Birthday parties, snow geese, tundra swans, hidden chapels, old barns, wolves, doggie days, sweetie pies, roses, snow trips-life is full!
It's been awhile since I've chronicled our travels. Boy, have we gotten around. (Photos have captions, if you're interested.)
We've had the good fortune to be able to spend more time with grandkids.
Weekends have found us roaming roads that we have never traveled before. We've found many old churches and little towns in obscure places. Sometimes we had no idea where we were but we figured that if we kept driving, we'd end up somewhere. How I love those Saturday excursions. They never cease to leave us with good memories.
Hubby had a birthday so we took a trip to see the snow geese. Of course there was lots of food and ice cream involved. We never cease to be amazed at the snow geese. It truly is a bucketlist worthy trip for everyone to make at least once in their lifetime. We also found another old chapel on an old country road.
We've always wanted to see the wolf sanctuary and they happened to have just enough room to squeeze us in. And as always, there is always something just odd. I used the smallest bathroom I've ever been in. On the way home, we passed the Sportsmens Show at the PA Farm Show Arena and although we were already exhausted, we stopped so that hubby could get his gun fix.
A few days later was Valentines Day and I received a beautiful bouquet that I put in my grandmother's antique vase and enjoyed for many weeks!
Around my birthday, we traveled over to Black Moshannon to see the tundra swans that were migrating through. You couldn't see them from the observation deck so we found a dirt road and got as close to them as we could and then, forgetting our age, we bushwhacked through 100 yards of blueberry bushes that were over our heads to try to get a gander at the swans. I maxed out the zoom on my phone and managed to get a sorta photo. I don't know what we were thinking at the time but we decided that it isn't something we would ever try again. LOL! On our way back to the car, we found a beaver dam! What a treat! We've always wanted to see beavers in the wild. Unfortunately, they were still sleeping but spring is coming and now we know where they live.

We are excited about what 2023 holds for us. There are many new experiences on the horizon. We found a church that we love. We're making new friends. I'm volunteering for a worldwide ministry and loving it! I'm also adding more freelancing opportunities to my repetroire. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, getting outside, taking photos, walking with my hubby, and traveling wherever the roads might take us.
Life is surely busy but our hearts are also full! We are thankful!
