Springtime Adventures

March 24, 2021 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends, Always happy to spend a day with you. It’s springtime, and I’m thrilled! Minus spring allergies, of course.

2020: A Year of . . . Blessings

January 7, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

Living History

December 3, 2020 By Karen Witemeyer

Last month, I met my daughter in Brenham, TX for a girls getaway weekend. We rented a cute little one-room house (over 200 years old!) in nearby Chappell Hill. We watched movies and relaxed a lot (Bethany just started a PhD program at Texas A&M, so relaxation was high on her to-do list), but we also spent Saturday afternoon exploring. One of the places we visited was Washington on the … [Read more...]
