A Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday
Thanksgiving for me always brings to mind Family Friends Food Thankfulness for the many ways we are Blessed This year we flew to Pennsylvania for 10 days and spent Thanksgiving with my sister and her family as well as mom and dad. We had some interesting flight times. We woke from our beds at 3:00 to catch our 6 a.m.morning special flight and would have spent the rest of the day in a fog except the airlines was kind enough to arrange a 5 hour layover for us in Chicago. So we decided to see if we could get all 6 of us people’s that were flying into the…

The Day I Faced My Dread
Never underestimate the power a picture of a family simply living life together can have on another. Because that’s where it all started for me. You know, most all of us influence somebody by the things that we do, and the way we live, and the things we say. We influence somebody. Somebody is watching your life. — W.M. Branham These pictures of another family made me think. Go ahead & click, I’ll still be here. “You don’t have to be a person of influence to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me.” ―…

I’ve Been Converted
I thought I had it good. I love my travel trailer with its slide-out but I was converted this year. Converted to camping in a canvas wall tent.

What I love about the wall tent. the cozy rustic charm the canvas walls give wood burning stove sleeping accommodations & kitchen under one roof 2 tables can be left in place w/ chairs even when we have our sleeping bags and kitchen set up When I stayed in…

Roughing It for 5 Days
I really don’t even know where to begin. Hunting Camp 2012 is over but the memories just still keep coming on. It was a good year. There were 7 elk tags in the camp and all 7 were filled. We’re all very thankful because we know we have plenty of good healthy meat for the next year. We were so happy for Serenity because she tagged out opening morning. Many times she’s had to hunt all week before she got her’s, so this time she was able to spend more time at camp. I looked at her and thought I saw Annie Oakley but then I looked again and it…

Hunting Camp is Here!
The elk hunting season is here and we’re headed out for another memorable year. It looked like camp was going to be smaller this time (only about 40), but we’re almost up to 60 now. There seems there might be a small hitch in the weather. It seems it wants to rain. Like really bad. 90% chance. Not good, but thankfully we have the wall tent in which we can all gather and a wood burning stove to keep us toasty, games to play and plenty of people to fellowship with. Oh, and food. I think we’ll be alright after all! See you all next week! …
