This morning we played a rousing game of “fetch the water bottle that makes the crinkly sound and will pop out of my mouth if I squeeze too hard.” The toy is certainly the right price. We’re still waiting for her bladder, shall we say, to mature. She’s fine in her crate [...]

It is hard work going on vacation.
First, you have all the preparation to do just to “get gone”. Clean up the yard and the house, wash clothes, get the cats’ feeders on the porch, pack the suitcases, gather up all the beach stuff, get the dogs to the kennel, wash the dishes, pack the [...]
The Bruce and Kathy 2009 Reunion Tour
Posted in travel on August 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We’re back home after 3491 miles and 31 miles per gallon and 11 states. It was a great trip — long and busy, but fruitful. We saw the people we wanted, but also didn’t see others we would have wanted to see but lacked the time. I realized that we could have [...]
A Week Away

For us, a week away from home was spent between the north Georgia mountains where we slept snug in our sleeping bags and along the Atlantic Ocean coastline of southern South Carolina where we slept on top of our sleeping bags under a sheet. The music of the Bluegrass festival was great; the [...]

I’m still amazed at all the stuff there is to do around here, if you just look for it. In Thursday’s paper each week there is a listing of the activities in the area for about a 50 mile radius. I read it thoroughly.
When Bruce and I first started dating in the late [...]

We got back from our latest camping adventure earlier in the week. Overall, the trip to North Carolina was fun; we were able to set up our camp during a beautiful day, had rain and cold nights, were able to strike camp and move an hour further up the mountains to Hugh’s neck of [...]

Bruce takes wonderful pictures. He takes a lot of them and also knows how to crop and zoom and all that stuff on the computer to make them even better, His screen saver on his HP computer runs the pictures all the time. So when the door to the computer armoire is [...]
Thank You too.

I have long been a fan of Rick Steves’ Europe Through the Back Door series. He is like EveryBrother, a tall amiable American, who loves the world and everyone in it. Steves advocates traveling the world on a budget, becoming “temporary locals” and seeing the out-of-the-way places. His philosophy makes a lot [...]
Where is it?

Many people traveI to foreign countries and get upset when things are different. Well — duh — yeah. . . . Aren’t they supposed to be? Otherwise, you’d stay home and save money and look at the usual scenery.
I wish I’d kept track of the number and different shapes and [...]
Ciao!

We got back from Italy last Thursday and I haven’t blogged yet because I can’t seem to stay awake long enough to do it! During our ten days in Italy, we had early wakeup calls and long days and a flight home where I could only catnap. I guess, I’m catching up [...]
