Check out the 
We took an unplanned mini road trip over the summer to visit two of our three daughters and their families. We went on roads we’d never traveled before and found more great places to revisit, including Great Basin National Park and the Loneliest Road in America. Check out the 
In September, our youngest daughter, April, got married to her best friend and love, Alex, at a wedding venue that definitely reflected their love of camping and the great out doors. I guess you could say that a love for the Beauty and Wonder of God’s creation lives within this family. Yes!
As this year comes to a close, I am grateful for all that has come before and for all that continues into the new year. Our Movie Discussion Group (MDG) will be continuing. If you have not already watched seasons 1 & 2 of The Chosen, we invite you to join us as we progress through those seasons. The Chosen is releasing new episodes from season 3 each week into 2023.
