I snuck back to Carolyn’s house in the morning to have breakfast just her and I. She showed me a beautiful scrapbook our church had made for her, and a book of poems published by a friend, and we chatted and enjoyed a beautiful brunch on her patio. We spent some time in prayer, and […]

We grabbed breakfast from our hotel in Sioux City, and packed up while the kids watched some cartoons. They love hotels since they can usually watch while we all relax in the morning. Lover worked, and then we got on the road. Lover took a half day so that we would arrive in Minneapolis with

The Holiday Inn we stayed in was serving breakfast, so we all grabbed breakfast and lounged in our room until checkout time. Then we got on the road and I drove for a couple of hours through beautiful Nebraska while Luke worked. We stopped for lunch and a work call in a little Nebraska town,

Today was another travel day. We videoed with Lover’s parents in the morning, then hit the road right at checkout and drove another 6 hours. We’re tired of driving! 🙂 Lover and I worked on plotting out book 3 of the Hurricane Chronicles, and also our novella. The kids watched the new movie, and we
