Thoughts on Campfires
Throughout our childhoods, both Hubby’s and my families went camping from time to time. Hubby’s family went far more than my family. We had a farm so it was hard to get away from the chores with the milk cow and chickens. So when my family went, it was a huge deal. The biggest fun […]
Thoughts on Pierre, South Dakota
In our summer sojourn this year, Hubby and I stayed for several days in Pierre, South Dakota. If you call the town Pee-air, people know you’ve never been there. However, if you call the town by its correct pronunciation, you will call the town “Peer” just like the people of the Dakotas. Pierre is Hubby’s […]
Thoughts on Camping
Ever watch that old show called Green Acres? The husband wanted to move to the country and his high-society wife wanted to stay in New York City. The man won the battle and out to the country they moved. That show sort of describes how Hubby and I decided how to go camping the next […]
Thoughts on Oregon Driving
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a blog about driving in Texas. They have short ramps and high speed limits. Now let me tell you about driving in Oregon. They have long ramps and low speed limits. But that doesn’t mean people obey those limits. We can drive across Oregon to see Grandson and […]

Thoughts on Worry
I had a strange thing happen on my Las Vegas-to-Boise flight home. I sat in a seat next to the window and when two young women sat next to me, I was pleased to have these seatmates (as opposed to business men who hog the armrests). Immediately upon sitting, the middle-seater turned her back to […]
Thoughts on Texas Driving
First let me preface what I’m going to say with, I’m a native Texan and I love Texas. I have lots of family there and I hope to live there again someday after everyone forgets I said all this. Now, let me talk about Texas driving. It’s fast. It’s assertive. And I wonder why does […]
Thoughts on Love
Last week I attended our annual church camp meeting in Oklahoma. A lot of people were there that I didn’t know well, but there were also lots of people that I knew from way back. Seeing old friends again makes my heart swell with joy and happy memories come flooding back to me. The feeling […]
