Life is grand here at the FL Home Base. The weather has been fantastic, and the snowbirds are returning making the community bustling again. I’ve resumed my Audio/Video tech duties, in addition to working on phase two enhancements to the community website. It truly is wonderful to slow down, relax, and enjoy the company of […]

Oh Florida how I’ve missed you – hurricanes not withstanding. I’ve missed the great weather, the camaraderie of the community, and of course the Publix BoGo’s.

Wyoming is one of those natural beauties that exists here in this country, and a state that I thoroughly enjoy each time I visit. And this visit certainly did not disappoint. Above is a pano shot I took of the Grand Tetons – majestic and oh so beautiful. Just a sampling of the amazing scenery […]

What a whirlwind trip through Kansas and Colorado. Got to spend time with wonderful friends and family, and checked off a number of visits to Roadside America entries. No truck troubles, mostly nice campgrounds, and uneventful travel was the norm for this stretch of this year’s trip. As for this sign above, I’ll cover that […]

This is where the exploration of this leg of my journey begins – Riverfront Park in downtown Little Rock. A beautiful park with river-side walking trails, a playground and splash park for the kids, and an amphitheater – all in 33 acres stretching eleven blocks on the south bank of the Arkansas River. It also […]
