Tuesday February 25, 2025 A postcard shipped inside of newspaper. The recipient of this postcard in the UK shared an interest for World War II postcards.

๐ค Postcards, Wake Up Bots & A Dead Stuffed Toy

Monday July 22nd, 2024 Woo hoo! I finally caught up on the blog last night. I always meant for this to be a “Write about your day.” kind of thing, but life is hard. Moving is hard. Selling you car is hard. But we’re moved, the car is sold and we’re back in business, baby! Continue reading

๐ฐ Circle Words I Like? – Wreck This Journal

Sunday January 28th, 2024. 11:57 pm. Austin, Texas. Clear night sky. 46ยฐ F (8ยฐ C). It was almost a potato day, a day without adventure.

Friday Nov 11 Much journal wrecking happened on this day. Behold. Really snapped the spine on this one.

Butts. Smells Continue reading

๐A Weekend of Parks pt. 6 Ham Radios

When leaving the last park Lake Arrowhead I didn’t have a plan for where to visit after attempting to find the underwater town (which I did not find) and so I pulled over for a moment to research where to visit next.
