It’s been a pretty ordinary week with just the normal work routine. Robert is preparing the Jeep for our trip out West. He has it all torn apart. In this lull of travel, we’ve been thinking about some of the cool places we’ve been. Almost two years ago, we went to Kansas City …
I think Robert was born in the wrong time period. Over the last year or so, he’s been doing a lot of leather work. For as long as we’ve known each other, I had no idea of his talents with making handcrafted leather items. I’m one lucky lady to have several purses and notebook covers made especially for …
Our hike up to the summit of Mt. Rogers, the highest point of Virginia, was one of our high points of our trip (no pun intended, well maybe a pun was intended). We tracked our trail on the way up using Gaia GPS for the first time. Loving the app! We didn’t have any Internet …
Even though last weekend was pretty eventful, Robert and I seemed to get stir crazy. Maybe it’s because we felt our trip to TN was too short. Maybe we wanted to procrastinate on doing something. I don’t know, but the feeling of getting out and away from the RV overtook us the entire weekend. Antenna …
Not a well-known park, Prairie State Park has nearly 4,000 acres that preserves Missouri’s largest remaining tallgrass prairie. Did you know that tallgrass prairie used to be more than one fourth of Missouri’s landscape? Now, only one percent remains. Since it’s not too far from where we live, Robert and I decided to take the …
At the beginning of the month, Robert and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. We commonly don’t make a big deal out of our anniversary and usually remember it a day or so after it had passed. Not this year! Even though our day was right smack in the middle of the work week, I thought …
We had driven through Mammoth Springs, AR many times. It has always either been too late at night or too early in the morning for anything to be open. A few years ago, we stopped just before dawn and Robert took a few long exposure shots. The morning fog and the dim lighting was pretty creepy yet peaceful at the …
As we were passing through Thayer, MO we saw the sign for Grand Gulf State Park. We’ve driven through Thayer many times but we’ve never taken the time to slow down and take a look. Today was the day for an impromptu side trip. Just 6 miles off of Hwy 63 on Hwy W, we were …
Perhaps one of my favorite quotes is: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” — Charles R. Swindoll I think of it often. There are many things out of our control that happen to us, but we have total control of how we REACT. We have the choice …
Robert and I were itching for a little road trip, so one day, we buzzed over to Ft. Scott, KS. Growing up in El Dorado Springs, MO, I took for granted all the wonderful little attractions that were just a hop, skip and jump away. I guess we do that when we’re young. Now that …
