September 11, 2026 Yellowstone National Park Today is a solemn day. I remember vividly that I was starting my first day of work at a new church 25 years ago. Before turning into the parking lot I heard on the news that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. My first thoughts thatContinue reading “YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK”

MY FINAL DAY IN ROME MAY 15 – THE LAST LATE POST FROM ITALY
The Way of St. Francis May 15, 2026 Rome Miles walked I’m sitting in a little church. Definitely not one of the big basilicas that dot the streets of Rome. This one is more modest and there are less than 20 people visiting it. Some come to visit or like the young man in frontContinue reading “MY FINAL DAY IN ROME MAY 15 – THE LAST LATE POST FROM ITALY”
THE PRE PRE CAMINO
Monday, August 28, 2023 We arrived in Paris on Saturday, August 26 for three nights. We’re visiting with my cousin; she is quite elderly. Whenever I’m in Europe I make a point to go and visit her. When we’re on the same side of the Atlantic it’s practically like being in the same neighborhood. TomorrowContinue reading “THE PRE PRE CAMINO”
THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD 🚂
Only two more days until we leave to walk the Camino Frances a third time. I notice that I’m highly aware of every ache, pain, and twinge that my body is feeling. And I get concerned. I’ve seen my share of injured pilgrims along the Camino, many of them younger and in better shape thanContinue reading “THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD 🚂”
AN UPDATE
There’s an old saying, “The best laid plans often go awry”. Or for the more religious minded, “If you want to make God laugh, make plans”. I had planned to re-post all the posts from my first Camino in 2019. I’m about to embark on my third Camino and I wanted to reflect on theContinue reading “AN UPDATE”
CATCHUP TIME
June 14, 2023 Dear Fellow Pilgrims, I have been writing this blog since early 2019 before I walked my first camino in September/October 2019. Along the way I made a lot of “digital” mistakes, but I have discovered better ways of designing my site, learned how to add pictures, link to other pages, and more.Continue reading “CATCHUP TIME”
RETURNING TO CAMINO
June 6, 2023 Every day I feel as though I am on Camino. I look at the challenges and blessings that come into my life as events that shape who I am. I am grateful for the knowledge that I am still becoming. I have potential and these caminos guide me along a growth path.Continue reading “RETURNING TO CAMINO”
THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 2
How to pack for a Recliner Camino For my first camino in 2019 I spent months carefully selecting all the items I thought I would need. Clothes were bought and returned, backpacks tried on, multiple pairs of shoes were tried on from several stores. Gadgets that I’d never heard about were tested out. Glen andContinue reading “THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 2”
THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 1
I have been thinking about friends I met on the Camino and remembering how many of them sustained injuries. Ankles, knees, backs, all have fallen prey to falls, over use, improper footwear, and more. I think about this because I tripped on a sidewalk and fractured my right knee and my left wrist. my husbandContinue reading “THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 1”
WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that IContinue reading “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”
