Our Second 25 years

Our second 25 years began on March 4, 2003.

For the first 25 years, we didn't have a bucket list, in fact, we didn't have a list at all.

Our lists were grocery lists, check off lists for camping, list for other activities we were involved with. Honey do list!

Business trips, at least twice a year gave hubby and I a short get-a-way allowing us to see some sights as well.

After my illness in 2000, then a sentimental journey with the parents through Hospice, when 2003 arrived with the celebration of our 25th Anniversary we were ready to start taking time to travel more. So, in 2004 we bought a new to us trailer. We renewed our season tickets to NASCAR and set out to create some memorable moments along the way.

I began capturing it as much as possible! Saving those memories was my goal. The pictures tell so many stories.

Blogging entered the picture in 2007 (private), and by 2009 I went public and started sharing the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly. Being as vague as possible at times, and sometimes I didn't hold my thoughts back.

Our Journey Through LIFE took a BIG change back in 2012. Instead of sharing our struggles, it was time to share our JOY! That led us to the purchase of a brand new trailer in 2014.

As the list grew of things we did, we didn't really have a list of things we wanted to do.

It was time to make one!

It's become quite a list. (In no particular order)
