Coincidentally, our next door neighbors moved out while we were away. Can you blame them? They were probably tired of looking […]

By the time we pulled into our driveway in Oklahoma, we had put almost 5,500 miles on Susie and her new car smell had been […]

We saved the best for our last weekend in Montana – Glacier National Park! Since we had both taken Friday off from work, we left Billings Thursday evening and drove to Missoula which is about five hours away. On the way, we stopped in Bozeman to grab dinner and discovered that the Sweet Pea Festival […]
