Life as a Yowler

Our week of being disconnected is over. Believe it or not, I enjoyed our week. The thing about Texas is it’s so huge. There’s so much variety. We have stayed places like Houston and San Antonio, where there are endless activities to do. Then you have the sticks of Texas. I really mean the sticks.…

We are now headed into the Hill Country of Texas. We will be without cell phone coverage and internet. I might as well be living among the Amish, like my relatives. Brandon did point out to me that I’ll still have electricity, running water, movies, books, playing cards, and deodorant. Yesterday, while at Bass Pro…

We had fun at the playground last evening. Caed was still traumatized from our previous incident. He refused to ride the swings without wearing a helmet. 🤣 Caed is my timid child that’s for sure. The poor guy felt so guilty for hurting Isla. I’ve explained to him 100 times it wasn’t his fault. She…

We are staying at the same KOA that Isla cracked her head open at last year. So I don’t have the most awesome memories here. I saw the exact swing that hit her and that whole memory came flooding back to me. It was the blue one. She went running right behind it, as Caed…

      We got lots of outdoor time today. We started the day with a walk. Brandon had two store trainings today. We drove to Haverteys(where he did his trainings). We learned the hard way that the Havertey’s parking lot was too small for us to park. We drove over several curbs and experienced…

We drove for 5.5 hours from Little Rock to Dallas. The drive was fairly uneventful until our windshield wiper fell off right during a downpour of rain. Luckily, it didn’t detach completely. It flew around the corner and was hanging by a thread. There was a Loves gas station up the road a few miles.…

We had the best time at our stay in Little Rock, on our drive to Texas. We visited our friends, the Shupes. We picked up our van(which they were borrowing since they hit a deer while visiting Michigan). We stayed for five days. We crammed a lot into those five days, but at the same…

We had a minor tragedy, that could have been much worse, to start off this trip. I was unloading last minute food items this morning. I was walking them from the suburban to the motor home(which was parked inside the shop). We had the battery plugged in and charging. I noticed smoke and smelled something…

Here we go again. We leave tomorrow morning for another motor home trip. Our time at home has gone quickly. It’s been relaxing and refreshing. I always have mixed feeling before leaving. I am sad to leave behind friends and family. I am excited to make more memories, and this time of year I’m excited…

I’ve really been slacking in the blogging department. That makes it nearly impossible to catch up on everything that’s been going on the last month or so. I’ll have to do what I’ve done in the past, which is write out a recap list(in no particular order). So here goes….. 1. 3am(two nights ago) we…
