Bonjour,Well today was the first day of training.  Long day.  But I learned of the Burgerking 69c cheeseburgers.  . . I guess thats the thing to do here.  And tomorrow is the all-you can eat chicken from a mom-and-pop place down the block.  I guess Presidential Candidate Barak Obama was at the college I was training at today.  Pretty exciting, even though didn't meet him.  I am off to eat some dinner before work starts.  Thanks,Jon

As I traveled the roads of Northern Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina, I was struck, AWE*struck at the shades of color unfolding before my eyes. Colors without names, vibrant in hue, outlandish by design,unbelievable in scope...to try and describe them here with these letters typed in the form of "words" would prove, as my dear brother always says, ridiculous! Growing up in Austin, "fall" consisted primarily of one color... BROWN...now you may get various shades of BROWN... but BROWN non...

The next day Liz, Pat and I drove to Chesapeake, Virginia to my grandma's house.  She lives out in the country and there isn't very much to do, but we went to Busch Gardens and the movies to pass...

I loved each of the Hawaiian Islands in different ways for different reasons, but Kauai holds a special place in the depths of my heart. Sugar cane no longer waves in the wind, but I can close my eyes & smell the sweet smell of sugar cane being processed in the mill on the south edge of Lihue. The tree tunnel leading to the old town of Koloa is a must see. Then on to Poipu before heading west to the dryer side of Kauai & up the mountain to lush Kokee & the breathtaking view of K...

This is my first, so please bear with me.  Tuesday night my little family left for the Emerald Isle in North Carolina.  My husband and I have a soft spot in our heart for the beaches in this state.  They tend to be less crowded and full of the most interesting history we have ever seen or heard of.  This is great, since we tend to not be idle people.  The area is wonderful and the beaches are a definite favorite compared to the ones we saw on the west coast. ...

My cousins live in North Carolina, they moved there from where I live now, a small town in Southeast Texas.  It is absolutely one of the most geourgeous place I have seen!  The mountains are so beautiful, the rivers and streams are all breathtaking.  It truely is a place that is rural and touched by God.  The town of Ashville is a small town settled in the mountains in North Carolina.  It is so busy all the time!  There are all kinds of quaint little mom a...
