Finally, a Wildflower Drive to Remember

Every year I tell Dale, “We’ve got to take a drive and enjoy the wildflowers before they’re gone!” But somehow it never happens. This year it did! If you live in Central Texas, you know how beautiful the wildflowers can be. All through Spring you see families in the most...

Photo Showcase: Easter Campout & Eclipse

Easter weekend we went camping at Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown. When I made the reservation months ago I didn’t realize it was Easter. The weather was nice, the wildflowers were plentiful and the company was exceptional. Then on April 8 we joined the Sharrick Family at their lake...

Israel: A Trip of a Lifetime

Three weeks before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Dale and I were traveling from one end of Israel to the other. It’s unsettling to consider how close our travel dates were to such an awful event. Even now the war continues. We are so blessed to have explored Israel...

Moon River From 1,000 Feet

I really wanted to create one video that represented our Moon River adventures. I selected just a few of the many videos we took along the way. I was not able to show everything we experienced but I think this gives you a good idea of how amazing our journey...

Spain: Sharing the Way, the Truth and the Life

On October 4 myself and seven others from our church went to Spain to serve “pilgrims” hiking “El Camino de Santiago” or “The Way of St. James”, which is a 500-mile journey from France to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, located in Northern Spain. Since the Middle Ages, this...
