Aug 11, 2011 - Wishes for my friends

Unfortunately we had bad news yesterday regarding our friend, Robert, who traveled with us last summer to Alaska. He fell 14' while trying to trim a tree in his yard and ended up in intensive care Tuesday evening. He fractured many bones in his back, some disks are compressed, but he's ever so fortunate in that there was no apparant damage to the spinal cord or his head. He's able to move all fingers and toes...what a blessing. We talked to him this morning and he's out of intensive care, but the healing will be slow. We're so upset about...

We kinda shook our heads because he was a little bit of a grabbie fellow. Anyways we got into our spot and it is quite nice very quiet and...

Sep 8, 2008 - On the road to New Hampshire

Up at 5 am to see the sunrise again. No clouds this time and we’re so close, we don’t have to take driving time into account. Last glimpse of Acadia NP before we head out toward New Hampshire. This time the sun rose as a flowing yellow orange ball, lighting up the sky in a pinky-yellow flow. As always, busy sign spotting: The Main Dish above a Curves sign. As we came around a corner in historic old Ellsworth we spotted: “Cock County Eratic Committee.” WHAT?! Then we move a little further and find it really says, “Hancock County Democratic...
