“Our phones haven’t been ringing. I guess we didn’t win the Vax-a-Million. I feel like being able to travel like this is winning, though.” We were both vaxxed against Covid prior to the lottery being announced, but it was a nice perk to dream of winning a pile of cash, and it seems to have […]

Snow
Ack! I need another bonus day. Well actually I guess I’m entering the midst of a few bonus days. I was supposed to be off to the Big Apple tomorrow, but now I’m not. A fortuitous occurrence, especially since I always underestimate how much recovery time I need following our annual retreat. I’m sure I’m […]
California Dreaming
Are you singing it with me? I had to learn that song on the Hammond organ as a child. #JennIsSoCool The leaves aren’t brown with a gray sky quite yet, but the oppressive 90 deg F temperatures I returned to in Ohio are predicted to go bye-bye after today. Praise Jesus. And no, I don’t […]
Ragamuffin & Beyond
My next two travel excursions are Rich Mullins’ fault. For that matter, so was last weekend’s day trip. I drove to see a girl in Frozen Jr. who, in terms of acting and singing ability, aged about ten years in the couple of months since her last performance. I probably would never have met her […]

Bonus points will be awarded to those aware of how to pronounce Djibouti, those who know Djibouti is a country, and those who know where Djibouti is. Last […]
The Bare Necessities
This post’s title might make you think of this song, which isn’t a bad thing. I’ve been singing it in my head for days. What inspired it, though, was last weekend’s road trip. I piled into the car at 8am Saturday with my sister and our dad. We really only needed two of us, but […]
You Should Travel
On the road again … ding ding ding ding … Well not quite yet. I didn’t travel far today. I’m in my go to undisclosed location. Uber Jack knows how to find me. I didn’t expect to spend as much time as I have this past week on travel planning, but autumn adventures await. Other […]
The Fairy Trail
Are you familiar with the fairy garden trend? Even though I avoid Pinterest, it’s still difficult to ignore the cute little figurines and accessories intended to be placed amongst the foliage and moss in people’s flower gardens. To be honest, I may someday end up with a fairy garden, but thus far it hasn’t risen […]
