Month of GratitudeNovember 27, 2019 Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, was a beautiful day so I took some time out to take a few pictures out at Beaverfork and then took a few pictures as we drove down the interstate to south Arkansas.

Month of GratitudeDay 25 Today I am grateful that the girls have both inherited Trever’s and my love of the Christmas season.

Later in elementary school she was part of a Destination Imagination team who always did a challenge that involved a skit and she overcame what was often debilitating shyness to enjoy performing in that
Month of GratitudeDay 21 I ran into my aunt after work at the grocery store yesterday and I was reminded about how fortunate I am to have so much extended family. We usually only all get together once a year around the holidays but my dad and his brothers and sisters all still talk to
Month of GratitudeDay 20 I am not exactly a “country” person. Although I have lived in relatively rural areas most of my life, I have no desire to be outdoorsy or to garden (I kill my porch plants on the regular!) or do many things of a country nature. But the older I get the
