US Trips

On January 8, 2018

We did quite a bit of traveling this year, both in the U.S. and abroad. Karen made several trips to California to see family and help her parents move to an assisted living community. We both enjoyed a trip to Boston in May to celebrate our nephew Tyler McCullough’s graduation from Tufts University. It was […]

Northeast Brazil & Caribbean

On January 8, 2018

Terry’s first foreign trip this year was to Northeast Brazil. (Karen had too much going on so she had to stay home.) It was wonderful to see the scores of endemic birds that are just hanging on in the region, sad to see this naturally arid environment ravaged by drought and agricultural practices. […]

KT Ranch

On January 8, 2018

We had several trips out to our KT Ranch in Portal AZ. It’s always so enjoyable to be there. But we didn’t get out as often as usual because of the other US trips, foreign travel and work in Dallas. One highlight was in May, when a bobcat had her kittens in the planter by […]

Brazilian Amazon

Then we boarded the Tumbira and spent a week traveling on the two rivers that […]

After Brazil, we returned to the States in late September for client work, Julie’s wedding, a CA trip for the annual get-together with Karen’s mom’s sisters and cousins (and her parents’ 65th wedding anniversary!), work at the KT Ranch and the Texas planning conference. Then in early November we headed out again. Our five-week trip […]

Holidays

On January 8, 2018

We’re enjoying the holidays now. We started our celebrations in Dallas with good food, good friends and presents. We’re in California with Karen’s family for Christmas and then back to Dallas for New Year’s. It’s a special New Year’s for us – it was New Year’s 30 years ago when we went to Hato Piñero, […]

2018

On January 8, 2018

As we look ahead to 2018, we expect most of our foreign travel to be in Latin America. Terry intends to wrap up his law practice in favor of writing and other pursuits. Karen hopes to continue her contributions to her client communities and the practice of planning, but at a pace that is not […]
