Rock or Sand?
The foolish man built his house upon the sand. The wise man built his house upon the rock. The Coulsons bought a house that is perched on a man-made flat spot half way up a hill. Hmmm. Sand or rock? Not sure now and we are having our doubts. Clean up on St Croix since … Continue reading
Back home again!
This has been a difficult week. When the wheels of our plane touched the ground on St. Croix last Monday, the passengers broke into applause. It was a plane load full of people just like us. People who love and live on the island, but who had been away for the hurricanes. The lady in … Continue reading
…and our vacation from retirement ends for this year!
We are going home on Monday! The St. Croix airport opened on Thursday, and we have reservations for Monday, so God willing, we will be home by late afternoon. Yay! Since our flight to Miami leaves at 6 am and we’ll be traveling all day, I’m posting my blog today. We’ve spent four months and … Continue reading

Holding on
There is so much to be thankful for. Life every day is a gift. The fact that our friends and neighbors and our house on St Croix are fine, though battered and bruised, is a blessing beyond belief. The fact that we just lived a wonderful four months of travel and friends and family and … Continue reading

Let me quickly catch you up… we left south eastern Wyoming and traversed the state on our way to Cody for the Wyoming State Historical Society awards luncheon. On our way, we got … Continue reading
Hope and Trust
This morning we packed up all our camping gear and ‘broke camp’ up in the mountains for the last time this summer. I feel a little sad, we’ve had such fun exploring the nooks and crannys in the Sierra Madres. I will admit, I’m a bit tired of being dirty and dusty from riding, and … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Karl!
Thursday is my husband’s birthday. I haven’t bought him a present. It’s not that I haven’t thought of it, but we’ve been in the mountains, away from shopping, and honestly, we’ve come to the point in our lives where we don’t actually need or want a whole lot and what we do need or want, … Continue reading
A sermon in the eclipse
Like millions of others, this week I watched a full eclipse of the sun. At mid-day. I’ll admit to feeling anxious this morning. We teased that it seems like such a normal day, maybe the scientists were pulling off a monumental prank and nothing would happen. Then, through the cool glasses I got for free … Continue reading
Elk and Moose and Deer, Oh My!
In previous posts I’ve written about deer and antelope, so it isn’t a surprise to anyone that I admire them. In fact, I’ve realized this summer that one of the things I love most about camping is those moments when I encounter wildlife. We’ve just come down out of the Sierra Madre Mountains after a … Continue reading
