Road Trippin' March Throwback by karen Ruhl

March is the beginning of the budding season in many places. The cherry tree below is in our front yard. It brings us smiles every year as the cherry blossoms come to life.

While driving not far from home, we see the sites of the farms and animals. We usually spot new calves or colts and enjoy the older barns and how well they are maintained.

It is our hope and prayer that we can take a road trip in March for our April Issue. Get out there and enjoy this beautiful place God created for us!

We live in the foothills of The Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Driving around town or almost anywhere in the county, brings views of more foothills or the mountains themselves.

As I look through my photos, I realize that we have been so blessed to visit so many mountains and landmarks across the United States. Each place we visit has its own personality and beauty.

We can not encourage you enough to take time to be with your family and travel when and where you can. Sometimes we are reminded that time is shorter than we think. Blessings to you all. - Karen
