Almost Home

I had an interesting experience back in October. Jeri and I stayed in a hotel while our travel trailer was receiving maintenance service.  After we retrieved it, towed it to a campground, and set up camp I turned to Jeri and said, "It feels  good to be home." How odd!

Reflecting on it, I surprised myself in feeling "at home" in our travel trailer,  instead of  feeling "at home" in our "permanent" house in Montevallo,  Alabama. I suppose the shift in "home" space crept over me gradually throughout the months we have lived in the travel trailer.

Currently, we are spending a few weeks in the Birmingham, Alabama, area, keeping appointments with our dentist and doctors, and anticipating a happy Christmas celebration with our sons, their families,  and friends.

Jeri is spreading Christmas cheer here.
Roger, not so much...this is the picture of myself that I posted on my new doctor's registration page. (I was referred to yet another specialist. Don't ask.)

Tip of the Mitt and Beyond

 We camp for several days in Benzonia, Michigan, as indicated here: Nearby Frankfort is a delight to us. So are several communities around Northwest Michigan that we visit. We spend a lovely Sunday afternoon at the city beach in Beulah, Michigan. Then we break camp and tow to Saint Ignace, Michigan, where we plan to camp for a couple of weeks. It's our first opportunity to view Lake Huron. The truck needed an oil change, so we drive to Cheboygan, Michigan, and get that job done. Then we kick around town, see a few sights, and eat lunch, before driving back to Saint Ignace, across the Mackinac Bridge. Jeri and the Crib Light at Cheboygan We meet a couple from Slapout, Alabama, at the Cheboygan Crib Light, and we talk with them for a while. We run into one another again later in the day at a restaurant. What a coincidence; what a blessing! Saint Ignace endears, however, Roger falls ill with a summer cold. We'll take it slowly until strength is regained. We view the fireworks disp

Not Enough Words Here

Friends, there are not enough words to describe the natural beauty we encounter in nature and in the people we meet. That's partly the reason for inserting pictures in this blog, we suppose, but there aren't enough pictures to communicate the beauty, dignity, and worth we encounter everywhere, in everything and everyone, all the time. A lot happens that never can be posted here. Then, too, we are somewhat hindered by technology. Just look... Our laptop is literally held together with duct tape. That's an excuse for not posting more, but we are going with it for now. Since the last post, we have camped in Colorado, New Mexico, and today, Oklahoma. Next up: Arkansas, Mississippi, then Alabama--our home state--for a couple of weeks. Since you are reading this, please know we appreciate you, are grateful for you, and bless you.
