From Start to Finish by (not Tamera) but Joe Alexander

February 18, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

A year ago, my husband, Joe, felt a strong nudge to begin writing down some of his—and our—family history for our grandchildren, Leo and Ari. As he wrote, he found himself sharing lessons he hopes to one day teach each of them himself, Lord willing.

Doors, doors, and more doors

June 4, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

When you travel, do you have a specific item you take pictures of? For me? It's doors. I love doors. Especially doors in Europe. They seem to have so much more character that the "routine" American entry way. Here are some pictures from a recent trip Joe and I took. And the last pic holds a teeny weeny clue as to what part of the world we were in. :) See if you can … [Read more...]
