Never Give Up Stories ROAD TRIP!!

Image
By

Preplanned trips offer an enormous amount of security. Hotels are firm. Routes chosen. Time schedules organized. 

This week we are hitting the road. Those of you who have been with Let's Talk know how much I love to travel.

 We had airline tickets and chose to cancel them, (in time to get our money back). 

 Chuck the routine.

 Toss out the plans.

 Let our hair down and go. 

 We'll collapse the back seats of the minivan for a flat surface. Set up the army cot. Stuff baggage under the cots. Pack the camping stove and hot pot along with groceries. Then take off.




There is something about the thrill of flexibility. We have our destination, AZ. But how we get there, and how long it'll take will be the variable.

 Yeeee Haw!!

 I found out there is a Dorothy house in the western Kansas. I doubt the town is called, Oz. I'd like to stop there. Moon crater is another spot we'd like to check out.

 We're heading southwest. If you have any ideas where we can visit, let me know in the comments. I prefer crazy and different. Not interested in dining, we yank out a Sterno and heat something simple. Restaurants are time hoggers.

I'd like to do some climbing. 


See red rocks.
And maybe, just maybe, get to see the Pacific and the redwoods before we need to return.

 We will hotel along the way. I like picking those as we go. If there are no vacancies, well, we'll just drive on down the road till we find one.

 We don't often have the opportunity for an impulsive trip. This time we are in-between jobs and can't see sittin' the time away.

When our son lived in Topeka, Kansas. We went out to see him three times. We went to Abilene Kansas and went through the Eisenhower home and library. Another time we went to Abilene and rode the old fashioned trail and watched a reenactment of a gunfight.

When we went to Arizona, we went to the Grand Canyon, 4 Corners, Monument Valley, Tucson,(We saw the Seguaro National Park before it was declared to be one,) We had lunch one day in New Mexico. We also saw London Bridge at Lake Havasu City Sedona is interesting. We also went down to Tombstone. Yes, Hubby liked to drive and see what we could while we were there. Enjoy your trip. Prayers for travel mercies.

You've mentioned a few new ideas for us. We did Tombstone, one of the photos above is from there, been to Saguaro National Park...Loved getting lost in there, and have driven through Sedona, but I think there is much more to see there.
Thanks for these ideas!

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

Today we welcome author: Andrea Boeshaar Three commenters will win a copy of Andrea's book:  A Thousand Shall Fall Scroll down to see how. Mary here. Andrea has had an amazing journey. One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Julie Lessman

By
Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality  and has become a sweet friend:  Julie Lessman .   Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. ent...
