every little thing
Twelves states are included in the United States’ “Midwest” and we will be traveling through seven of them this summer. In 2022 we kicked off “Moon River” by traveling from North Carolina to Maine, then in 2023 we traveled to Utah, Oregon and California. This year we are taking a...
Saturday Afternoon Road Trip After enjoying a leisurely breakfast at Mikey V’s and Dale baking a coconut cake for Easter lunch, we took a late afternoon road trip. Due to time, we stopped at just a few of the spots I had planned. Doeskin Ranch, which is part of the...
Last night we celebrated the death of our Savior at our church’s Good Friday service. That sounds weird if you don’t believe that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday. Jesus’ life wasn’t taken from him, he gave it willingly, and then in his own power, he came back to life, defeating...
We are enjoying our second spring season in our new home. One of the things I love the most is the low maintenance yard and outdoor seating. I definitely did not say “no maintenance” yard. It does require some work to keep it trimmed and clean. I tend the beds...
In September 2022, while living a month in Massachusetts, I joined an online Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) group. I have been meeting with these ladies on Zoom every Thursday morning from September through May since then. The first year we study various books of the Old Testament, focusing on “People...

The phrase “hallelujah” only appears in the Old Testament Book of Psalms and...
Vacation clubs are the best! We don’t belong to one, but we are willing to hear all about it, if you let us stay in your beautiful resort for a highly reduced rate. Ha! This is our third tip to Hawaii that is the result of our willingness to sit...
Spring is the best time of the year (regardless of what Dale says). Temperatures are perfect, wild flowers are blooming, outdoor activities can resume. Ahhh, sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, spring is still one month away, and it is currently 29° with a wind chill of 6°! Texas winters are fairly mild,...
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...
