Journal Entry – My Grandfather’s Birthday
It was a dark day today, fitting for this time of the year, with overcast skies, the wind blowing, and the temperatures in the 30s I am going to type a story that my grandfather enjoyed telling, but not necessarily on his birthday. This story does reflect the Walton personalities of the time. And, I…

Journal Entry – Cousin’s Alert
It was almost a perfect fall day here today. When the sun was shining, it was great, but it clouded over this afternoon. It may have been a little cold for the perfect day with a high of 49 degrees, but there was a huge number of people hiking. Since I have not been living…

Journal Entry
It has been a rainy day with the upper temperature 63 degrees. But, even with the rain, I took mom for her daily ride to Hebron and back. I do not know why, but mom has been complaining that I am driving too fast. On the back roads, I feel that she is complaining that…

Journal Entry
Today, my dad turned 91 years old. Longevity runs in our family. My grandfather’s death was ruled an accidental death at the age of 93, since he tripped on his own feet, fell, and hit is head on the concrete. He had on some real bulky shoes/boots that seem to contribute to the tripping. He…

Journal Entry
It was up 85 degrees today, with the wind flowing. I can remember twenty years ago, and I would have had a headache all day long. This time of the year was bad for me, with headache, since I could easily had twenty days of headaches per month. I think that they call that chronic…

Journal Entry – Lake Superior Circle
I did get back to Whitewater on Sunday night, but I have been able to type since then. One of the issue has been that my dad was in the hospital for the past two days and I spent the evenings with him. He got a diagnosis about pockets in his esophagus that trap food.…

Journal Entry – Lake Superior Circle
Here on the west side of Lake Superior it has been up to 84 degrees. With this type of temperature, I might as well stay at home, but it is going to get down to 65 degrees, and the temperature would probably not get that low at night. I am back on the grid, but…

Journal Entry – Lake Superior Circle
Another nice day up here around the Lake with the high temperature of 65 degrees. I could get use to this weather. It was a slow morning for me, so I thought that I would work on trying to figure out why my hotspot on my computer was not working. So, I started texting with…
