every little thing
While traveling, Dale and I are attending local churches. We prefer churches like our home church, but we wanted to visit a well-known basilica in Asheville. It is known for its beauty and architecture. We attended Mass, which started at 9am, then there was a tour for anyone who wanted...
We spent an entire Saturday at the Biltmore Estate. Several months ago, when I bought the tickets, I wasn’t sure what all we would see or how much time we would need. Now I know why it costs almost $100 a person, not only do you get to see a...
After work on Thursday we took a short hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 409.6 to climb a fire tower located in Pisgah National Forest. The view includes incredible panoramas of the nearby peaks of Looking Glass Rock, Mt Pisgah and Cold Mountain. We attempted to do this...
Our home is above the garage of a nice home on a narrow residential street in Asheville. The property owners have invested a lot of time and effort into the landscaping. We have a great view from our balcony of the beautiful yard and adjacent wooded area. We are located...
Our arrival to Asheville coincided with a busy holiday weekend. However, it still didn’t seem as crowded as Round Rock on a normal day! Once we got settled into our Airbnb, Dale, J and I ran out for some groceries, which was quite an adventure. I have a feeling it...

In about an hour and a half we will hit the road for our big adventure. Once Dale’s work day is done, we’ll drive to my brother’s house in Rusk County for a short visit, then on to Asheville, NC by way of Little Rock and Nashville. It’s hard to...
We had one week where Dale, J and I would be together before leaving on our trip. I hoped, and prayed, that God would provide two things: a dress and a venue. He gave us both. All glory to Him for these gifts. If it had not happened, we would...
On June 3, atop a foggy mountain peak near Asheville, NC, our soon-to-be son-in-law asked J to marry him. The weather may not have cooperated but it didn’t seem to dampen the occasion. Dale and I are looking forward to hearing all the details when we see J later this...
One week ago today was Memorial Day. It seems like forever ago! We had a wonderful few days celebrating the holiday and the birthdays of our oldest and youngest children at Log Country Cove on Lake LBJ. It was so much fun! See photos here or watch the video. At...
