Going Camping
After a cold and rainy Memorial Day it is turning into a lovely weekend, so we plan to take the trailer out to the state park for a couple of nights. We’ll go tonight, and Lyle will come back into town for work tomorrow. There is no cell phone service or internet out there, but I plan to take my…

Mothers Day
“100 years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove… but the world may be a better place because I was important in the life of a child.” I’ve been sorting through some old family pictures and when I came across this one…

Stowaway!
We had a surprise passenger on our trip to Yakima on Friday. We stopped at a rest area about an hour down the road, and I went back to the travel-trailer to get something. When I opened the door Tabitha Cat jumped out! Now, our dog loves to travel and is often invited along on trips, as she was this…

Trip to Canada
The trip to Canada over the weekend was a lot of fun. Even though we aren’t all that far from the border, we don’t go up there very often, so we feel like quite the “international travelers” when we do! My husband and I have been across the border into Mexico once, and to Canada no more than a half…

RVin’
We bought a travel trailer last year, and we are enjoying it so much as we travel on weekends to homeschool conventions. My husband and I think we would love to live on the road, at least for awhile. But that doesn’t seem to be a practical scenario with my husband’s job, so we are glad to have the opportunity…

Bible Reading
Just out of curiosity, as we enter into Passover and Easter season… have you ever read the Bible? Just the odd chapter or Psalm? The whole thing? (Or, almost the whole thing? It’s some heavy reading, of course, and those “begats” get kind of tedious.) I have read the whole Bible. Portions of it many, many times… but I did…

He’s My Hero
I'm a girly-girl when it comes to all things automotive. I've been driving for twenty-mumble years and can count on my fingers the number of times I've put gas in a car. My husband, on the other hand, is what you might call an automotive enthusiast... which may explain why he's always been willing to get gas for me.

10 Hours in an Airport
I was in Denver last week for a training conference, along with about 30 others. Everyone was to leave after 1:00 p.m. on Saturday so we were dropped off at the airport about noon. My flight was not scheduled to leave until 9:40 p.m. I knew I’d have a long wait just hanging out until my flight started boarding. What…

I *still* love camping!
When I was a little girl, we mostly lived out in the country. So we never went camping. No need to, really. However, Lyle was a city boy and among his best memories growing up are the family camping trips. He taught me how to camp after we got married, and I’ve always loved it. I think mostly because I…

Highway 1
On Day 5 of our roadtrip we drove up the central coast of California on Highway 1. It was pretty foggy – not ground fog to make road visibility bad – but enough to make it hard to see the ocean. I guess that’s typical for mornings this time of year. The fog finally burned off about noon and we…
