35: snap shots
Dear Friend,  This is the last day of November, 2025. Where are you today? What are you up to? How are you and yours? We hope that (as much as possible) you are where you wish to be, doing what you wish to do, and that everyone is happy and healthy!  Frank and I have been making our way south in Nevada along highway 93 through the Great Basin. It’s turning out to be sort of a reconnaissance journey, a chance to experience snap shots of the area. We’ll definitely return at a

34: and Wild Horses
Dear Friend,  We’re writing from Nevada, it’s the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Frank and I will be on our own this year, at least as far as table settings go, but we will be thinking of our loved ones, Friends and family, including you.  We’re grateful for you.  Families come in all sorts of packages. We recently met this group of wild horses, they were together every time we saw them, couldn’t that mean that they’re a family?  Frank and I both love animals. It is a major

33: including wild burros
Dear Friend,  Happy Birthday! Oh, it’s not today? Well, perhaps you can celebrate anyway, and if you make some happy wishes, may they all come true!  How has your world been the past two weeks? We hope that you and yours have been doing well. (My apologies for missing another couple of postings to you).  We were dog/house sitting and enjoyed our stay with Miss M while her people were on vacation. She’s a Sweetie-Pie English Yellow Labrador Retriever with a great sense of

32: A Place to Be
Dear Friend,  Where has your week taken you? I don’t necessarily mean geographically. Obviously, you’ve come quite far in your lifetime, whether you’ve left your hometown, or not. Would you agree that by adapting to newness, a form of travel has undeniably happened, change has occurred, and sometimes there is ‘no going back?’  When I recall the beginning of last week, it feels like a year ago. A lot has changed for Frank and me but it’s nothing that you’d notice just lookin

31: Fall Colors
Dear Friend,  Thank you for being here to read this week’s Tracks. As I mentioned last week, in this letter we are sharing a small collection of Frank’s 2025 Autumn photos.  In the following paragraphs of this letter, Frank describes what Fall Colors mean to him:  I have been drawn to the changing of the leaves like a moth to a flame. For many years of my life I have seen Autumn as a great reminder of the promise of winter, the celebration of color and light. The threshold
