Usually I participate in Wordless Wednesdays posts. However, while looking at my pictures, I realized that there is one picture that I need to write about. Earlier this month I attended my extended family’s biennial reunion. This year, my Mom and I hosted the gathering at a lakeside set of cabins in southwest Colorado. I [...]
I love Wordless Wednesdays. Thank you Angry Julie and Red Lotus Mama for the big share. You gals are awesome!
Here’s what I love about road trips. I love not being on a schedule. I love getting up and going when we get up and go. I know that I’m gonna get there. Don’t rush me. I’m rushed enough. On a schedule enough (or running behind enough). I run errands enough. I just want to [...]

I love fall. It is absolutely my favorite season all year. I love the colors all around. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving. I love pulling out sweaters and jackets. Today, fall really started for me. Last night it rained all night. Our first real rain of the season. It doesn’t really rain in the summer [...]
