Dirt Road Adventures: A Little Snow, A Beach Trip & More
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey friends,
How was your week? We began the week at our beach cottage but quickly returned due to a Winter storm prediction. We did get a little snow, but it was not what the forecasters had thought it would be. However, it was cold, cold, cold!
Rudy loved it, but it was gone in the blink of an eye once it stopped snowing! Although he didn’t get to play for long, he was perfectly content to curl up in his cozy bed.

Hearing that you are sharing my ideas with your friends and family makes my day! So, just in case you missed something, take a look!
