I’ve seen beautiful, amazing, impressive, and wondrous things on this trip… But nothing beats the gorgeous darkness of Wyoming’s interstate heading home! I’m not quite there yet, but I will be in my own bed tonight!
Roadtrip: TexRenFest
Way too many pics to share about the Texas Renaissance Festival right now. Currently headed home to cooler weather!
Roadtrip: Beach Time
last full day on the ICW…
Roadtrip: Pelicans
Yes, we have pelicans in Wyoming, but I sure enjoy watching all of them down here.
Roadtrip: Sea Glass
When we went sailing, I managed a bit of beachcombing… Looking for seashells for the grandkids and sea glass for myself. I found many great whelks and was thrilled with my prizes.

Roadtrip: Magnolia Farms
It started with a cupcake… Continued with a garden… Continued to the market… And it kept going and going!
Counting Down
It’s late and the big day is tomorrow… bright and early! I’m not quite packed… and I’m practically nauseous from getting ready to leave for two weeks. First of all, I’m not good at abandoning ship when there’s work to be done… here at home and the library… Second… it’s a long long long long…
Wanderers
For a couple of weeks now, it’s not unusual to hear elk bugling in our fields at night… We don’t see them, but we sure love listening to them. Today, with all the rain… a couple of cows and a calf just wandered by…
