Our theme song, for the next two weeks: Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again.
🎶 “One, two, a one, two, three, four—
On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again . . .
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again . . .
makin’ music with my friends . . .” 🎶
Eastern Oregon, this trip, with a few other couples and a fourteen-week-old puppy.
I won’t be writing much, if at all, but will send pics. You’ll find the first few below.
Meanwhile, this week’s winner in the third and final week of the SUGAR BIRDS GIVEAWAY is TRACY WIRICK! Congratulations, Tracy! Please send me your mailing address, and I’ll ship a copy of the book to you as soon as we get home.
May God hold you all close this week, wherever you ramble.

A rainy day visit from a female Anna’s Hummingbird, right outside my study window. I was slogging through revisions.
I closed my computer to watch—and decided to copy her.
“Drink deeply of God’s Spirit . . . . Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.”

So love your hummingbird picture and reference from Ephesians 5:19.
When I see a hummingbird get deep into the flower for its nourishment I see myself needing to get deep into God’s Word for spiritual nourishment! Thank you for your inspiration!
