Our week in DFW was full of fun (well, for one of us, at least.) Sunday-drive up. We got a late start, but got there just fine. The hotel next to Emil’s class building was really nice. The only thing we missed was a mini-fridge. Monday-While Emil had his first day of class, complete with [...]

On our second day of Christmas, we: sleep in just a little (until about 9am), and then Mom finished a few meal and gift preparations while Emil ran all the virus and software updates on her computer and got the printer working, again, before we headed “over the river and through the woods” (not really) [...]

The weather has been so nice for camping that we took a little trip over to Smithville, Texas and stayed at Buecher State Park. As always, Emil planned the perfect little getaway for us.
