Mornings...

If mercies are new every morning, joy comes in the morning, and each day is a fresh start, then why is it so hard to get out of bed?  Mornings are full of surprises and camping can bring some.  Bacon smoke filling the RV, loud machines making smoothies, forgetting to turn off the oven, and taking turns using the bathroom, just a few of the exciting times living life while on the road.  Hmmmmm and I am not even on the road full time as of yet - wonder what other fun morning times hubby and I will encounter? 

Strange, as I write these thoughts, my heart is looking forward to the time when we are full timers.  Working out bathroom schedules, learning to cook on a lower heat so smoke doesn’t fill the RV, living life exploring new places that God has created.  Just feels right.  

As I mentioned above, mornings can be rough for me.  I don’t always want to get out of bed, but something strange happens to me while RVing - I look forward to watching the sunrise, I enjoy sitting outside with my coffee watching how peaceful the world can be and soaking in all that God is doing.  It is quiet, the sky has amazing colors, life feels tranquil - amazing how God starts our day.

His mercies ARE new every morning.  He brings joy every morning.  I love how I can have a fresh start every day.  He is working, He is moving, He is creating, He is alive and He is really waiting to embrace us every moment of every day.  


Thank You, Lord, for every morning You allow us to see, every day You allow us to encounter and every moment You give breath into our lungs.  You are the GREAT I AM and we adore You!

May the Lord give you a blessed morning, every morning!  

God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
