A Visit Home: Family, Camping, and an Unexpected Surprise
Sometimes life takes us on trips we didn’t plan. Recently, we made a journey back home to see my dad after his health had declined. It wasn’t the kind of trip you circle on the calendar months in advance, but one that life insists you take. Our main priority was spending time with Dad and Mom, making the most of every moment we had together.
Because of the circumstances, we didn’t have much time to connect with friends. Still, we were grateful to see a few familiar faces along the way. Even brief visits meant a lot during a trip centered on family and health.
One silver lining was being able to enjoy some camping while we were there. After living among the desert sands of New Mexico, it was refreshing to set up camp in a different landscape. Even just a short break surrounded by new scenery gave us a little peace in the middle of an emotional journey.
And as life often works, the trip brought us more than we expected. While we came for family, we also left with an **unexpected surprise** that added a new chapter to our story. Sometimes the hardest journeys carry hidden blessings you never saw coming.
### Takeaway
Trips like this remind us that family comes first. Even when time is short and plans don’t go as expected, the moments shared—and the surprises along the way—are what make the journey meaningful.

Busy Labor Day weekend at Ka-Hoon Campground with community BBQ, camping, and lending a helping hand.
Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend! We don’t have too much planned, but we’re excited to have a bunch of folks from the community over for a BBQ today.
There isn’t much news to report, but we’re definitely enjoying the cooler days. Brent has been busy helping out around the community, which he loves doing. He recently helped a neighbor install a new breaker box and wire in some GFI plugs to support their dialysis machine. He also spent most of the day driving another neighbor, who doesn’t have a vehicle right now, to town for errands and groceries.
We’ve had a nice weekend with campers enjoying the cooler weather. Yesterday, we took some time to fix the solar lights that the cattle love to knock down.
Last night was Anne’s first real shift at Love’s, and she seemed to enjoy it. It was a bit tough on us, as we worried about her working the late shift. Thankfully, a few folks from our community stopped by the store to check on her and then reported back to us, which really helped ease our minds.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
