I am about to fly around the world. That idea is still sinking in because I never could have dreamed of taking a trip like this. Thailand? Really? I am a homebody by nature. I love trips, but I love home the most. Distant lands have only been pictures in my mind, never stamps on … Continue reading I’m Off

Winter Walk
It is white in White County today. The snow from yesterday mostly melted, but was replaced with a fresh blanket this morning. Stepping into my snow boots I decided to take a walk into the quiet. I love it you know…that fresh and clean look that makes every picture look like a black and white … Continue reading Winter Walk
The Lonely Loaf
“Tell us Papa! Tell us!” “Okay my children.

What’s With the Purple?
I had no idea it was World Cancer Day, and somehow I completely missed the fact that I was supposed to wear purple.

The latest is the winter storm in Atlanta that stranded thousands of people on the highways. People are blaming the governor, the mayor, and the DOT for … Continue reading Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20
Milk and Bread…and Peanut Butter
For all my non-southern friends...better known as Yankees… You laugh at us, heck even I laugh at us, but there is a reason southerners run to the store for milk and bread at the mention of winter weather. It is the Ice Storm of 1973. I was born and raised in Atlanta. Therefore I am … Continue reading Milk and Bread…and Peanut Butter
Dear Racers
We knew when you signed up for this race that there would be adventure. And adventure, by definition has danger included within it; otherwise it wouldn’t be adventure. In fact, the reason many of us, as parents struggled to send you all the way around the world, was specifically because of the danger. We knew … Continue reading Dear Racers
