THE END

Most people have viewed and experienced the 2020 pandemic as traumatic - understandably so in many cases.

For myself, aside from the little annoyances of the pandemic like finding toilet paper and dealing with that ridiculous mask, I've had the best year I've had in a few years.

My first little grandbaby, Luke came into the world in February of 2020 and in January of 2020 we bought our "forever home" close to the trails where I always dreamed of being.

The year has been good to us. We've all remained healthy, despite the fact that we've been leading our lives as sane, normal people the whole year...eating in restaurants, going shopping, traveling out of town, visiting with family, etc.

All that said, I have decided to end my blog posts. Since we have moved I keep myself a lot busier with life and don't really have much time anymore for detailed posts about our lives...not that I think anyone even reads my blog anymore, but for those who have been interested enough in my life and it's goings on through the last decade or so, I will keep my blog open, you just won't see any more posts.

I have been uploading my photos onto Instagram though, so if you'd like to follow along in pics, here is my Instagram link.

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year. 

Peace Out, 

Laura

Belton Birthday

 For Toby's birthday this year we headed to Belton, Texas. It's a cute little city nearby Lake Belton.

The heat was intense, but we still managed to walk around and enjoy the sites of the city...













We also visited the Bell County Museum...




I'm no Black Lives Matter proponent, but I'm pretty sure during this time it was very unsettling for a person of color and they probably knew what real racism looked like...


This display was in a glassed in area outside of the museum, so with the glass glare it was hard to get a decent picture...


Next, we headed to check out the lake...













The birthday boy standing under the biggest Cottonwood Tree I've ever seen....


It was a fun day and a short drive away. We plan on exploring more of the area when it cools off a bit.

Walnut Creek

Yesterday Toby and I went on a walk on Walnut Creek. It was an interesting walk, a new portion of the trail we had never been on. To break of the monotony of a trail we like to sometimes explore the little splinter trails off of the main trail. It usually never disappoints.


The creek was not as dry as we expected it to be, it's usually bone dry by this time of year...
















Interesting, creepy little thing tucked away in a tree...


 

Here are a couple of pics from my morning trail walks...
