Every day, all day, our 15 year old son asks, “What’s for dinner?” Grant it, it gets annoying, but we think it’s his way of saying, “I love you.” At least I hope that’s what it means. Eating while traveling can be difficult or fun. For us, it’s part of the draw. It’s the challenge,…

Anticipation
Today is my birthday. It’s also a day we have anticipated for months – it’s a travel day. Fraught with tension, wondering if anything has been forgotten or left undone. We think too hard. We think hard about the days yet experienced, only a glimpse of a direction in our minds. Our plans fall on…

Kaye and Roy were so kind and really knew their subjects. And, yes, Kaye you made me tear up a little. You watch a short video that makes you understand what…
Wanderlust
Wanderlust settles in me like a too tight favorite jacket. I’m excited about wearing it, but it pinches all the same. School wraps up this week and the countdown begins.
