Our return to southern Arizona began with a quick stop at my Grandma’s house near Portal. She lives in a beautiful part of the state and the weather was lovely for our overnight stay, warm with a slight breeze. We were also able to visit with my Aunt Paula and her boyfriend Harry. It was [...]
A big thank you to everyone who gave it a shot (see original photo). I’ll be honest with you—when I sorted through my photos a few weeks after taking them I didn’t even know for sure what this photo was. My first thought was, “Huh, that’s funny, I don’t remember seeing a bear cub recently.” [...]
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” —G.K. Chesterton1
This is a wonderful time of year to acknowledge all that we have to be thankful for: our health, each other, and our loved ones. It’s been an amazing year as we’ve been able to travel [...]
The weather continued to warm as we drove westward on I-20 from the Panhandle Plains into the Big Bend region of Texas.

It would be strange to be in Kentucky and not stop at Mammoth Cave National Park, after all it is the world’s largest cave system. Even though it has been mapped at over 350 miles long, all of the known cave fits well within the Park’s 53,000 surface acres. Through the ages, as slightly acidic [...]
Overheard on a local radio station:
This commercial-free hour is brought to you by (company name).
