We got up early in our last day!! And what for a day. In the great city of San Francisco. It is certainly one of the greatest places I have ever been, not only for it's beauty but also because of it's liberal climate. Whites, blacks but also an huge Chineze section, all kind of religions, but also,…

  Oklahoma City - Goat Ropers Need Love, Too   There are hundreds of songs written about Oklahoma. However, HANDS DOWN, my all-time favorite tune is Jerry Jeff Walker’s version of Ray Wylie Hubbard’s classic, “Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother.”   Up Against The…

We finally got home a little after 11 pm.  Whew!  I was tired.  You never sleep that well camping and then had a full day of hiking and driving and let’s just say I barely made it home awake.  Mom spent much of the last couple hours sleeping so I had a hard time staying awake.…

Unlike the last escape this one really did last more than one day.  And because of that we found it necessary to do a little planning.  But again it had to be very quiet and discretionary. No one should know about these voyages into the other realms.  From outside our living structur…

My adventure began in Kansas City, where it was a cool 30 degrees F when I arrived at the airport. I didn't want to pack a coat with me to the warmth of Taiwan and Indonesia, so I hesitantly left it in the car and stood freezing as I waited for the airport shuttle. My flight today took me…

Places I have seen, things I have done

It's the summer of 2008 and time to light up the sky once again!  Last year, I somehow adopted the nickname "Sparkler" and it stuck.  Sparkler (who is a member of "Billy Boom's Crew") is now off to pick up this weekends' fireworks. This weekend is our community Relay For Life (a fundrais…

Monday was going home day...always kind of sad when you're having so much fun away from home.  Joy took me to the airport at noon during her lunch break, but I was able to hang out at NBC once again for the morning.  We had breakfast at the commissary...egg white omelets, and then got to …

So after fighting to get out of the bed this morning...  I dragged myself in the shower and got myself ready. Lord Mike had a package that needed to be signed for... and at the time, we thought it was arriving at 1030...  Betsy had family plans so she was out and about already!We drove fo…
