Goin' to town

The Mountains are Calling

In this episode, we talk about coffee dates and chocolate croissants, wrong GPS turns and winding roads, winter flurries and narrow overlooks.

Episode 2—the snow is everywhere but here, the overbuying and overcooking, the house filling up with family, dogs, and a baby on the way, and that gentle encouragement to people walking through hard seasons.
