Window Shopping For the Soul

I’ve always had a tough time resisting buying little, cool, one-of-a-kind things that are full of grace and character, and are usually handmade. It is a cheaper shopping habit than most, but it still owns a bit more of the consumer attitude than I’d like to think I’m victim to. It...

What It’s All About…

We’re hitting the road again and this time we’ll be crossing the SouthWest with our quarter-dozen children ranging from 7 months to 7 years. The trip is planned out: David has a tour booked all across our route and we know where we need to be each day to stay on...

Columbus Ohio

We went to Columbus to see people we love: Zach (and his new bride Bethany) and Michael. We were only there for two days. We sat together in parks, barbecued in Mike’s yard, withstood a power outage, played music in the Short North, and visited Bethany’s family farm. It was short...

Ada’s Birthday

Ada is seven years old and we had such an amazing time celebrating her birthday last night with family and this morning with friends! This is what we love about being back and what we missed when we were away. It is what makes us continue to call Clearwater home even...

After a series of Walmart hotels over the prior week, then a couple of hours driving through the serene...

West Virginia – Grand View

We had the best time with Robby over several days. The West Virginia woods were beautiful and astonishing, the company was jovial, the skies clear and the sun bright. The girls were loving it, Cassidy was still too little to tell us what he thought about it, and the caves were...

Peaceful Interlude

After a whirlwind of travel and transition, our first peaceful day hit us a couple of weeks ago in Ohio and reminded us to slow down once and a while: We woke up in the parking lot of an AAMCO in a tiny town, got our transmission looked over, then drove...

North Carolina

Our family in the hills, on a farm, chickens and sometimes cattle or a little donkey. Two girls (seven years), one up and coming gentleman in a dollar bow-tie and two long-haired parents with a sense of humor. Shouts and grins and home cooking and a flowering garden in a Blue...

Athens, Georgia

Outdoor Farmers Market, long skirts and necklaces made of holy seeds, playing in the sun, then a drizzle, paid in tips and the farmers’ bounty: Back room in a hip bar, orange curtains and stuffed animals that used to be alive. Cool college cats in overstuffed furniture that was loosing its...
