“What are you guys doing this weekend?” said our friends the Graves when they called. “Nothing much,” we replied. “For our anniversary, our kids got us a free night’s stay at the Ameristar in Omaha,” they said, “Wanna go along?” “Well sure,” we said. “That was mighty nice of your kids to spring for two…
If the commenter in my last blog was repulsed by references to phlegm ..wait till he (or she) gets a load of this. Linda and I are at war; not with each other..but with a devilish little foe that invaded our home while we were gone for ten days. Behold the enemy! Okay, I admit that this picture…
I’m sitting here coughing like a bunch of teenage boys getting their first sports physical. A cold that began prior to our vacation and which I thought was finally going away has returned with a vengeance. Linda is sick too only her affliction presents itself with sneezing, watery eyes, a runny nose and a voice that sounds…
And, just like that..it’s over. 10 days romping around some of the most beautiful places on earth and we’re about to board an airplane and return to the reality of a world where bills are due, a lawn is in desperate need of mowing, there’s laundry to do and we have doctor and dentist appointments…
I’m just going to admit this right up front: I simply don’t have enough adjectives to describe what Linda and I along with 44 other Kelolanders have experienced over the last several days on our Railroading In The Rockies Tour. Sunday morning found us boarding the Rocky Mountaineer Train for our two day journey from…
Lord, my tootsies are tired. I haven’t walked this much since….well, I’ve never walked this much. But it’s not like I can’t use the exercise. We’re having a wee of a time, though, and seeing some incredible things…including Butchart Gardens on the island of Victoria, BC. I admit that the idea of strolling around for…
At the risk of boring you to tears like when a relative drags out the home movies..I’m going to post a few pictures from our tour and offer a comment or two…so bear with me. We are currently in Victoria..one of the most beautiful cities we’ve ever seen. We ferried across from Port Angeles, Washington aboard…
Greetings from the Emerald City. Yes we made it to Seattle on the first leg of our Holiday Vacations journey through the great North American North West. But our adventure had a rather auspicious start. “It’s 3:30 a.m.….my god, we’re late!” That was how I awoke Tuesday morning.Linda’s voice pierced the darkness when she discovered that…
I wrapped up my Mogen’s Heroes summer tour with a performance at the South Dakota State Fair in Huron this past week. I retired from playing in the band several years ago but for some reason, John Mogen keeps inviting me back to sing with the guys at their fair gigs; The Sioux Empire, Turner County,…
It was finally chilly enough the other day that I decided to wear one of my Minnesota Vikings sweatshirts (I have two) as I ran a few errands around town. I obviously wasn’t thinking because it was like walking around with a blinking billboard saying “Ask me about Brett Favre.” Ugh. “Well..how’d you like your…
