Welcome to my weekly update for July 10, 2022! My husband and I spent last weekend in Helena, the state capital of Montana. We took a boat tour of the “Gates of the Mountains,” a small canyon on the Missouri River that was named by Merriwether Lewis. We didn’t intend to follow so heavily in […]
Weekly Update for July 3, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for July 3, 2022! Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! The current political situation makes this one feel…Bittersweet? Ironic? Fraught? but I hope you still spend time safely celebrating with your loved ones. We’ve had a busy week. I reported in my last update that the southern loop of […]
Weekly Update for June 26, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for June 26, 2022! The employees and volunteers at Yellowstone National Park seem to be in the business of performing miracles. If you stopped by last week or if you’ve paid much attention to the news, you’ll know that Yellowstone was completely closed due to devastating floods. I’m glad no […]
Weekly Update for June 19, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for June 19, 2022! Well. I assume all of you have seen the catastrophic flooding in Yellowstone National Park and the communities just north of it. Yellowstone is the biggest reason we chose to spend the summer in Montana with my husband’s job. As I write this on Thursday, park […]
Weekly Update for June 12, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for June 12, 2022! Two weeks in a row–I’m on a roll! Last week, our adventures took a historical turn. We visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, which you might know better as the site of Custer’s Last Stand. I thought the park service did a great job of […]
Weekly Update for June 5, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for June 5, 2022! Well, I thought I was getting back into the swing of blogging a couple of weeks ago but I was obviously wrong. Maybe this will be my week! We visited Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and were surprised by how beautiful it is! Seeveral wild horses […]
Weekly Update for May 22, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for May 22, 2022! Whew! It’s been a busy six weeks. Since my last update on April 3, we had some repair work done on our RV (we stay in it while my husband is working at different hospitals around the country). We had to move into an Extended Stay […]
Weekly Update for April 3, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for April 3, 2022! We had a nice visit with my husband’s parents last weekend and then my sister came down to visit this weekend. As I write this on Friday afternoon, she’s working from our RV so we haven’t gone out to explore yet. I have some ideas for […]
Weekly Update for March 27, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for March 27, 2022! I didn’t think I would read much this week since I was getting ready for my in-laws to visit but all that cleaning left me plenty of time to rip through audiobooks. Add in a couple of books that I was almost finished with last week, […]
Weekly Update for March 20, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for March 20, 2022! We decided to spend last weekend in Columbia, SC. It’s the capital of the state, but–most appealing to me–it’s also next door to Congaree National Park. We’ve visited national parks in Alaska and Hawaii but we’ve never visited this park, located only about three hours away […]
Weekly Update for March 13, 2022
Welcome to my weekly update for March 13, 2022! My aunt and uncle visited us for three days last week and we had such a good time with them. We all love to travel so that’s fun to discuss. But most importantly, we’ve barely seen them since 2019? Maybe late 2018? We had them all […]
