It was a year ago today that we took what turned out to be a fateful walk. It was the beginning of quarantine, and we decided to check out a new trail in North Park, about 10 minutes from our house, hoping it would not be as crowded as some of the more popular trails…asContinue reading “The Day We Planted the Seed: Deciding to go Fulltime on a Walk in North Park”

Hiking with My Bird on the Little Blakely Trail, Arkansas
One of the things I have not done a lot of on our adventure is spend time with Little Bird outside of the camper or campground just the 2 of us.

One thing that surprised us about Texas was the sudden influx of Lutheran churches. I was raised Lutheran, and we belong to a Lutheran church in Pittsburgh, so we are always on the lookout for Lutheran churches wherever we visit.

Living the Best Beach Life at Mustang Island State Park, Texas
Texans know how to live the best beach life. There is none of this lugging your chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers, and other accessories across parking lots, down paths, and across deep sand. No, you take a right at the stop sign, drive yourself directly onto that beach, park a safe distance from the surf, leaveContinue reading “Living the Best Beach Life at Mustang Island State Park, Texas”
Our Faith Adventure in Matagorda, Texas
Have you ever watched dolphins swim from your dining room window? Little Bird and I received the amazing gift of watching a pod of dolphins travel down the Colorado River during our stay at Matagorda Nature Park
Weathering Winter Storm Uri in Columbus, Texas
We have been so lucky to dodge storms and stay mostly out of freezing temperatures, but when you are going to face a storm, why not make it the biggest storm the area has seen in over 30 years?
Unanswered Prayers: Getting a glimpse at what might have been in Houston, Texas
Our day trip to Houston proved what we have known to be true for the past 6 months. Our prayers to follow Will’s job to Houston went unanswered for a reason. And we are so very thankful for that.
