  • What you don’t know.

    Yesterday a woman who had great influence in my life turned 90.  I did not celebrate. This woman began programming me as a young child. Both in religious ways and codependent dysfunctional ways. She created the daughter she needed and… Continue reading

  • Back Home

    We had been to the Badlands when our kids were little. We both remember them climbing over these ball like formations. We never did see what we remembered. The new rules prohibit wandering off the trails. There were a few… Continue reading

  • Miles Closer to home.

    We traveled down so many beautiful roads and loved seeing what was around each bend. By the time we made it home, we had traveled almost 5,000 miles.  That seems unreal to me.  And, I didn't drive once.  My husband… Continue reading

  • Waiting to Get In

    The next day's plan was to get to Arches National Park.  To enter this park you have to make a reservation. Some spots are filled months out and then there are opportunities the night before – at 6pm they open… Continue reading

  • Our Car Moving Forward.

    We left the kids and headed south into Wyoming – on our way into Colorado.  There are a lot of fields to travel through between South Dakota and Wyoming.   Dropping into Colorado, the fun began. It felt good to… Continue reading

  • First stop of our Road trip.

    We took a Spring vacation – heading south and west – towards the mountains. Stopping first to see our two grandchildren in North Dakota. They were so fun and warmed right up to us. But first we had to drive… Continue reading
