Welcome to the Man Crew House! A place where you'll find laughter, home education, random silliness, fresh baked bread, Jesus...And BOYS. All boys, all the time. Every. Single. Day. I live in the Testoster-ZONE. *grins*
A brilliant friend of mine called her new boyfriend a 'gentleman savage' on Facebook this week, and it struck a chord in me. It...

Friends, it would appear that after nearly 25 years of marriage, Dan and I have found (or re-found, as the case may be) the shared hobby of motorcycle riding together. So, I'm letting you all know in advance that there will most likely be many, MANY 'Riding with Hercules' and 'The View From Here' posts here and on FB in the future, for which I will make zero apologies. This victory is hard earned and a long time in coming. Thank you for your understanding. If these posts don't thrill you, that's okay, I don't mind. But it is filling me with a ridiculous amount of joy, which I intend to completely over-share with reckless abandon.

Happy Birthday, Dan! I love you to the moon and back. I hope your day is as awesome as can be!
Today was a sweet day. Breakfast out with Handsome Hercules at a local brunch place I love, the house got clean, I was available to pick up the adventurous youngsters when their tire blew out while off-roading, I had time to read, and hang out, and spend time with people I enjoy, plus Game Night was a blast. I even chatted with all 4 of my boys today. Can’t ask for too much more than that. Stay-Cation for the win.

I'll add updates and/or cross things off so we can all track my progress this year.
I have many goals this year after a few years of actively doing less and I'm rearing to go. I'll add this list in the coming days and then offer a once a month update post.

~Read the whole Bible this year. I'm using the YouVersion app to help me do this in a timely fashion. Doing great on this
~Pray from a list Yes!
~Attend Church and Community Group either in person or virtually, as Corona allows.




My plan for today was to get up early, get all my housekeeping tasks out of the way before noon, and then spend the afternoon hiking Dripping Springs, followed by a relaxing evening at home with Hercules and Slick.
