We’re home again. Papa and I had a smooth ride home from Perrysburg, Ohio Sunday morning. The weather forecasts weren’t pretty and even though the ride home was short, we were concerned. When we reached the State line, radio reported that I-75 had been reopened at the Rouge River Bridge. We just looked at each …

Hi, from beautiful Jekyll Island, Georgia
Papa and I had an uneventful trip to the area, but it is a long haul, longer each year. The beach is beautiful, and we saw a dolphin near shore feeding on Wednesday. The bluegrass show put on by Adams and Anderson has been enjoyable for Papa and I. Yesterday, we had an experience …

Clicking for a Great View
So, morning again. Papa and I retire at 10 p.m., day in and day out. Last night was a little different. Tickets went on sale for the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival, to be held in Wilmington Ohio on March 30 and 31, 2007. According to the website, I could buy on-line beginning at 12:01 …

Gray Tuesday
Man, more rain. It’s feast or famine. Since most of the garden dried up because I couldn’t stay home long enough to water it, the rain isn’t helping now. I wrote a while ago about Blue Monday, perhaps I cover all the days in due time. Today it’s shop, fix Uncle Jerry’s web page, clean …
