Daily Prompts: 2025 February 13

What were your parents doing at your age?

Unfortunately my dad at my current age was no longer among the living. He passed on to the next life in Heaven at the age of sixty-seven (67) and seven (7) months. If he’d lived longer he would be taking photos and traveling with my mom to places around the United States of America.

My mom would have been a widow of two and one-half (2 1/2) years. She would have been dealing with grief and going through my dad’s belongings and deciding what to keep, what to sell, and what to give away. She would have been working as a secretary for a church office and teaching a Sunday school class. She would have also taken her dream trip to Alaska via a cruise ship and touring various places in Alaska. She would have continued to read her daily devotions and read her romance fiction novels.

2025 Daily Prompts: February 12

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

There is something on my “to-do list” that has been a dream of mine since 2019 or maybe even earlier. The one thing that if ever possible ( which so far hasn’t been) would be to travel across the United States tent camping in State and National Parks in each of the forty-eight contiguous U.S. states.

As I imagined traveling through the various contiguous states I hoped I would be able to visit relatives in some of those states, like Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Texas, Nevada, and California to name a few. I have wanted to visit family gravesites for my ancestors and pay my respects even to those I have never actually met in person, but only know about via family connections and ancestral research.

I would have the time now except for the fact that my daughter relies on me to watch and care for my grandson while she works. The one thing I’m not sure about is the transportation ( I currently do not have my own vehicle). I have considered traveling by train across America getting on and off at specific destinations (or as close as I could possibly get). This may or may not occur, but it is still on my “to-do list” of things I would like to see happen.

2025 Bloganuary Daily Prompt – January 24 (Posting on 02/09)

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

U. S. National Whitewater Center

The U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina has the largest the world’s largest manmade whitewater river and has outdoor activities all year long. Besides the Whitewater River area, the Center also has 1,300 acres of protected woodlands along the Catawba River. No matter your preference, the Whitewater Center offers a wide range of recreational opportunities to intrigue your interest for a
fantabulous experience in the great outdoors.

I have not done many water sports since my younger more limber and flexible days of my youth. What does perk my interests in visiting the U.S. National Whitewater Center are the forty (40) miles of trails designed for mountain biking and trail racing. You don’t have to ride a mountain bike or race on the trails to enjoy them. The 40+ miles of trails are a great opportunity for hikers as well. The trails are shared by hikers, runners, and bikers at all times.

 The trails are natural surface and wind across the 1,300 acre woods of the Center.  The trails run along the Catawba River and through hardwood and pine forests. The use of the trails are free not requiring an access pass, however, the Whitewater Center does charge $12 for a day parking pass and $40 for an annual parking pass.

I think Coleman and I would enjoy hikers some of the various trails at the Whitewater Center given the opportunity for warmer weather, costs and transportation to and from the Center.
