But before I share our news, first things first. I hope you all had a glorious Thanksgiving…..we sure did. Howie’s niece, Nikki, lives about 1.5 hours north of where we are. She and her husband, Steve, graciously invited us to their home for a wonderful dinner with all of Steve’s family. It was a realContinue reading “We have BIG news………”

First, I apologize for taking so long to write….seems we’ve settled into the lazy daze of retirement and we really haven’t been doing anything too exciting to write about! Howie might disagree since I gave in and we went out and got a Dish for Junebug so we can now enjoy watching our favorite TVContinue reading “Sweet Home Alabama……”

This is actually our second time here. I didn’t think it would be a place that I would care for but the culture is so different and interesting. It’s a party for your senses! You can’t escape the sounds of the city from boats passing by on the water to the steady clip clop ofContinue reading “Have you ever been to New Orleans??”

So here’s how it happened…….it was the night before leaving St. Louis and Howie was browsing the internet looking for things to see in Arkansas.

Yep, you’re right……we’re in St. Louis!!!! Yesterday we went to the Cahokia Indian Mounds and much to my surprise, it was VERY interesting! The museum is phenomenal! Howie is a big history buff but I think I enjoyed it just as much as I’ve always had a big interest in the native Americans. We spentContinue reading “Here’s your clue……”

Beside, selling the house, we also made a big change…..we traded in Lady Bug! After just a few trips, it quickly became evident that towing a car with a tow dolly, just wasn’t for us! It would take about 45 minutes to get the car hooked up correctly and involved an “old man” (Howie’s nowContinue reading “Saying goodbye and hello……”

Oh my goodness….what a whirlwind we’ve been living! After receiving an offer on the house, we returned home on September 19th. We packed for three weeks, weeding through too much “stuff” and sorting into motorhome/storage/pitch/sell. All went smoother than we could have imagined even though we were exhausted! We both marveled at God’s hand inContinue reading “Hi, everyone…..we’re back!!”
