finding treasures wherever we go
If you enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, an easy hike at Acton Nature Center is for you. Last week I went there for my hike #2 of the 52 weeks 52 hikes challenge, and I was one of the three people who were there. A guy with his dog came from one side of the trail and they left while I was studying the trail. A lady with her dog arrived when I just started hiking and I felt guilty because I didn’t bring Snoopy with me.
Just a few weeks before end of year, Texas State Parks through their social media channels encouraged people to do the first day hikes at one of their parks. What a good idea to start the new year with an outdoor activity! So, I planned to join others to do first day hikes at the nearest state park. But, with so many things happened over the holiday and my mother and sister were here with us, I sort of forgot about it.
Nobody wanted a flat tire during their holiday trip, but when it took us to Dickens Victorian Village in Cambridge, Ohio, it’s another story. That’s what happened to us on our way home to Texas from Pennsylvania last Thanksgiving holiday.
Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year, and Granbury Living Christmas Cards makes the holiday even merrier. Picture yourself holding a Christmas card and suddenly it becomes alive when a group of people play and sing the scene right in front of you. Or, the famous Christmas story from long time ago is happening right before your eyes. Isn’t that special?
Who wants to experience magical Christmas in small town USA? I do! I always dream to go on a sleigh ride somewhere in the New England, picture with Cowboy Santa, listening to children’s caroling, watching the lighted tractors parading into town, test tasting all kinds of cookies unique to the area, looking at Christmas lights around downtown, and so much more. The dream is long like a kid’s wish list to Santa.
