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,…
We arrived on Friday afternoon and quickly set up camp, enabling us to work remotely for the remainder of the day. Date Night cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were followed by a delightfully grilled New York strip with grilled asparagus, baked potato, and a glass of FAT Bastard cabernet. A phone call to our friend Bud…
This weekend, while camping at Loyd Park, we finalized our reservations — yet again — for a long-planned trip to Shenandoah National Park and Washington, D.C. (For the record, the folksong refers to the Missouri River and in most versions of the song the name “Shenandoah” refers to an Indian chief, not the Shenandoah Valley.)…
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…
This weekend’s “Pink Moon” may not have been the smallest, farthest, and faintest full moon of the year, but it was spectacular nonetheless. The weather cooperated in every way, with mild temperatures on Friday, slightly warmer on Saturday, and near-record highs on Sunday. We arrived on Friday afternoon just in time for a service call…
We embarked on our weekend at Loyd Park a bit later than usual, arriving at 5 p.m. on Friday. The evening kicked off with a relaxing cocktail hour, followed by a brief walk to soak in the serene surroundings before indulging in a Date Night dinner of grilled steak, baked potato, and steamed broccoli. Saturday…
