Super Occurence
Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]
Uneventful Travel
Today I was up very early to bring my son to the airport. I never really look forward to that drive as there are always too many cars on the highway going way too fast and following way too close. It being the beginning of a holiday weekend, I figured it would be much worse. […]
Back From the Eclipse
After their eclipse adventure, my dad and brother made it home safe and sound tonight. They spent a lot of time driving, but the place where they were able to view the eclipse was perfect and clear. They all had a great time, besides the 90 seconds of totality that they experienced. They were able […]
Traveling Weather
After all the graduation celebrations, packing up belongings, and saying goodbye to friends and family, my son and I hit the road for the long drive home. We had originally thought we would take our time and do some sight-seeing along the way. But my son was excited to get to his destination, so we […]
Graduation and Family
Well, it has been 2 weeks since I last posted as I arrived for my son’s college graduation. It has been a whirlwind of 2 weeks, full of excitement, anticipation, activity and emotion. During the next few days, I will attempt to recount some highlights. My son has been dating his girlfriend for most of the 5 […]
So Far, So Good
It was a long day of travel today. I left my house early and took the shuttle to the airport. I think the driver was a stunt car driver in a previous life as we got to the airport in record time. After that experience, I was happy to find a quiet place to sit […]
Back to Home Base
My brother has been traveling around the country and Canada for the past year and a half with his truck, trailer, and dog. We have enjoyed seeing his adventures through the eyes of his dog on his blog. And we stayed in touch via phone calls, video chat, and social media. When he left, he […]
Fiddles at the Airport
I made a trip to the airport today to pick up my son’s girlfriend who came in for a visit. Actually, my son was supposed to fly in as well, but coming from another state. I got a call from him early this morning that, unfortunately, his flight was cancelled due to the weather. Inside […]
Finding Beauty
Columbus Day weekend was always one that I looked forward to when I lived in the Northeast. Mostly because it meant a long weekend with the Fall foliage colors at their peak. A couple of years I headed to visit my son over the weekend and would take the route that went through the mountains. […]
Fun at the Farm
Today my son, his wife, and their kids flew in for a visit. I was glad there were no major delays or problems with the flights and that everyone seemed to do OK. We stopped at my sister’s farm for dinner before we headed to the house. As soon as we got there, we snuck […]
