Planning a Family Visit
I have been trying to get a trip planned for weeks now. Today I finally made reservations. My son, his wife, and their 3 kids will be coming for a visit. I am so glad they were able to get it worked out. And I am super excited for my parents to meet their new […]
Oh! Canada! — Rover Travels
Tom and I finally made it into Canada! We hooked up our den-on-wheels early in the morning and reached the border around lunchtime. There was another one of those little roadside dens on the other side. We’ve been seeing these tiny dens right along the road all the time since we reached the Atlantic Ocean […] […]
Time With My Son
My son is taking a summer course at his college, so we had just a few days to visit this time around. We got up ridiculously early this morning to make sure he got to the airport in plenty of time for his flight. With all the hype about 3 hour wait lines and such […]
Inside A Mountain
Today my sister found that it is the 50th anniversary of NORAD – the military station inside of Cheyenne Mountain. Our dad worked there many, many years ago. At one time we were able to go inside and have Thanksgiving dinner there. I was a young child, so I remember only bits and pieces of […]

Off to a New Adventure
It has always been my brother’s dream to tour the United States after he retired. This summer he bought a camping trailer and it was his intention to head South for the winter. I was so happy that he stuck around here for a few months. He stayed with my parents often, which allowed me to […]
Meeting the Granddaughter
I finally made it safe and sound to my son’s house to see my new granddaughter. There was no problem traveling and the weather was good all the way. When I got to their house, there were hugs and tears all around. First my son, then the baby, my daughter-in-law, the baby, the grandsons, the […]
This Just Might Happen
I planned on taking a trip to see my new grand daughter leaving tomorrow. Today started out with a usual unexpected happening. My mom woke up with a very red eye. It had been bothering her for a couple of days as it felt scratchy and irritated. But today it looked as though someone punched […]
