National Monuments and Parks are the theme for my You Capture this week. Just so you know, any of these pictures could have been taken by me or Larry.  We both took a lot of pictures that week and it's impossible to tell who took it.   These aren't "new" pictures that we took just this week, but they are pictures that fit the category we were assigned.  First up is Crazy Horse....

If you are thinking about heading to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, you won't regret it.  When we went, I checked online to see what resort/hotel would be the best fit and best price for our family.  We had never heard of the Wilderness Resort, but I discovered that it is FABULOUS!  I called 3 different resorts in the area and the Wilderness staff was very friendly.  They have man...

Did you notice that I stopped posting for a while?  I was on vacation.  A sweet glorious vacation.  We drove from Indiana to Wyoming (through Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado) then through South Dakota (for sight seeing) to Minnesota and Wisconsin.  We didn't do much in IL, IA, NE, MN, or WI....just drove.  We went to Colorado because neither of us had ever been...no...

I was just reading something in which the author named their top 10 for various categories.Here is my Top 10 Places I Have Visited: (in no particular order)10. Washington DC--It was great to visit there, but I'd love to go back now that I'm more mature.  I know I could appreciate the beauty and history MUCH more now than I did when I was 11.9.  Mt. McKinley -- Again, I was young when we ...

So we are leaving in 3 weeks for vacation to Wyoming.  We are going to see my cousins Nate and Hidie and their kids.  Dalton will get to play with their 3 kids (Hey Wyatt, Carson, and Morgan!).  Colton will get loved on by everyone.  It will be a good visit.  [If you were noting the names listed above, yes, we have a thing for Wild West names.  Let's move on now]On ou...

Have you ever wanted to be somewhere different but didn't know where?  My husband has always wanted to live where his closest neighbor is a distance away.  And distance doesn't mean fifteen feet.  Our neighbor's house right now is about 12 feet from our house.  That's NOT far enough. We are going to Wyoming in August on vacation.  We are excited to be somewhere that is les...
