It really hasn’t rained since we returned once again to Texas. Right now I feel like celebrating as the rain without any severe weather watches or warnings in sight is gently falling down. I think about my wellies that are stashed under the bed which don’t get much use and want to put them on…

The Tried and Liked Edition #2 (Instant Pot)
T and I replaced the liner in our Instant Pot and since then I have been using it a lot more to help keep the heat down in our little kitchen space and also to help me navigate cooking chicken thighs. We have been buying chicken thighs because of the cheaper cost. Grocery prices don’t…
Return to Texas
The last couple of weeks we wrapped up our time in Colorado soaking in the scenery, enjoying the cooler temperatures especially in the mornings, the late afternoon thunderstorms bringing awesome displays of Gods power and majesty and time with our new friends. The Durango area of Colorado offered us plenty of local non chain restaurants…
Don’t Grow Weary.
Hi friends and family. I know it has been a few weeks since I posted. I have sat down to write and the words just haven’t been coming together. My mind has been muddled and to be honest I have been weary. Weary of things happening in this world, weary of trying to keep relationships…
Colorful Colorado
Higher altitude, scenic drives, more sunny days than rainy, dog friendly, clean good food. These are some of the things I have enjoyed about being back in Colorado.

I have found mixing up and chugging some electrolytes through out the morning on the days we work is helping me make it until lunch. I was finding drinking water just wasn’t enough in…
Welcome Back To Texas!
Nothing says Welcome Back to Texas like Fire Ant stings on my sandaled feet (I really didn’t miss those, they literally feel like fire and take forever…not kidding to go away and a wasp sting on my finger while helping with some landscaping (the little sucker went right through my glove.) Unbelievable! We also experienced…
Okie Days
Our time in Oklahoma seeing family and friends is coming to a close. It has been a wild weather ride so far with many late nights watching the local weather channel, tornado sirens, sheltering in place with strangers, their families and many dogs. Last year we were hit by large hail in April. This might…
Full Circle
The last few weeks T and I have put a few miles on the truck and trailer. We finished up our time in Florida and made the journey back to Oklahoma with a stop in Alabama and three stops in Arkansas before landing at our home for the next three weeks in North Oklahoma City….
