rebel gone soft
