A couple of weeks ago, I drove behind my baby girl for seven hours to help her move into a dorm for the last time. I’m thankful that the trip was uneventful, but I slaved away on setting up her one-person room for about 10 hours! We did shop for…

The Mayo Clinic Vacation
“Baby Girl” has had a low platelet count all her life, and her primary care physician decided about two years ago to try to figure out why. She’s given tons of blood samples since then and was diagnosed by a local hematologist as having Von Willebrand’s disease. This summer, we…

Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Our middle child graduated from Ole Miss a few weeks ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. We had planned on celebrating with a trip to the U.K. this month, but we now believe the Lord redirected us at the last minute to some place better for our son. Hubby, my…

Chillin’ in Keystone, Frisco, & Breckenridge
Hubby and I got back from Key West, did a day of laundry and clinic work, and traveled to Tupelo, MS, on Friday for a Saturday Bible Quiz tournament. I knew that I was not well by Sunday night. I spent the rest of the week dragging around the house. I tested…

Key West in Winter (Part 2)
Hubby and I had one more day to play in Key West before his conference started in earnest. We decided to walk from Casa Marina, the conference hotel, to Fort Zachery Taylor. In January, with an historic snowfall forecasted for the South (Enzo), Key West was a dream! The day we…

Key West in Winter (Part 1)
A few years ago, hubby’s consulting job drew us to Key Largo in January. We rented a car one afternoon and drove 2 hours on the 7-mile bridge to Key West. The most memorable part of that day was the incredible sunset we watched from Mallory Square. This time, we flew into…

Scruffy Little Knoxville
This post should have been published in November. WordPress failed me on this one and two others! Anyway, about a week after our trip to Savannah, we traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee, on a Friday afternoon. Neither Hubby nor I had been there before, but there was one more conference to attend…

Savannah for the First Time
Hubby’s presence was requested at another conference in October, this time in Savannah, a town we’d not yet visited. As we strolled many of the 22 original green squares, each uniquely designed with its own flora, fauna, and décor, we wondered aloud why we’d never visited before. The first two…

Boston in the Fall (Part 2)
Boston is so pretty in the fall! Hubby and I visited about two weeks before the peak of autumn color, but the first week of October was still a great time to go: the air was crisp, and the smells of pumpkin and spice were wafting from every doorway! On our first…

Boston in the Fall (Part 1)
Hubby had another conference to attend in October, and I was delighted with this one. After listening to Veggie Tales’ The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything for years, I was finally going to see “Boston in the fall!” Hubby and I arrived late afternoon and were installed in a corner room at the…
