Foot Prints in the Sand
About 2.5 years ago, I took my boots off and started walking in the sand on the southeast shores of Lake Superior, and I found it to be enjoyable. After I look back on my foot prints, I notice how true they are to life. As I think back to my parents’ house, my sister…

Journal Entry
The convention was over today at 12:00. After Lunch, I went through the Tampa Bay History Center. Since it feels like we are just dumped into the city, it is like we do not know what in this area. By going through the center, I have a much better idea on what this area is…

Journal Entry
It has been really hot here in Wisconsin this summer, and I started looking for a cool place for a few days. On Sunday, I took the train to Chicago and walk the lake shore. It was cooler, but not all that cooler. Last week I started looking for state campgrounds along Lake Michigan, but…

It was seven degrees here in New Iberia this morning. I stayed in the hotel this morning waiting for it to warm up a little. The city was completely shut down, as it was yesterday. By noon the dark areas under the snow, like asphalt, started to melt. By 2:00, the streets were passable, with…

Journal Entry – First Day – Snowbird
Although this is not popular with me, I am becoming a snowbird this year. I find it sad, since I enjoy all four seasons, except for muddy April. Without my new home being built, I am heading south. Or, at least far enough south where I can feel comfortable in my trailer. When the temperature…

Journal Entry – Ontonagon Gal
For days the weather forecast has been a Gal in this area, so I thought that it would be nice to live through a Gal. The last two days were nice, and even the person coming in last night next to me, seems like they were come to enjoy their time. But, when we, those…

Journal Entry
I am on the west side of Ontonagon, Michigan in the upper peninsula east of Porcupine Mountain State Park, since my birthday is tomorrow. I enjoy coming up here and enjoy the colorful trees this time of the year. But, as for this year, there is not much color. Since the tree leaves turn color…

Journal Entry
Greetings from Whittington, Illinois. Since I am tried of brown grass and black mud and no winter sports, I have decide to move south. So, yesterday, I drove 350 miles south to Mt Vernon, Illinois. It was a long day of driving and there was a moderate wind blowing. Even with the moderate wind out…
