Somewhere…

Sometimes I feel like this… Like I’m driving down a road with no end, not really sure where I am going. The drivers in front of me seem to know their destination and exit the road as needed, but I keep driving. Down a long winding highway knowing it goes somewhere, but not being able to see around each bend or above each valley … Read More Somewhere…

Louisville Zoo…

While on our trip we did a lot of driving to check out land and new places. We also had a day of fun and went to Louisville to the Sluggers Museum and the zoo.

Bush’s- The Bean

While on our anniversary trip (over a month ago now) we stumbled upon a neat museum for Bush’s Baked Beans… There was actually a lot to do  from the cafĂ©, to a movie on the history of Bush’s, to the artifacts and photos of the Bush’s family, to a big can of beans you walk though and see how the canning processing works….  They even had … Read More Bush’s- The Bean

Honking at me…

Hubby and I were out and I finally had my camera when we went by the train tracks… and a train was coming.I stuck my head out the window to get a good shot and the train conductor gave me a few sounds of his whistle… then he waved 🙂 I couldn’t catch him waving in a picture, but it made me smile. Since … Read More Honking at me…

Gratitude… in the mundane of life

This past week hubby and I took some time off after Thanksgiving to put up the Christmas decorations, get the property, chicken coop, house, etc ready for the winter, and to get some much needed rest from stress. As I went throughout the week I noticed things we had on our list getting done and I felt a sence of calm and peace about … Read More Gratitude… in the mundane of life

Winter Barn…

One of the roads hubby and I drive on when we just need to get out and drive has this old barn on it. I am not sure what it is about it, but it appeals to my old-time senses. I just can imagine all the crops, animals, people, and season it has seen. What stories it must hold 🙂 It just gives me hope that somewhere there … Read More Winter Barn…

Otter Be Friday

Our Zoo tour continues with one of my two favorite animals… The Otter 🙂 They are so cute and friendly and when I was little I imagined swimming with the otters and being like them. They are so graceful and fast in the water and I have always been fascinated by them. At the DC zoo there are two kinds of otters… The first … Read More Otter Be Friday

I wonder what…

I was looking at this picture the other day and wondered…. What does heaven look like???  This picture was from a trip up in the sky on an airplane. It is peaceful and makes you relaxed as I imagine heaven is. I wondered if this is what the angels or God sees when he looks down from heaven. If so he has a peaceful … Read More I wonder what…
