I’ve been posting photos recently from the month-long road trip we took around the U.S. this summer. Most of the posts begin with an introductory blurb that says we traveled more than 7,000 miles on our trip. As it turns out, it was actually almost 8,000 miles. My husband took a photograph of the odometerContinue reading “8,000 Miles”

Day 12: California Coast
We spent a month this summer on a 7,957-mile road trip across the country, from the Washington, D.C., area to California and back.

Junior Year: More Dorm Pics
Yesterday we helped our son move into his dorm, and I posted before-and-after photos of his bedroom. Today I’m posting a few more photos.

But I’mContinue reading “Almost Back to School”

Throwback Thursday: Class Photo
Visiting my father and stepmother a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to be invited to take anything I wanted from several boxes of old photographs. I love this photo, which had “Bart’s class” scrawled on it in my grandmother’s handwriting. Sure enough, I recognized my dad in the first row, third from the left.Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Class Photo”
