  • Summer 2022 Mini-Trip

Good choice! 7-10-2022… Read more: Summer 2022 Mini-Trip
  • God Created All Things and Called It Good
    God Created All Things and Called It Good Sorting through some of the papers I stashed away for later use in my craft room cubbies, I came across this essay.

  • Magnolia Beach TX
    Best campsite ever! Or, at least that was Dave’s comment when we first arrived at Magnolia Beach.

We could walk the 15 feet to the shoreline easily and yet were not… Read more: Magnolia Beach TX
