Here is to our Great Adventure

Exciting Adventures Ahead!

Camp has finished, and the last week has been finalized. Now, we are off to explore the beauty of the USA and Canada!

Join us as we travel through this sabbatical adventure, sharing our experiences and memories along the way! Stay tuned for updates and photos from our explorations!

Michael and Heather Reed live in Amarillo. Well we own a house in Amarillo. Heather is a Community Regional minister for the CCSW and Mike travels with her to make sure she knows where she is going and takes care of her, because otherwise she would be lost. Heather has been serving this region since 2018, with Mike retiring in 2021, and is taking a sabbatical now after serving full time since 2021. They have been planning their adventures forever and are excited to relax, rejuvenate and recharge for the future with the Christian Church in the Southwest.

  • A knock at the door came way too fast. The sky barely dimmed and again was making a bright comeback. Breakfast coffee on a tray delivered by a perky steward and away she went.

  • IT IS CRUISE DAY!!!! We caught an uber this morning down to Pier 27. The Princess pier in San Francisco. Another intense driver but one that did not scare us and was very capable to navigate that crazy San Francisco cruise port traffic. It was insane!! We got to the Princess Ruby and got ready…

  • Well we got off to the airport, thanks to my parents, Thank you Mom and Dad for taking us. And we got on our plane and headed to San Francisco. Flights were smooth and great. We flew first class this time on American and I don’t know how we will ever go back. The attention…

  • Today was filled with packing and getting ready for our trip. Pick ups from the dry cleaners, trying to make two weeks fit into our suitcase and make sure we didn’t forget a thing. We are ready, sleep is waiting for us so we can wake up to go to the airport.

  • We thought attending church at our home church before our sabbatical began, was the way to begin our adventures. It is always a blessing when we get to church and Jerry Steen is singing a solo for the special music. Jerry was one of our singers at our wedding over 20 years ago and has…

  • Join Mike and me on a fun-filled Saturday night as we played 5 Crowns with my parents. The game was intense, and there was a clear winner, making it a memorable start to our Sabbatical.
