Spring Break in North Dakota

Only it looks more like a “Winter Break”. LOL! David and I arrived in Bismark at 11:30 local time, yesterday.  David was THRILLED to see all the snow.  He could barely wait to get our bags from baggage claim before he bolted out the door to form a snowball.  I wonder how long  before all [...]

Up late

I talked to Brian tonight and was informed that North Dakota is expecting snow on Saturday!  David and I arrive in Bismarck on Saturday!  Me, the person who have never lived, OR DRIVEN, in snow was less than thrilled.  David was thrilled beyond belief!  Typical kid! David is NOT ready for the snow in North [...]

Oregon Vacation

We are in Oregon. The GORGEOUS Oregon Coast to be very specific. Many landscape photographers call the Oregon Coastline the most beautiful in all of the country…I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone to disagree with you! It really is stunning. And to think we, David, Gigi, Rochell and I, get to [...]

32 years between visits!

AKA “Howdy from Bozeman, Montana”! Yep, the last time I was in Montana was 1976. The year my Dad took Mom, Porter and I to Carrington, ND (his Hometown). On the way to Carrington we had gone through Vegas, Salt Lake, Cheyenne WY, various sites in South Dakota before continuing on into ND. Here was [...]

Time in Cowboy Country winds to a close :-(

But maybe only temporarily??? Way back in 1976, my Dad packed up Mom, Porter and I and hauled us off to North Dakota for a summer vacation. I had so much fun on that trip and remember it quite fondly. I also remember all of Dad’s stories of growing up in a small town. In [...]

More from Cowboy Country!!!!

Yesterday, Saturday, was spent on the road.  Since it was the only Saturday we planned to be here and Michele and Kenny were both off work, there was much to do and see. The town of Taylor had their annual “Horsefest”.  Friday night there was a fair and horse auction which we did not go [...]

Transplant…Here we come.

We are back from see the Lymphoma Specialist.  Good news! Dr. P wants Pop to have another, maintenance, round of chemo.  He had his last round in February and Dr. P is concerned with the aggressive nature of Pop’s Lymphoma.  Dr. P did say Pop is a candidate for transplant.  But the soonest we can [...]

Irony

Writing from Tucson, AZ where Pop will see the Lymphoma Specialist today for a follow-up. We drove down from Vegas yesterday.  It was a nice almost uneventful drive.  When we got to Kingman, yesterday, I pulled in to a gas station to top off the tank.  Once I shut off the engine, Rochell went in [...]

In Laguna Beach, safe and sound!

Left at 9:30am this morning and pulled in before 1:30 this afternoon.  I was surprised!  I thought the drive would be closer to 6 hours…and there was a lot of traffic.  So it ended up being 4 hours with all that traffic doing about 80 on average! LOL!  My kind of flying! I’m off to [...]

Something to look forward to…
