So today was Eastern Colorado, Kansas and just into Missouri. All along, we had been expecting brown and never-ending flat when we drove through Kansas. And parts of it were like that, as was Eastern Colorado….flat and green and brown for as far as you can see — which out there, is about 20 miles [...]

Halfway there…

Good morning from Aurora, Colorado, where the mountains are beautiful, but there was more flat farmland than we were anticipating. I think I somehow expected the entire state to be mountains lol.

Yesterday we began packing up the truck and our life, trying to make it all fit into a space no longer than 8′ long (we would get charged extra for going over 8′). Tim, poor boy, had to load the truck virtually by himself. Our friend Steve was great about coming by, helping with the [...]

The line was slow, giving me plenty of time to [...]

So, it’s been more than a month since I posted last. Last time I checked I hadn’t fallen off the face of the earth, but it’s been a whirlwind here.
Since I last posted, I went to visit North Carolina and liked it. The area felt like home, more so than Portland ever has. While I [...]
The joys of wheels

The other day, Lisa and I went rollerskating for 18+ night at Oaks Park. It was so much fun, and being on wheels makes me happy. It reminds me of how I was almost always on skates when I was younger. And it was fun to skate to music, not recorded organ music.
One of the [...]
