Chasing Seventies has taken on a profound new significance in my life. It transcends mere temperature; it’s a reflection of time’s passage. Having just celebrated my 65th birthday and made the bittersweet decision to retire from teaching, I find myself grappling with an exhilarating yet strange feeling. Transitioning from the daily ritual of rising with…

Crazy Train
This will be a quick post as it’s difficult to write as we are driving. Between the sometimes bumpy road and wicked wind, I feel like I’m going off the rails. We are traveling the Ports to Plains Corridor and heading to Amarillo, TX for the night. The scenery rolls from mountains to plains as…
Time to Fly Away
Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers.

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…
Strolling the Alleyways
2018 Quaint little alleyway between shops in Blowing Rock, NC. When we travel we like to find towns that are unusual. Blowing Rock is very pretty and full of neat shops and restaurants on its Main Street. Strolling along a path such as this creates a sense of stepping back in time and to a place of peace…
