Well obviously the air force knows what's best for us!  They decided that my husband and I did not need a week in Utila indulging in beautiful crystal clear water, seeing gorgeous coral reef, and drinking exotic beverages on the beach!  Instead they decided that my husband needed to go to…

I went to this annual Kentuck Art Festival in Northport, AL. Local as well as inter/national artists were showcasing their masterpieces. The festival took place in Kentuck Park, about a mile down Old Downtown Northport. I enjoyed looking at beautiful paintings, crafts, pottery, and photographs. I e…

My trip to Gulf Shores Alabama.. Ya'll would love it there if you havent already been! We had so much fun and the weather is awsome!

Day 5 (continued in the list)Coffee Shops and BarsCoffee Shops- Capture Studio Café is my favorite coffee place in town. It is not located in the strip where everything else is, but the extra distance trades off with great hangout place, a much spacious area, a large TV monitor, live music, arts e…

We are ending the day today in Monroeville, Alabama, where we will see the Old Monroe County Courthouse in the morning. It is the courthouse used in the book and movie "To Kill A Mockingbird". They even do a play, based on it each day. We are at another Best Western tonight. Dinner tonight was an…

My Name Is Billy Presley These are some of my GOALS for the summer. I am writing them down, because sometimes its good to have a list of things to do...you know like grocery list and top ten list and todo list and hit list. That way you dont forget or get off track. And you can reference the …

I felt like a kid this morning. The forecast had said snow dust for Tuscaloosa this morning, and I got up real early this Saturday morning to welcome it! As I wrote before, it was rare to snow down here. And we had had a terrible drought last year. Most parts of the state were really dry up. Theref…

A short drive out Fort Morgan Road will reward you with beautiful white beaches and azure water.   If you are one of the lucky ones that own a beach home, sit back and relax in your own private part of heaven.  The warm water welcomes swimmers any time of the day or night. …

Another great morning and we are under a fog advisory. We are taking I-10 west to Mobile, Alabama to visit Battleship Memorial Park. It's about an hour drive and it's open from 8:00am to 5:00pm. The USS battleship Alabama was commissioned August 16, 1942. It is 680 feet in length and a width of 1…

So I just got back from Gulf Shores, a place that I have frequented many times throughout my life, but this time was different. You see, I live very close to the beach, a little less than an hour, so going to the beach has always been pretty "normal" for me, so normal that I began to take it for gr…

Day 7, Saturday, July 26, 2004   Another short night! Between all of the load and unloading, doing the books, keeping up with this journal, and various other errands there just isn’t enough time to sleep, too! Oh, well I could be at work!   We ate breakfast at the Waffle House near…

Jag let me sleep in.  He set the clock pretty late: 6.30 a.m.!!!  Breakfast was at 9, so there was plenty of time for a leisurely shower.  The bathtub is an old-fashioned claw-foot type.  They are pretty, but very deep.  When you have short legs, it is darned hard to get in…
