I can’t wait to hear the rest of this story! Now you have to write the book, or we’ll never know what happened between rolling out of Arkansas in a pop-up camper and your new life in Scotland. Besides, I love the parts of your blog that specifically set out to be stories, like these 12 stories of Christmas. Your writing just has an extra zing to it in the stories.

I really enjoyed reading this story and it brought back for sure some great childhood memories. We used to go camping in a camper with my parents when we were kids and our first camper was also a pop-up model 🙂
Happy New Year

In reply to Maria Falvey (@acceleratedstal). Those sayings are both VERY true of our summer in the pop up. Usually I end up in situations like these because I don't really do forethought very well, but then I am always glad I did it in the end! ;)

In reply to Debbie Nelson. Thank you so much Debbie!! I hope that one day you can buy my book too!! :) I'm so glad you've enjoyed the stories! I am toying with the idea of doing a story like these once a week in the new year. Here's to many more stories to come!!

Alison, I have so enjoyed readIing your stories….I don’t want the twelve days to be over….I want to read more. I can hardly wait to buy your book and have it in my hands. Jennifer so loved getting new books…she loved to hold them and smell them. LOL!

Alison, what’s that saying? What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. Or how about, “It builds character.” Well you must be as formidable as the strong man in the road show and have character oozing from every pore. Kudos to you 6 for having done this. My idea of roughing it is a bathroom down the hall. 😀

I can’t believe it has already been 12 days of stories. I have read your blog for many months and always enjoyed your writing but I have really enjoyed your personal stories. I would love to purchase your first book someday. And of course it is always nice to “meet” a fellow Arkansan.

We spent two years in England and visited Scotland once. Enjoy yourself. It goes by so quickly. Blessing to you and your family.
