Ramblin' Roads: Weekend Road Trip

http://ramblinroadstoeverywhere.blogspot.com/2015/07/weekend-road-trip.html

Monday, July 13, 2015. We spent all day Friday and Sunday driving so we could be in Nampa, Idaho for my parents' 50th anniversary celebration on Saturday. It took us just over 13 hours to get there. We averaged 66 mph with 5 stops on Friday, so it was a long day in the car. Lyle did all the driving. The girls were content with their earbuds in the back seat. The dog and the guinea pig went along, too, and rode in the back of our Jetta wagon. We put our car-top carrier on for luggage. It was a good trip.

Wednesday, July 8, 2015. This coming weekend my parents and their five children, along with in-laws and grandchildren, will be gathering to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. Which was earlier this spring. In preparation for a day of sharing memories, I've been gathering pictures and scrapbooks and all kinds of memorabilia to take along. As I was getting things together I happened to remember the Granddaddy Tapes. Maybe I should write that book after all. Thats really awesome Karla. It would be ...

Ramblin' Roads: June 2015

http://ramblinroadstoeverywhere.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 25, 2015. As I've mentioned before, we cultivated a lifestyle of learning in our family. We were always eager to take a break from formal schooling for the summer, but the learning never stopped. Mostly, though, our summer learning wasn't even that structured. My husband and I have made it a point to watch for and take advantage of teachable moments as we go about our normal lives. Here are a few of the educational benefits we have discovered while camping:. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. My colle...

Ramblin' Roads: Portrait Photography

http://ramblinroadstoeverywhere.blogspot.com/2015/07/portrait-photography.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. I've skipped a couple days in the Photo Challenge. I was looking forward to doing the assigned Photo Walk over the weekend, but I wanted Lyle to go with me. Since his foot is out of commission. We weren't able to do it. but I'd still like to. Hopefully soon. Today's challenge is Portrait Photography. I haven't done a lot of "portraits" but I did do Rebecca's senior pictures. I love the lighting on this one with the contrasting shadows. This one is not posed, but oh, so fun! July 2...

Ramblin' Roads: The Conversation and Other Matters

http://ramblinroadstoeverywhere.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-conversation-and-other-matters.html

Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Conversation and Other Matters. Rebecca intercepted this exchange in the backyard earlier this week. As "Head of Ranch Security" Cookie is diligent to patrol the premises daily to keep the squirrels and bunnies in line. Happily, we have seen no snakes. So far this year. We have noticed a fox or two and a coyote skulking about the neighborhood late in the evening or early in the morning. Not in our yard, though. You can take a peek while I'm working on it, if you like. Jus...

Ramblin' Roads: And We Call This Health Care

http://ramblinroadstoeverywhere.blogspot.com/2015/07/and-we-call-this-health-care.html

Monday, July 20, 2015. And We Call This Health Care. We rarely go to the doctor. We just don't. We never had health insurance when I was growing up, that I'm aware of. Nor did we have it the first 15 years or so we were married. So we never got in the habit of being doctor-goers. Of course now we are forced to have "affordable" health insurance. Not that we. Can afford it, but our government assures us it's affordable, so it must be. In spite of that, we still don't go to the doctor much. The PA started ...
