Our OTHER New Baby
Unlike the computer that tried to die on us and we had to replace, we knew for a while now that we needed to replace John’s 1997 car. What we didn’t know was what a difficult decision it was going to be. Do we replace it with a new, small...
Our New Baby
So I arrive in Australia, ready to relax some, as the last 8 months have been grueling. I figure, I will play some on my game, work when it comes in, and enjoy restful weekends with John. That was not to be the plan, his computer started to have problems...

The weather predicted for the whole week was for rain. We decided to take the day and hunt for wild flowers anyway. So we packed the car and we were off to the Western Australian Wheat-belt.

Shenandoah Valley
Jim and Chris invited John and I to the Shenandoah Valley Long Branch Hot Air Balloon & Wine Festival . They also held a car show. So after being in a few cities, off to the mountains we went. On the way there, we made a stop around Harpers Ferry,...
Outsiders View
Having friends all around the world, it’s often interesting to hear how they view things about what goes on here. Namely, the topic of some discussion has been our elections. I had to chuckle when Petra (from Holland) sat down at the dinner table recently and stated, “If Hillary or...

I really can’t say I am a country music listener, but growing up, our house was often filled with the sounds of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton, just to name a few. So, I am a little bit country thanks to my dad. I can remember...
