Christmas Parade!
Saturday was the Vista Christmas Parade. We were in the Simbah’s Doghouse Group. Simbahs is Belle and Zion’s groomer. Here is a little recap of the day!
Mo’s Birthday Party (s)
Mo turned 70 the other day (Sunday to be exact). Sandi gave a surprise party for him, but someone spilled the beans. So she planned a second, smaller party the day before…both ended up being big parties. Mike and I were completely pooped after attending both of them! It sure was a lot of fun … Read more
Just a Brief Doggie video
Just a little something to let you know I’m still here! I’m still going to put together some more of these files… I just took a little break!

The Home Stretch
Hi friends, We’re holed up here near Magic Mountain tonight. Michael wants to see Jody and Troy and maybe Josh from our band tomorrow. Aaron and Gwen might get lunch with us since they’re flying down to Hollywood to spend the weekend with Alexis (a forever-friend of mine since 4th grade). Hope that works out. … Read more
A Day In San Francisco
Dan and Lisa have been my friends for nearly as long as I can remember. We figured out today that it’s been 20 years. Now the kids are grown and we look back together. Well, Dan and Lisa’s kids aren’t quite out of the nest yet…almost. We went to dinner with Aaron and Gwen, Brian … Read more
Children Are A Gift From God
A new baby! A new addition to the circle of people we love! Little Lucas Carver Nachtigal was born on Friday, August 8th. he weighed 8 and a half pounds. Lucas is as big and healthy and content as you could ever hope a baby to be! (you’re getting great big pictures today, better to … Read more
A Day With Jill and Justine
I don’t think anyone would disagree that we have lost a time of innocence, where family was forever, fathers were loyal to their wives and children, women felt secure in their husbands’ love and didn’t wonder if they were ‘fulfilled’. No, today we live in a world of people who are taught, from an early … Read more
Babies and Road Trips
Alright folks, brace yourself, I’ve been writing on and off during the day during our drive, and it’s gotten a bit lengthy.
Rexburg, Idaho
How better to enrich your soul than to walk back to where you came from and look around! Things don’t always work out exactly like we planned, but somehow, they turn out just like they’re supposed to. We had the day planned one way, and it ended up another. I guess God had His own … Read more
A Day In Yellowstone
It was a long drive today. About 400 miles. I’ll have to put together all the video clips and get it posted tomorrow though. I woke up with this awful headache today, I think from the altitude? Anyway, I was not going to let it ruin my day in Yellowstone! Of course, it hit it’s … Read more
Green River
Here we are in Green River, Wyoming. First I want to share some pics of the scenery from the entire drive today! Ye-ep, purdy exciting! Here we are, holed up in Green River, Wyoming. (look that one up on your map!) LOL It’s raining and stormy, and we just got off the road when we … Read more
The Long Road To Denver (with Yoder Video from yesterday)
Ok, I got our Yoder video put together and posted here. I’m struggling along with a little piece of video editing software I found, learning as I go, so there aren’t any nice smooth transitions or anything else nice and impressive. It was enough of an effort to just get all the clips into one … Read more
A Day in Yoder!
What a big and eventful day! It’s so late now and we have to be up and on the road in the morning though, so I don’t have time to download videos and pics. We spent the afternoon in Yoder, Kansas. Yoder is an Amish community, but are happy to have the “English” come and … Read more
Quiet Day Goes To Rant
This was a nice, relaxing day. I got up thinking I’d get some laundry done, but that never happened. We just mozied around, headed over to George and Teresa’s house, and visited with George. Teresa was at Bingo! She loves Bingo. :o) After a bit, it was decided that I should make a run for … Read more
Family and The Good Ol Days
So what, you might wonder, do a group of brothers, 2 in their 50’s and one 60, once renowned in their home town of Hutchison, Kansas as the hell-raisers who led a generation into rebellious antics and wild living back in the sixties, talk about when they get together after many long years apart? Zion … Read more
Day 3 in Hutchinson, Kansas
David and Laurie with their two kids came in yesterday (Brogan and London), just in time to meet us at IHop. We spent the afternoon at George and Teresa’s house, where Zion peed on the floor not once, but twice. So embarrassing. They have two little dogs, so the only thing we could figure was … Read more
Long Road, Cows and a big Cross
Not much in the way of events today. Lots of land, and more land, and pretty rocks, and more land, and cows, and land, and then a big giant Cross. Says it’s the biggest one in this hemisphere. I’ll put up the video shot of it if I have time. We’re almost in Oklahoma City. … Read more
