OK. So you’re a baby boomer. Being in your 50′s or 60′s you find yourself conjuring up memories of days gone by. You find your mind interested in things you experienced as a child. “Back in the day” is a large part of your conversational repertoire. And there’s that yearning for things nostalgic. You want [...]
One thing I’ve been wanting to do for some time is to fly in a hot air balloon. I’m going to quit referring to these things as ‘bucket list’ items for I’m finding that term far too terminating. There shall be time enough for a bucket list decades from now. But I digress. Erin is [...]
Work this week at the Gnome Cafe went well but wasn’t as busy as I had thought. I just figured we’d be inundated with customers given the fact that the campground was at maximum for this July 4th weekend. Nonetheless, it proved to be to my advantage. The chest cold I received from Robin turned [...]
Much of our time while awaiting Robin’s final visits to her dentist and doctor have been spent at the gym, hitting balls at the range as she gets accustomed to her new irons, and dodging the rain. It’s almost uncanny how we can weave through a day without doing much of anything and then it’s [...]
Crack!!! The sound is distinct, resonating in its own uniqueness. When the rawhide ball ricochets off the well swung Louisville Slugger. You know it immediately. There is no sound like it. It makes my eyes turn toward the field, regardless of my whereabouts. Spring training is in full swing here in the Cactus league. The [...]
We tried to get in as much sightseeing with Erin prior to her heading back to the wintry Carolinas. After having a wonderful time at the Goldfield ghost town we drove through the Apache Trail for some miles until the ladies started to get a little nauseated from the switchbacks. I’ll make another trip back [...]
I thought it was just the start of another laundry day, but while I was loading the washers I received a call from Tom and Deana inviting us down to Yuma. The talk was of making a trip across the border into Mexico. Los Algodones to be exact. So after finishing the folding of the [...]
We decided to stay another day in Kerrville as we had to await some mail to be overnighted to us from Erin. The sun was shining again and I the forecast for the ensuing days didn’t look good. Time to ride again. We had heard so much about Fredericksburg, TX and the draw it had. [...]
The weather cooperated a little more this afternoon and it seemed a good day for some bicycle riding. Greg and Cher has expressed some interest in going with us but Cher had an accident earlier this morning. Dressed in her fluffy pink slippers and matching housecoat she exited their RV for her morning smoke. However, [...]
It’s been a few days away from here. I never want to bore with you mundane tasks of living or the fact that not every day of this glorious adventure is full of bliss. But I have been busy. Busy in search of perfection in the average day. Each morning I walk the mile to [...]
