February 24, 2024 It takes a good deal of work to create these posts. The majority of my time is spent in preparing, describing, and labeling the images.

And then… Continue reading The Church in the Wildwood

Last Adventure of 2023
December 31, 2023 We had intended to explore a route through part of the Davy Crockett National Forest today, but I didn’t want to have to drive that far for what would turn out to be a fairly short loop through the woods. So, we instead opted to drive some of our favorite roads in… Continue reading Last Adventure of 2023
Metal Menagerie
Sometimes during our explorations, Kristi and I will run across some form of giant metal artwork on display. Many of these make sense in their context: a statue of a famous person, the mascot of a business, or art on display in an outdoor gallery. But every now and then we’ll find something that someone… Continue reading Metal Menagerie

Site Troubles
I have a couple of posts that I want to write but have not had the time or energy to dedicate to them. On top of that, all of the theglasgowfamily.org sites have been periodically going offline since the middle of October. I have contacted Bluehost technical support several times and, each time, have been… Continue reading Site Troubles
Moscow, Locomotives, and a Rainbow

Then, inevitably, the question arises, “What do you want to do next?” Today was such… Continue reading Moscow, Locomotives, and a Rainbow
4-C Mill
July 22, 2023 For the past month or so we have been “cooped up” in the house dealing with the Three Ws again. Unable to bear another weekend sitting in front of the TV watching YouTube videos all day long, we decided to make an unplanned trip and just see where it would lead. Long… Continue reading 4-C Mill
