We rolled into Loyd Park on Friday afternoon, laptops in tow, and wrapped up our workday remotely with the sounds of nature replacing the usual office hum. The Texas summer was in full swing with its high heat and even higher humidity, but the shade of the trees and the promise of a good meal…
We headed to Loyd Park for the long July Fourth weekend, hoping for a few days of rest and renewal. Because our home fridge was on the fritz, we packed up most of its contents to keep in our Airstream fridge until the home unit could be repaired. Yet even as we tried to settle…
As the first weekend of summer rolled into North Texas, we made our way to Loyd Park for a seasonably warm weekend. After setting up, we finished our work week before imbibing in Date Night cocktails. We toasted Cliff’s successful completion of a WGU Academy certificate course on artificial intelligence before turning to the grill,…
After a quiet start to a warm weekend, we awoke to a huge headline on the landing page of The New York Times: “U.S. Enters War Against Iran.” Well, that places everything in perspective. Suddenly, the problem Jon was having with his iPhone didn’t seem as relevant. In the dozen or so years that we’ve…
We met some fellow Airstreamers this weekend who had traveled to Texas from California. As we typically do when meeting people for the first time, we started sharing stories about ourselves and our adventures. The stories we tell about ourselves come from our own experiences, but over time some have been embellished for comedic effect,…
In discussing the purpose of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John XXIII famously said it would open the windows of the Church to let in a little fresh air. Last week, as the balcony doors opened and Pope Leo XIV stepped out to greet the throngs gathered in the square below, the fresh air seemed…
Our weekender began with rounds of rain, flashes of lightning, and rumbles of thunder. We managed to set up between the raindrops, but decided to spend our Date Night indoors, considering the cold-front chill that settled in for the night. Chef Cliff grilled a tenderloin steak to perfection, which we enjoyed with our favorite Carnivore…
The death of Jon’s mother earlier this month, while sad, was not unexpected. For the better part of the past two years we have traveled monthly to stay with her for several days at a time, sacrificing our regular camping life along the way. Now it’s time for us to recalibrate our camping life, directing…
We chose the weekend of the winter solstice for our monthly camp-out. Despite the weekend having the shortest day of the year (only 10 hours of daylight), we enjoyed relatively mild temperatures and calm conditions. In addition to enjoying an excellent Date Night steak, accompanied by a 2021 Treana Cabernet Savignon, and a crackling campfire…
We decided to camp out the weekend before Election Day, for both expected and unanticipated reasons. We expected that, by this time in the 2024 campaign season, we would be eager to tune out the relentless barrage of political ads. But we hadn’t anticipated needing the weekend to familiarize ourselves with our new tow vehicle:…
