Randy’s been watching YouTube videos and reading books about Gettysburg for around two years. He was a great guide for the park.

Beautiful landscapes and memorials to our fallen heroes.

The Capitol Building, including a view of the Senate.

The Library of Congress. What an incredible institution.

Treasures of the Smithsonian museums,

Our first day in Washington DC was hot & muggy but so wonderful—an awesome tour of many iconic memorials.

Thought we’d have nice boring days to our campground but a little excitement instead.

Randy likes to use the atlas to plan the routes we’ll try to take.

A poem about light.

Me reading the beautiful poem “Blessing the Body” by Jan Richardson.

God’s gaze

A poem I love.

Perfect form is good, but we need trust!

God decided to love you.

The list, my star rating, and some notes. In 2018 I started trying to keep a count and list of all the books I read in a year, in addition to the longer entries about particular books.
