Worried about the future of pipelines
Well, 2021 doesn’t seem to be any better than where 2020 left most of us. We have a new President, which was a victory for many but a gut punch for those working in the gas and oil fields. On his first day, President Biden chose to sign an Executive Order putting a stop to the permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. This decision will impact thousands of jobs associated with the construction of the pipeline as well as other opportunities associated according to TC Energy. Leaving a lot of us worried about the future of pipelines. This is beyond frustrating to many, including us. We were hoping to…

Y’all I’m so excited! I finally did it! My book is finished! I wanted to take a second and share 5 steps to push past your inner critic (And let me tell ya, she was loud) that helped me get my book done. I’ve been thinking about writing this book for almost two years now. The actual writing part was finished this winter but I let myself listen to that inner critic. Telling me no one will read it, no one will like it, I don’t know what I’m talking about. ALL the things! Maybe some of those things will be true but I know that I have…

Pipeline Ladies Lunching – An Interview
I wanted to do something a little different this week so I am bringing you an interview conducted with the original creator of Pipeline Ladies Lunching found on Facebook. I’m hoping that you are all still enjoying my posts but I thought it might be nice to hear other women’s perspective so I will try to continue bringing other interviews or guest posts in the future. Kathleen Reagan started a group in 2013 on Facebook specifically for luncheons in hopes of connecting with other pipeline women while traveling with work. To her delight, the group grew quickly helping other traveling families find each other and making time to connect face…

You should be here…the bittersweet side of a traveling family
Today is our son’s first day of Kindergarten and I am sitting here crying like a baby. I’m doing it for all the typical reasons; He’s growing so fast His first experience of school He was nervous (and so am I) But one of the biggest reasons I’m sitting here is because my husband isn’t. He should be here. He is missing out on these big occasions. No, he is not dead. No, he is not in the military. He has something else that keeps him away…the pipeline. Have you heard of it? Probably just the protests, right? A topic for another time. In case you have…

Beacon RV Park – a campground review
CAMPGROUND REVIEW This week I wanted to do something a little different and offer a campground review of a place that we have stayed. Often when we are searching it is hard to gauge what type of park you are reserving. Many websites are very basic with just contact information. Some have no website at all. For my sanity I am going to start in chronological order so (hopefully) I don’t miss anywhere. I’ll focus on lodging for the time being but may expand it in to what types of things are available to do, ease of getting around in a big vehicle, store options, short trips within an hour of…
