It had been near the top of our list for… Continue reading The Enchanted Path

Chalk Cemetery Road

Old Bryan Road
September 29, 2024 Kristi wanted smoked pork chops, and since it would take hours to procure, prepare, and smoke our own, we decided to take the easy route and visit Woody’s Smokehouse in Centerville, Texas, the seat of Leon County.

So, we instead opted to drive some of our favorite roads in… Continue reading Last Adventure of 2023

Searching for Bigfoot
December 9, 2023 The Universe is a mysterious place. Even in this technologically advanced age, there are still a lot of things that we do not know or understand. For example, is there intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe? What is the nature of consciousness and how does it work? Also, where did my mother’s… Continue reading Searching for Bigfoot
