slaDE~ and I had planned to leave early morning, making our way through Texas along scenic US90, perhaps making it through to El Paso in one day. But fate had other ideas in mind. You see, Barbie the new Mother goat, died this morning, along with her first born who succumbed to this fate shortly…
It’s been a fun week of living on the farm, experiencing the joys of birth and the lows of flooding. Exploration beyond our corralled walls was actually contained to a minimum from our usual convention of adventurous exploration, flying by the seat of our pants. The expansion this week came from within, delving into the…
The day was gorgeous and the skies were crisp, clear and a robin’s egg blue in colour. Such a nice change from the rampant rain here lately. The morning was spent playing with the newborn goats and helping to clean up the muddy mess within Kara’s house. You see, they have 3 dogs and 2…
The downpour continues, and with it, whistling gusting strong winds rocking our Airstream back and forth. Kinda scary considering that our trailer weighs around 10,000 pounds! With the choice of either puddle jumping or internet surfing, I chose the latter and spent a productive morning and afternoon doing what I love most: internet research and…
Although it was a drizzly foggy day, Kara felt spurred by the thought of visiting both the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers. With a early and bright morning smile, Kara knocked on our door and kick-started our day with a cheer and a roar of excitement. And then we were off, exploring the Comal River via…
And so the rain begins. A good day to sit down and read a book, watch some movies and just spend time talking with Kara. The idea of joining Team ‘Hotflash’ as a possibility was thrown my way. WOW! Not quite sure how to make that happen, but just thinking about such a prospect leaves…
Waking up to the sounds of Fighter jet planes was not something I expected in the middle of the country. With a training base close by, the thought of going for a ride in one of those military puppies had me dreaming of high speed flight! 😉 Instead, the day held other forms of excitement….
It’s so strange and kind of surreal to find ourselves picking up again, moving on. For the first time in a very long time, settling down at Skydive Houston actually felt like coming home. So many positive experiences in such a short stay has left me wanting to nest and set up a home base in…
Another night with no electricity and thus no heat leaves me hankering for the balmy temperatures of the tropics right now. But soon enough, we’ll be leaving Texas and heading west towards sunny California, with a stop at Skydive Arizona along the way (can you say Wind Tunnel??!). Our time here the past month has…
