Garmen Alert

We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the…

Road Trip

We always see the most amazing things as we drive across the country. Today aside from a car 🚘 on Fire 🔥 on the side of the road with rescue workers fighting back the blaze, we saw a helicopter swooping over fields of corn 🌽 obviously checking on things. We had wonderful weather, many courteous…

Anniversary

Today is my parents wedding anniversary. They were lucky enough to find one another in their early twenties, during their undergraduate years and somehow managed to fight together through the storms of life.

I need one with a fridge frog, able to consume unwanted foods, liquids and spit out containers ready to be…

Book 5 update

Still no approval to move onward to the next step, so we continue to wait. This is the hard unpredictable part of it all and the reason it is impossible for me to say it will all go through on a given date unless I set the date way ahead. Be patient, I will visually…
