Happy Mother’s Day
This year, I’m without my Mom for the first time in my life. Harder than I thought it would be. So, here’s my favorite photo of her. hotel furnishing in Bulgaria
What I think
You Can’t Get There From Here
To get to Kalamazoo from Detroit, you usually would do this. At certain times of day, or traffic conditions, this works better. Yesterday, I used the first route. The plan was to meet D2 near Jackson; we often do this to same time and gas for everyone. I was too early, and I knew D2 had … Read more
Thoughts from the Road
We left Lincolnton Georgia Saturday evening and drove up to Hendersonville, NC, where we spent the rather short night. I didn’t think much on that drive, but I did gather my thoughts and jot down a few of them as Papa drove us back to Michigan Sunday. I actually did quite a bit of driving … Read more
Nostalgia
That’s enough for today.
Lincolnton, Georgia
I must say that the water levels are really down. Papa thinks the river might be 6 or 7 feet below the first time we were here, several years ago. It’s dusty in Georgia. We ran across some cows that got out last night. A sheriff was sitting by the side of the road with … Read more
What Would You Take?
Some people can’t believe the way we travel, or perhaps they don’t understand how many ways there are to skin a cat. This trip is a scaled down one, as compared to taking Lex, or even the van, tent and some camping equipment. We had a bunch of free hotel nights, and decided to use them … Read more

I suspect if the stores were serious about environmental issues, they would just quit having plastic bags, and sell … Read more
A Little Road Trip
Papa and I are leaving to day for a little trip to Georgia, and the Lewis Family Festival. We have attended this show several times. We didn’t go last year, since Mom was so sick. I remember she asked me when we were leaving, and she seemed sad to think she might have caused us to … Read more
What is Next?
Papa, D3 and I spent a lot of the weekend in the yard, specifically, trying to resurrect the flower beds. We’re not done, but we have a good start. I pulled out all of the old mulch, which is mainly filled with grass. I pulled weeds, and I removed a couple of rose bushes that … Read more
Missing Miss Moon
GD2 was here only 3 days, but they were fun. Some time ago, her preschool assigned symbols to the children, and hers is a moon. The first letter of her name is “M”, so I guess that is the significance. During her last couple of visits, she has spied the moon, and always says, “There’s … Read more
