Visiting the Gaylord Texan

So did you hear that I went to Blissdom, and it was held this year in nearby Grapevine, Texas at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Conference Center?  Yeah, well I am notorious for telling about things weeks after they happened.

Did the kids miss Mama?

One of the questions I’ve been asked the most about my going to Peru was, “How did the kids do?”   I hired a nanny, my pastor’s daughter,  to take care of my kids during the day until my husband arrived home from work. Our church family provided meals for Jason and the kids so… [continue reading]

Ceviche and Chicha Morada

Continuing sharing my experiences from my time in Peru with Operation Christmas Child:  Each morning for breakfast there was a wonderful buffet at the hotel.  The first morning I didn’t eat very much.  I felt just a little bit off, probably just nervous.  After breakfast we met as a group for a praise and worship… [continue reading]

Amusing Bathroom Features

My blogger friend Robin has inspired me to look for the humor in bathrooms with his many postings on the subject, not least of which is Top 10 Worst Bathroom Experiences.  While none of these even come close to his experiences, here are some bathroom features that I found amusing in my travels in Peru…. [continue reading]
