Hi there! This last couple of weeks has seen T and I continuing with construction help, getting plenty sweaty and dirty! 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….

Travelling Light?
This past week saw T and I taking some time off and really not doing much of anything for the most of it. That’s so unlike us, but we both were feeling a bit under the weather for a majority of it. We mainly focused on taking care of each other, played lots of games…
Waiting
A few weeks ago I was struggling to come up with what I wanted to share with the group for devotional. I went back and forth between several different topics, but nothing felt right to share. One of the other ladies we were serving with said she had just read a devotional about waiting and…
March Gladness
T and I were Group Leaders this month and were given another wonderful group of people to work with. Our work sites were in town rather than the camp where we were parked which was a different scenario for us, but as a group we worked together to get to our destinations every day. The…
Recipes- The Tried and Liked Edition
I have been storing some recipes on my phone with the intent of sharing and they have accumulated just a tad lol. So bear with me as I share a few today with you that we have tried and liked over the last six months that I will definitely be making again or have already…
