When I was growing up there was only 1 real way to have your photograph taken while on vacation. Ask a nearby, fellow tourist to take up your film bearing device and snap a shot. If you were lucky it would turn out halfway decent. A bit later in life, there came along the timer…
This post is sad, this post is short, for my Dell has died with ‘nar a report. This post has no pictures, this post is no fun, I’ll travel to my mom’s to write another one. This post isn’t centered, I can’t seem to check, it’s written on my phone and I’m not a tech. …
I am known as a chicken who likes to fly the coop every so often, so when I had the chance to visit Austin for the weekend I jumped at the opportunity. It wasn’t a traditional funky, weird Austin style get-away but fun just the same. I played creeper in the night by taking pictures…

Every year, during the latter part of October, my family makes the 17 hour journey to the state of Colorado in hot pursuit of the wapiti. Not only do we take ourselves, we take a friend or two plus 6 horses, 2 canvas wall tents, 2 wood burning stoves, as many coolers are we can…
Today was a special day! My little sister, who has been globe-trotting for about 5 years, flitted down at home base for awhile and came to walk with me. I rarely take people with me when I walk, and have never taken another adult, so I made sure she knew how lucky she was! (that…
Texas is a big state. The biggest of the lower 48 to be exact. So when one makes the decision to visit Texas they must also decide which part of Texas to focus their visit on. Do you want to see wild turkeys, deer, windmills, blue bonnets and white roads? Head towards the middle. Canyons,…
