Family posts involves or effects our larger family.
Our granddaughter, who is an amazing baker, made Dale and I some delicious treats to take on our trip to South Dakota and Michigan last summer. We thought it would be fun to save one of her Blondies and photograph it in many of the places we visited. For Christmas...
November is always a good month for us: Dale and I both celebrate our birthdays and our anniversary; we get to spend time with family for Thanksgiving; we decorate for Christmas; and the temperatures cool down a bit — but not much. As a matter of fact, it’s been very...
Dale was born in Cincinnati. It’s true, he’s not a native Texan, but I love him anyway. His family came to Texas many years ago though, and in the 34 years I’ve known him he’s only been back to see his Ohio family a few times. So, when we received...
Dale and I recently spent the weekend with our daughter Jordan and her husband at their new home in New Braunfels. We were joined by our son and his family as well. It was a great opportunity to celebrate Jordan’s birthday and just hang out. Once we all arrived on...

The town is literally known...
Two weeks ago today the kids were packed and ready to head to the hospital. Everything was ready. A beautiful bedroom was prepared, bags were packed, and the soon-to-be mom and dad had their game faces on! The ball got rolling early Thursday morning in a spacious room at St....
Grandbaby number three will arrive this week, God willing! That thought is at the top of my mind, so I thought I’d put it out there before I go any further with this blog. Ha! The kids’ lives are about to change forever. Even when children are grown and gone,...
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...
