Last night Garth and I visited the rainiest city in the continental United States to take part in the Mardi Gras celebrations of the first city to celebrate it in the US: Mobile, AL. We parked right next to the parade route (which made for great fun when it was time to leave) and Garth [...]

Saturday I had the pleasure of eating in four different cities. I had cereal and yogurt in Spokane, WA. Asagio toasted bagel with cream cheese and cranberry juice was had in Seattle, WA. Houston, TX found me eating a Schlotzky’s sandwich and Smoothie King smoothie. Garth took me out to eat and the Olive Garden [...]

good morning loves. Shortly I will be traveling to the airport to begin my 10-plus-hour journey to Pensacola, FL. I’ve packed up 20 years of journals (30-something in all) into a large suitcase and a box to be checked on to the plane. They’ll ride in it’s belly, as Jack rides in mine. The more [...]

Garth got a bee stuck in his helmet on the way home from Alabama the other day. It’s certainly not the most exciting thing to happen in recent days, but it’s the only thing that I doodled about on my Sacrament meeting program. I’m packing this morning for Spokane, WA. I’ll be visiting my family [...]
