Divine Appointment
God does indeed move in mysterious ways. In fact, the scriptures tell us that His ways are past finding out. This blog entry is about one of those times! As we left the…
Are you kids OK?
She was a middle-aged woman, approaching us while we were cleaning up after our breakfast in a local park in Morro Bay, CA. Her greeting, however, caught us by surprise…
Redwood Giants.. . . WOW! (part 2)
When we thought that we had pretty much covered the Redwoods, we found that we had really only begun. The Redwoods to the south of the national park were actually bigger…
Redwood Giants.. . . WOW! (part 1)
Bonnie and I have heard from “our youth up” about the Redwood trees and how big they grow. They actually are taller than the giant Sequoya trees but they are only half…
Mt. St. Helens
After driving close to 60 miles, once near the National Park, we arrive at the Johnston Ridge Observatory Visitor Center, almost directly in front of the North face of…
Living Legends and Deadwood
Strange title, but it fits. Living Legend regards the monument to presidents that made an impact on our country and Deadwood is a gold rush town that went bust. A visit…

Chicago and Robie House

While Bonnie and I have been working for the past several weeks on Madalynne’s new living quarters, we’ve been a little negligent with our blog posts. So, I’d like to…
Proverbs 16:18
Hmmmm….I wonder what is meant by that reference? I suppose it has something to do with a lesson learned, or something like that. Well, you’re right! It’s about a lesson…
Juniper Springs Adventure!
Remember that line from the old TV show, 3-2-1 Contact—“The Tropics are HOT?” Ahhh, not so much. It was even cold in Miami this week. But after waiting in Ocala for…
With Family in Homestead
Homestead, Florida is a good place to be right now (mid-February). The weather is delightful this time of year, and cooler than we expected. We’re spending about ten…
