The Battle’s Over

This has been a hard summer for us. We’ve had a great deal of fun, too. In fact, we’ve had so much fun this summer, it’s kind of hard to explain why I say it’s been a hard one. I for one didn’t think the summer was particularly hot, though so many people did complainContinue reading “The Battle’s Over”

Rendezvous 2011 – Wednesday and Thursday

Wednesday morning, Scott and I both slept late. By the time we awoke, the sun had risen far enough that there were no more oranges, no more melons and no more golden hues to the sunrise. The sun was full in the eastern sky. It was 6 am! As has become tradition here, I wentContinue reading “Rendezvous 2011 – Wednesday and Thursday”

Wyoming Days 3 & 4

Ah, dear friends, the stress of trying to meet a daily Blog posting deadline! So sorry I didn’t get one written, let alone published, yesterday! I shall attempt to explain why! Sunday evening shortly after posting “Day 2”, the weather began to turn on us… just a little. First it rained. It felt so wonderful,Continue reading “Wyoming Days 3 & 4”

Wyoming Day 2

We still aren’t getting the best cell signal up here. I’m a little surprised by that, because last year it was relatively strong. Unfortunately, this means that we have to play catch as catch can when it comes to uploading. Right now, my cell phone is dead. When it has recharged sufficiently, I’ll plug itContinue reading “Wyoming Day 2”

Wyoming Day 1

Well, we’ve arrived! I was going to call this post “Rendezvous Day 1”. But Rendezvous doesn’t officially start until Wednesday. Scott and I believe in being early! Actually the area where we camp is so beautiful, that we just don’t mind being here a few extra days. Yesterday’s drive went well. We left Council BluffsContinue reading “Wyoming Day 1”

All our bags are packed

Well, we’re getting ready to head out on the road again. In the next 2 hours, we’ll hook up the trailer, and head on down the road. Destination: Somewhere high in the Medicine Bown National Forest of Wyoming! Wanna know where precisely? I’ll tell you! Scott and I’ll be spending the next 8 days withinContinue reading “All our bags are packed”

Remember When?

It’s interesting, really, how memory can play games with you. I have a memory… I won’t claim it’s a strong memory… of being told by my mother how hot it was when I was born. I also vaguely recall that I was born in the pre-dawn hours. So, it’s hard for me to reconcile theseContinue reading “Remember When?”

Trailer Tribulations and Weekend Fun!

Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend. Scott and I celebrated by getting away for a 4 day camping trip in our trailer (we really don’t do any other type these days… though that could change!) I had never travelled to North East Iowa. And that is definitely my loss! We drove up to McGregor, Iowa,Continue reading “Trailer Tribulations and Weekend Fun!”

On the Trail of Ancestors

As some know, I enjoy tracking our family genealogy. Not long ago, I was hunting for some family names online when I came across a website called http://www.findagrave.com. This is a site that lists most cemeteries in the USA, and many of those buried in those cemeteries. Anyone can post to this site. One thingContinue reading “On the Trail of Ancestors”
