2700 miles of blacktop & 3 time zones in 3 days. We rolled into Windy Ridge at 9:45pm last night. I stumbled through the door and immediately had 7 kids(one was sleeping) crowded around me telling me the events of the last nine days and showing me the treasures they had found. It is so […]
Home Sweet Home
Just a quick post from our hotel room in Rawlins, Wyoming to let you know that we did not drop off the face of the earth in Tennessee. We have been on the road home since Saturday night and hope to sleep in our own bed tonight. That means we will need to drive over 1000 […]
Tonight we lay our heads in Tennessee. 2400 miles travelled, 300 to go. We should reach out destination mid-morning tomorrow. We spent today outrunning severe weather. Kept things exciting. This is what a lightening bolt looks like on the iPhone camera. I had the poor thing gasping as I furiously clicked the button trying to […]
We spent Tuesday driving interstate 80 across Nebraska for miles and miles. Flat and unadorned landscape for hours. Then just when I thought I might die, trees! We spent the evening winding through lush historic farm country. The only photos captured are from my iPhone. We are pulling a trailer full of concrete stuff and Levi isn’t […]
Good Morning from WYOMING. Sunday night we started our 2700 mile road trip to South Carolina. Just me, Levi & our unborn daughter. Off to uncle Jon’s wedding and to visit the southern kinfolk, Levi’s family. We travel bearing gifts of Tillamook cheddar, halibut, uprooted authentic Windy Ridge evergreens and a Vitamin C that you(apparently)can only get in the Pacific Northwest. […]
Violet smiles as her siblings serenade her with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” Two years ago today I was up a 4 am getting ready for an induction appointment. The hospital called and said they didn’t have time after all and they would call when they had a room open. A disappointed Levi went […]
I decided to forgo the self-timer and waddling to and fro. Instead I opted for the self-portrait in the mirror. Which ended up being just as time consuming because my sense of direction is non-existent. rather than belly shots I got this…. and this…. Neither location was anywhere near where my bulging belly was parked. […]
I found him, Anna. I’m sure you have been wondering what happened to him. He arrived at Windy Ridge so late that we didn’t even hear him come in. Who else would drive 12 hours roundtrip for spur-of-the-moment fishing? Besides Benny or Levi.
Halibut season has begun. Something Levi & our 5 sons have been anticipating all year. They have left Windy Ridge for the Pacific ocean and there they shall remain (heart, mind, body & soul) until summer’s end. I have not been out on the ocean with Captain Levi for several reasons: I am deathly afraid of the mighty […]
DON’T DO THIS! Levi’s brother emailed this and I couldn’t resist sharing. Good Morning from Windy Ridge!
