  • Thankful to be in the South!

    Escatawpa Hollow Park, AL, March 2026 This last winter seemed like polar vortex after polar vortex. It’s March and yet another Polar vortex with Wisconsin getting between 1 foot and 2 feet of snow. Tonight, the temperature in Wisconsin is supposed to drop to -11. We are enjoying Alabama warm weather. I thought you might…

  • Keeping Up with the Trends

    Escatawpa Hollow State Park, AL, March 2026 Wednesday started with John’s office being invaded by lonely cats. And it ended with frogs and toads raining from the sky. Okay, Okay.

    Grand Teton National Park, WY, June 2025 Kate wanted MORE cancel stamps, so she plotted a convoluted route from Fishing Bridge to Jackson Hole, WY that hit every cancel stamp (that was open) within 100 miles. Maybe it was only 20 miles. We drove down John D. Rockefeller, Jr Memorial Parkway to get from Yellowstone…
