Five days in Madrid is hardly enough time to experience all the city has to offer, and this blog post will not do those five days justice, however, I will attempt to document our experience before any more time slips by. So, here we go … Madrid is known as...
My mind is flipping through the memories and images of this month trying to settle on which one deserves to be the title and lead of this post. I guess I would say the most joyful one is when all the family was at our home celebrating Christmas the Saturday...
December arrived quickly and so did Dale’s work trip to Raleigh. We arrived on a Monday and checked in to the AC Hotel, which is situated next door to Dale’s corporate office. While Dale attended meetings and team dinners on Tuesday and Wednesday, I spent several hours at a nearby...

June has come and gone, but not without bringing hot temperatures, humidity and a few adventures. At the beginning of the month, Dale and I had the pleasure of joining our oldest daughter and her family in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. We drove to Florida after work on Monday, slept...
