The Lamb Castle 2017

January began with Ocean and Sun

We lived in our trailer in Mazatlán

After 3 months we drove back to the US

Across the south and then North we progressed


US History on the East Coast.

We took our time (In DC the most).

NYC was Ruby Catherine’s Fav

Mama liked riding bikes, the kids were quite brave


April came along and we were missing our peeps.

So we hitched up our home and drove for 2 weeks.

Back in Grand Forks, spring had arrived

So naturally, there was a blizzard outside.


Then North to Alaska- The Last Frontier

We were lucky enough to spend 3 weeks this year.

Elias and Mom hiked the Gold Rush Trails

Dad wrote his dissertation and watched for whales


For 14 months we lived in our trailer,

We were now on the lookout for a home with a neighbor

Seeking out the perfect dwelling

Synchronicity brought us to the one quite compelling


The owners were a bonus feature

It was Mrs. Barrentine, my first grade teacher!

Thirty five years and a thousand miles

The reunion was filled with tears and smies.


Merry Christmas to all from our humble abode:

                             Road

Of our sweet Lizzy we are ever mindful

May God grant us the strength to seek out the delightful.
