A Pennsylvania Story
Day 11 of our virtual road trip takes us east from Ohio to Pennsylvania. In 1991 Lyle and I made a trip to Pennsylvania from Kansas. We stayed with my aunt and uncle in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and went on several sight-seeing excursions from there. Today I’ll be sharing portions of my journal and memorabilia from our visit to Philadelphia. May…

An Ohio Story
Day 10 of our virtual road trip takes us north from Kentucky to Ohio. We lived in Lima, Ohio during my high school years. One of my memories from those years is the time my 95-year-old great-grandmother visited us. Granny lived in Eldorado, Oklahoma. (She was the 1918 “Mama” in the story I told about Oklahoma.) Mother had invited her to come…

A Kentucky Story
Day 9 of our virtual road trip takes us north from Tennessee to Kentucky. The main thing I remember about Kentucky is going to church camp in Wilmore every fours years from 1976 – 1988. The small denomination we were a part of had a “general camp” every quadrennial (seriously, that’s what they called it!) at the Holiness campground that was connected with…

A Tennessee Story
Day 8 of our virtual road trip takes us northeast from Georgia to Tennessee. My family lived in a suburb of Nashville for about 6 months when I was 6 years old. Since we were there such a short time and I was so young, my memories are pretty vague. I remember playing with the neighbor kids on our swing set……

A Georgia Story
The seventh day of our virtual road trip takes us north from Florida to Georgia. It’s a good thing we aren’t on an actual road trip in that part of the country right now, what with Hurricane Matthew and all! I only remember being in Georgia a couple of times when I had a layover in the Atlanta airport. I…

A Florida Story
The sixth day of our virtual road trip takes us southeast from Alabama to Florida. I’ve been in Florida exactly twice–once in 2009 and once in 2015–both times for work, and both times I saw virtually nothing. No Disney. No Keys. No ocean. Since that’s the extent of my story about Florida, I asked my friend Sheila from Making the Most…

One Sentence a Day – August
A recap of August in one sentence a day… and a few pictures. Monday, August 1. Porch-sittin’ in the evening has become one of my favorite summer [in]activities. Tuesday, August 2. Played around a little bit with graphic design. Wednesday, August 3. Celebrated Lyle’s birthday with take-out pizza and an evening at home. Thursday, August 4. Sometimes it’s just good…

Weekend on the Oregon Coast
Something Lyle and I have been looking forward to ever since we moved back to Idaho this spring is our traditional* trip to the Oregon Coast for his birthday. I always have Friday afternoons off, so Lyle took last Friday afternoon off as well and we headed out about 1:00. We live in the panhandle of Idaho, just a few minutes…

One Sentence a Day – May
The “One Sentence a Day” meme is an idea I got from my friend, Sheila, at Making the Most of Every Day. She and several others had a link-up last month and will be doing another on June 2. I wanted to go ahead and post mine for May now, since it’s been several weeks since I blogged. Sunday. May…

A New Chapter
Life is always an adventure. Just when I think I have everything figured out, I realize I don’t. But that’s okay. I’m happy to let God be the boss. After almost 2-and-a-half years in the Denver metro area, we sense God leading us back to Idaho. There are many things we don’t understand. We have had some great experiences here…
