It is -6 degrees today where we live in Crete, Nebraska. Church was cancelled. We’re still in our jammies. And we’re not going outside. Instead, we’re pouring a second cup of coffee, cranking the heat up, and reminiscing about some of our favorite...

When science writer Trudy Bell said to never let anyone convince me that 99% of the sun covered was the same as totality, I didn’t know what to think. She then went on to say, “It’s 1% of the sun’s surface, but it’s 100% of the...

We had a fantastic day in Cozumel, Mexico, on Stev We had a fantastic day in Cozumel, Mexico, on Steve’s birthday. We rented a cabana for the day on a beach in Chankanaab Park. Our private area included a cabana with padded benches and a table, lounge chairs, a covered bed, hammock, and picnic table. Our wonderful server, Dalia, brought us food and drinks that we ordered from a menu. we also indulged in 30 minute massages at a nearby cabana which was perfect for relaxing while listening to the ocean. They also had complimentary snorkel gear available and we enjoyed swimming in the ocean. Even though it’s pretty hot here this time of year, it was a nice way to spend part of the day. We plan to come back to this place when we return to Cozumel on our group cruise in January. Our next Postcard Jar Friends Cruise will be to the Western Caribbean on the Celebrity Reflection in January 2025. We still have a few cabins available if you would like to join us! Just send us a DM if you would like more information . #cozumel #chankanaab #chankanaabpark #cabana #celebritybeyond #celebritycruises #beachday #cozumelmexico #cozumelmexico🇲🇽 #cozumel✨ #cruising #groupcruise

Ann worked really hard on her physical therapy fol Ann worked really hard on her physical therapy following her total knee replacement in hopes of being able to walk up the gangway for our Caribbean cruise. She did it! Her PT will continue this week while we are at sea. The crew on the ship have been super helpful with accommodating her needs. They brought extra pillows for elevating, a cooler of ice for filing her ice bag, we are always happy to help out wherever needed. After staying home for so many weeks, post surgery, it feels great for both of us to get out the house and travel again. #totalkneereplacementrecovery #totalkneereplacement #totalkneereplacementsurgery #totalkneereplacementjourney #tkr #physicaltherapy #cruising #gangway #caribbeancruise #celebritybeyond i
🎂 Please join us in wishing our daughter, @megh 🎂 Please join us in wishing our daughter, @meghan_ks , a HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TODAY! This first photo was shortly after Meghan was born by a photographer friend who was there to help me through lamaze (yep, it worked) and labor. I was young, single, far away from home, and working as a sports writer at a newspaper in Anderson, S.C. at the time. I didn’t have much money, so there was no bassinet when we came home from hospital. Instead, Meghan she slept in a drawer from my dresser, padded with blankets, stacked on top of a cardboard box and held in place with a suitcase near my bed. I was 24 years old, broke, single, and absolutely terrified of having and caring for a newborn baby and raising her on my own. When I got pregnant, I listened to deluge of everyone’s concerns and suggestions. I considered all my options. I knew the statistics of raising a child on my own were not great. I chose to become a single mom. Over the years, we’ve been surrounded with friends, family, colleagues, church members, teachers, mentors, and neighbors who loved us both and provided the support and encouragement we both needed. It was not an easy road, but we made it. She made it. Today, she is a debt-free, responsible, caring friend, 4th grade Sunday school teacher, world traveler, exceptional coupon finder, and cardiac ICU nurse at the Mayo Clinic. She has (literally) saved lives, given back to the communities in which she’s lived, and led others to Christ. I can’t imagine my life or this world without her. I could not be more proud of incredible woman Meghan has become and more blessed by a wonderful husband who came into our lives 14 years ago and with whom we can share our experiences. Today, more than ever, I’m thankful to all of the people who have touched Meghan’s life over these three decades. You know who you are. You made a huge difference in my life and in hers. Let’s celebrate that and the beautiful girl that came into all our lives 30 years ago today. Oh, and Go Big Red! ❤️🏈🌽 We love you, Meghan. -Mom #singleparent #singleparenting #singlemoms #30thbirthday #singleparentsupport #singleparenttravel
🎉 Woke up today to see our 250th consecutive ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on @Airbnb! (Click through these slides to see a few of them.) If you’re new here, we have a home in Pawhuska, Okla. called @postcardplce that we share on Airbnb when we’re not there. We’ve hosted more than 1,000 solo travelers, couples, friends, and multigenerational families from at least 38 states since we opened our home to guests in 2019. There is absolutely no way we could reach this milestone without the help of our amazing housekeepers, Jaimie and Kim (and past housekeepers Jen and Castanya) and our yard maintenance, house maintenance, painter, fern waterer and wisdom giver Gio. We’ve also received incredible support from other local businesses, the @pawhuskachamber, Osage Laundry, and so many friends and awesome neighbors. Thank you all for your help making Postcard Place such a special place for our guests and visitors to Pawhuska. To check availability and book your stay, just type “Postcard Place” in the comments section below. #postcardplace #airbnb #vacationrental #pawhuska #pawhuskaoklahoma #pawhuskaok #pawhuskachamberofcommerce #thepioneerwoman #pwmercantile #travelok
#AD Are you already starting to dread the icy stin #AD Are you already starting to dread the icy sting of winter? ❄️ Then do something about it! Book a Caribbean cruise with @hollandamericaline today and have something relaxing (and warm) to look forward to. 🌞🕶️🏝️ Last year, while there was still frost on our windshield, Holland America Line hosted us aboard their beautiful ship Nieuw Statendam for a glorious Caribbean cruise. It was just what we needed to escape Old Man Winter. We were pampered with personalized service from the moment we stepped on board, and we dined like royalty in beautiful restaurants. Best of all, we did some island hopping, where we explored by bicycle, took a tour by jeep, and relaxed in hammocks with frozen drinks in hand at HAL’s private island, Half Moon Cay. Holland America Line has dozens of intriguing Caribbean itineraries with a great Labor Day Deal!

📸 Each year on our wedding anniversary (Aug. 27 📸 Each year on our wedding anniversary (Aug. 27 makes 13 years) we take a photo of ourselves holding the photo that we took the year before. It has been a wonderful way to commemorate our special day and celebrate our marriage. Every photograph represents a little something different - times of joy and sorrow, sickness and health, plenty and want. This year - a total knee replacement for Ann!🦿 We were both single for a very long time and didn’t find each other and marry until we were 38 and 42 years old. Every year is a blessing and our marriage is still the journey of a lifetime. Be sure to save this reel and share it with someone you know who is getting married soon. #postcardjar #anniversary #lovestory #anniversaryphotos #anniversaries #anniversaryphotoideas #weddinganniversary #weddinganniversary❤️ #anniversaries #healthyliving #13thanniversary #anniversaryphotoinspiration #anniversaryphotoshoot
