How Great Thou Art

This past Sunday, while attending Covenant Baptist in Saco, we sang this hymn. I have been singing this hymn since I was able to sing (actually I’m still not able to sing! ha ha). Even though it is one of my favorite and most familiar hymns, it wasn’t until this...

The Gorge-eous Kanc!

Saturday morning we set out for New Hampshire, which is just an hour west of our place in Saco, Maine. There were three things we wanted to do: drive the Kanc, hike Flume Gorge, and enjoy the sights of White Mountains National Forrest. We accomplished all three and it was...

Acadia National Park

If someone had told me a couple of years ago that Dale and I would be spending a month in Maine, during the peak of Autumn colors, I would certainly have wondered how in the world that would come to pass. I can only say that the Lord is so...

We Made it to Maine!

Currently Dale and I are sitting in the local Subaru dealer in Saco, Maine getting our car’s routine maintenance taken care of. Moon Rover (our name for our Subara, haha) is more than ready for its first checkup. We are really enjoying our Outback. Plus everyone we’ve interacted with at...

Listen, my children, and you shall hear …

… off the midnight ride of Paul Revere; so goes the poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1860, almost 100 years after Revere’s ride through the Massachusetts countryside on April 19, 1775. This past weekend Dale and I found ourselves exploring not only the path Revere took from Boston...

QuikTrip: Cambridge, Massachusetts

After church Sunday we headed just a few miles down the road to Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University. During a previous visit we toured the campus and explored the area. So, for this visit we took it slow and easy as we made our way to some of...

Thankfully it’s not October yet!

Witches and warlocks abound in Salem, Massachusetts, even in September! I’d hate to see this place in October! Saturday morning Dale and I headed about an hour’s drive northeast of us to explore the historic town of Salem. Of course the witch trials is one very well-known time in this...

Welcome to Boston!

One week ago today Dale and I arrived at Arlington, Massachusetts, located just northwest of Boston. Whenever we arrive someplace new we unpack, test the internet connection then buy groceries. The grocery part is always an adventure and our current location is no different. Whole Foods is the most numerous,...
