We left from Shannon’s yesterday and drove the rest of the way to San Antonio. It always amazes me when I’m here just how stinkin big Texas really is when you’re driving it. (When we crossed in on the east side, near Beaumont – there was a sign that said: El Paso 857 miles. WOW! [...]

You can’t get *close* to New Orleans without taking a few moments to look around, right? We thought we’d spend a little time looking around and then get started back on the road to Texas. We didn’t really factor in just how crowded New Orleans would be though…. which means we actually spent a lot [...]

It was a full day, starting with packing the car and heading on our way at 6 am Friday morning. (Thursday night was full of tornado warnings, early warning sirens ringing and a torrential downpour – which conspired to keep us from loading the van). We stopped along the way in Florence Alabama for me [...]

Which is fine – I love interaction with you any way I [...]

They live in the Connecticut suburbs with two young children. Frank commutes to New York City where he works in an office job while April stays [...]

Found this little mama crawling on the outside of our tent last weekend – presumably looking for a  place to rest her heavy load. I can honestly say that I didn’t know that spiders carried an egg sak around with them. Did you?

Happy Friday! It’s finally here. This week has been a real kick-in-the-pants for me. I’m so far behind on reading blogs and cleaning house and doing laundry…. I may never get caught up. But you know, I don’t really care at that the moment. I’m just happy to have made it to Friday. And yes, [...]
