The last three weekends we’ve tried to spend as much time as possible in Southern Indiana helping James and Shel on their house.  I love that type of work and have really enjoyed the time there.  However I received an email from Jim Berning asking for volunteers to help with the construction of the first…

It is with a heavy heart today that I think about God finishing the chapter about our dear Granddaughter’s time here on earth. 8 months is such a short time for her to have made such an impact on our lives. Of course we are very saddened by the loss that we’ve experienced but the…

Early in the weekend I was thinking of making a post on the fourth stating that  Maggs, Macy, Georgia and I were the only ones in our immediate family that are still in Indiana to celebrate the holiday.  Well….they didn’t do much celebrating.  Between the thundershowers and the fireworks they spent pretty much the whole…

When you’re in Fairbanks, Alaska and you decide to take a road trip your choices of where to go are pretty limited.  There are only three roads that will take you out of town.  One goes to the Southeast, one goes North, and one goes Southwest.  The guys in this VW took the Southeast route…

Earlier I posted about how people liked bragging about the size of things up here and I forgot to post this picture. She was a pretty BIG Storyteller with some TALL tales to tell.

The sign says “Larger Than Life” and believe me every thing in the Yukon is just that. They have these huge pans for panning gold. Which led to me finding this huge gold nugget. I know some folks from the lower 48 like to think that Texas has bragging rights about everything being big, but…
