It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, but I also just had the privilege of spending a week with her during our youth trip to Montreat. And in all of the ways, the trip did not disappoint. Of note, in a regular minivan packed with 10 youth and two adults, there’s aContinue reading “Self-esteem boosters with Sarah”

#TBT: A bit of a quiet year
In an ideal world, one where I had loads of free time and keeping this blog up and running was my full-time (or at least part-time) job, I’d have posted a lot more this year. It wasn’t for lack of trying, or lack of things happening to write about. In fact it was the opposite.Continue reading “#TBT: A bit of a quiet year”
Just one more
Times Square in New York City is probably the only place I know of/have ever been that makes you want to stand in the center of it and spin around with your arms up in the air and a big smile on your face. Just like they do in the movies and on TV. IContinue reading “Just one more”
28 hours in NYC

Best Week Ever. Part 2.
Things you would have told me 10 years ago I’d be doing and I wouldn’t have believed: Chaperoning six teenagers on an overseas trip for eight days and having one of the best times of my life in the process. But it happened. You see, this summer I decided to be real nice and IContinue reading “Best Week Ever. Part 2.”
BAHSTEN, part II
If you do nothing else, at all, in Boston, make sure you make a stop at Mike’s Pastry for a cannoli. When we went there, the first night in town, we were in line in front of a couple who had come straight there from the airport. They had their rolling suitcases with them andContinue reading “BAHSTEN, part II”
Slowvannah ramblings
On tours we went on down in Savannah, they referred to the city by a different name: Slowvannah. ‘Cause things move slower in the south. I’ll pause while you do whatever you need to with that last sentence. Ready? OK. We learned the reason for Monday morning call-ins is often the “Slowvannah Flu.” And weContinue reading “Slowvannah ramblings”
