There are a bunch of options for bluegrass in the D this weekend. After careful consideration, Papa and I have decieded to head down to the Huron Valley Eagles and see B0 and John and ‘em. We’ve seen Bo sing quite a bit, but this will be the first time we’ve seen this group. Bo [...]

It was a little warmer for a day or so there, but now it’s back to the deep freeze. We are supposed to have a warm weekend, but it won’t help Papa and I any, we are headed north to M-in-L’s house. She’s having a birthday, and we want to be there. I’m busy as [...]

We’re here, and most of our things are put away. I am a nest maker, so it is important to me to have things in order. I do have one problem, our bikes got covered with salt and snow on the way home. Our daughters had thoughtfully shoveled, so we drove right in the garage, [...]

After exploring new territory, ideas or general “stuff” Papa and I always say, one to another, “You can quit now, you’ve learned something today.” We went a little over the top today, and learned quite a bit. We visited the 4-H Tidelands Nature Center, here on Jekyll Island, Georgia. There are exhibits of local marine [...]

Sunday, Papa and I visited the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. I hadn’t realized there was a football game at the Georgia Dome that day, but that didn’t interfere with our visit. We had paid for our tickets and parking in advance, on-line, a move I always recommend. This is just a short clip from our [...]

There is no snow on the beach here at Jekyll Island, Georgia. Papa and I just went for a long walk on the beach, it is about 68 and humid. My shoulders are no longer knotted up, and I feel great!

GS1 flew out of here yesterday. Sometime today he flies to his new duty station in Japan on a military transport. Folks, this was much harder than any time in the past. He’ll be there two+ years, and the odds of Papa and I traveling that far are very limited. GS1 managed to finish his [...]

Today I’m taking S-Dad to the Retina doctor, his appointment is for around 9:30. Those appointments can last a while, and then he usually wants to go to lunch. I’m expecting an exciting lunch, since he will be full of news about his recent trip to Vancouver to see his daughter and son-in-law. I picked [...]
