~ USA Through Our Eyes ~
Stories Told Through Words, Photographs, Videos and Sound
Join us, Tom and Audrey and our chocolate lab, Emma, on our journey through the United States in search of stories of life and love, joy and sorrow, of beauty, and truth. We are combining our passion for writing, photography, video and sounds to create and share the stories of those we encounter along the way.
We are spending time with people, listening to their stories, searching for the connections among us. Through it all, we are listening and allowing your stories to flow through us, through the words, the photographs, the sounds and grow in our understanding of the hearts and the minds of people ~ to see the mystery at work in this place we call home.

Hi, Audrey and Tom. As I know you better and better from our discussions, I’d like to emphasize once more how important your travel might be for the places you visit. Sometimes people can not/don’t want to go out, so it is great that the world can come to them! And you are doing exactly that. I’m sure you are enriching everybody’s experience you meet on your journey. All the best!

I do travel pieces every often, but there are posts on other topics. And Roxie Dammit aka The Other Cat, throws her two cents worth in when she gets time at the computer. She’s jealous of living with ZuZu, who has books written about her. Roxie, to her infinite dismay and displeasure, does not have a book about her. But she now has a fan club of bloggers insisting it be produced.
