True Adventures

I am back, trying to think of what I want to post on the blog next. When I opened the blog this morning I looked at the title: ADVENTURES UP NORTH. Yes, Karen and I started this blog to have a journal of our RV travels. Our intention was to chronicle our travels and describe all the things that excited us about the beauty and history of the places we visited. We had two years of RVing before Karen died and for the past two summers, I have taken the trailer out on my own. I do plan to post more of the travels we had and the ones that I have done on my own.

Then I looked at the right side of the blog in the archive section. Here, my most recent blogs were about things like: Taking care of cats, watching it snow, getting ready for Christmas, making snowmen, out standing in our field, etc. etc. Are these things ADVENTURES??? Well, not in the sense that we originally intended. But as I re-read them, yes they are--at least to me anyway. I want to make these entries as a tribute and a memorial to Karen. We tried to make every day an adventure here in Butte. It didn't matter if it was just a walk around town, a drive out on some prairie trails in the Jeep, a quick fishing trip to the local lake one evening, or watching and talking about the changes we noticed as we drove the 32 miles to church every Sunday.

So if any of you are so inclined, keep checking in and I will continue to post things from the past as well as the things that I have been up to. These stories will not be in any particular order. I will probably be jumping around, forth and back and picking out stories here and there. But they will be a tribute a Karen who brought me back here to her original home. It is home to me now too, for which I thank God everyday.
