We woke to mountain views just beyond the Snake River, not 20 yards from one of our two porches. It was cold, 22 or so, but in my pajama bottoms, tee shirt hoody, and robe I was surprisingly warm enough. We slept in, recovering from our two long days of travel. I had my alarm…

We stayed overnight in a nice hotel in downtown Colorado Springs. It was late and dark for a few hours before we arrived. We know we were in the mountains, climbing up and over along the Colorado border. After leaving the hotel, we rounded a street corner, and boom mountain! I guess we forgot where…

I started this trip off by priming for all the driving. Upon getting home, I picked Amanda and the dogs up, and off to Del Rio, 30 miles away, we went. Friday, we went to Del Rio and back home for chiropractor appointments for the both of us. Then to Uvalde, 40 miles, to pick…

We are excited about our upcoming trip, a road trip that will likely total over 5000 miles. The destination is Yellowstone and Grand Teton Nationals parks, then the San Juan mountains in Colorado. It’s fair to say this will be a mountainous trip. We set out on Saturday, which just so happens to be Amanda’s…

We’d planned to be off not too early on Tuesday but wanted to meet a friend in Dallas around noon. In typical southern fashion my aunt couldn’t let us leave hungry even though I’d told her we don’t eat breakfast! Fried eggs toast and jam, I’d already been bad so what the heck. I had…

We both slept in Monday but I got up a bit before Amanda. I went outside by the pool to write on a post looking for a dog to pet. My aunt is a dog lover and helps rescue them. She’s always had a ton since I was little, at one time up to 15…

We left early Sunday morning headed for north Louisiana to stay with my aunt and uncle for a couple nights. On the way out we stopped by an overlook I’d been wanting to see. The concierge said you could see for 50 miles on a clear day. I think we must have stopped at the…

Now I’m a couple days behind but I have caught up on a little sleep at least, even if I haven’t caught up on posting. Saturday we didn’t get up as quickly as we had for bear day, both of us were dragging. It was another double Starbucks morning. We had been considering the extra…

Well if follow us on social media you’ve seen “her”. A tribute to Amanda’s donor, our photo prop turned travel companion. It’s a framed wood base with a metal heart and wings with “Becasue of an Organ Donor on it” and Amanda’s transplant date. We’ve toted her everywhere snapping pictures as we go. It’s been…
