What About Beth?
One of our neighbors was recently chatting with Tim asking about our trailer and our travel plans. Tim explained what we are hoping to do in 2021 (still under COVID restrictions). Our neighbor asked, “Ok, but what about Beth? Is she on board with this?

Thankful for the Holidays!
2020 holiday season sure looks different. Much like the March-October feeling of days/weeks/months blending into one loooooooong day, we find our holidays are doing something similar.

Long Road Ahead
It’s going to be a long road. The March 11 declaration of a pandemic due to the novel coronavirus (COVID19) has brought our country and our world to a slow crawl. #stayhome orders have curtailed travel, shuttered businesses, closed schools, exhausted our medical personnel and supplies and ushered in what will undoubtedly become a #newnormal. Yes, #shelterinplace puts our plans…
