Their home is beautiful with a newly remodeled section including kitchen -- a dream kitchen and we made good use of all that space with peaches and making water melon salsa.<br /><br />They treated me to a Chicago concert that was excellent. Such a fun night that started with a cool downtown brewery for dinner which was very good and excellent beer. We then drove over to the concert and Chicago put on such a super show. Took us right back to the old days.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaoeSoy3rLw/XYj1q19kD_I/AAAAAAAAiDw/avVC19X-zX0d4xQtZegjAqRN8q3t4IjpQCKgBGAsYHg/s1600/20190728_175654%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1088" data-original-width="1195" height="580" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaoeSoy3rLw/XYj1q19kD_I/AAAAAAAAiDw/avVC19X-zX0d4xQtZegjAqRN8q3t4IjpQCKgBGAsYHg/s640/20190728_175654%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love these guys.

I've never seen such long legged cats. They are pretty shy, but are more responsive when I bring the treats out. Dusty & Rusty, nice kitties. I'm here for 2 weeks for a friend of a friend and now Diane is my friend too. Got here a day early and we just talked solid for 3 hours. She made me dinner, Manicotti and salad. The manicotti (which I don't think I've had before) was too good. Asked her where she bought it and it was from Fresh Market. I could eat one every day.

We had home inspection today that took hours so missed certified mail for my check. Received the mobile home park lease to review. Up and back, 2 hrs. there, 2 hrs. back.

I've had so many lovely messages from friends that I didn't feel sad because for everyone I heard from I took time to reflect on when I met them, how, where, and thought about some special thing that we did together. I did get a little homesick for my Boise, Idaho. So the realization that I am, and as I always say, so blessed by the people in my life I can only be super happy. Thank you all for being in my life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p># 2 A first having my birthday alone, but it was quite wonderful. Instead of focusing on "my birthday" I focused on each Happy Birthday wish I received and spent time thinking about the person who sent the wishes. It was so fun -- thinking back to where we met, how long I'd known them, things we had done together. Lots of lovely memories, honestly great fun. Made me a little sad in missing so many special friends and my "home town" Boise. Thanks for all the wonderful wishes. It was a good day and not fattening so that was good, no cake, LOL.</p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My friend Deb from Englewood drove down Friday for one night. We had a nice, short visit. Drove over to the Four Mile Eco Preserve, in Cape Coral. A wonderful, 1.2 mile loop boardwalk in a brackish water area through mangroves and the trail goes out to the Caloosahatchee River. Quite a bit of shade that was needed since back at my car it showed 107 F (not that not out walking, but that's what my car showed sitting in the hot sun). There was also a Veterans Memorial Area to see. Relaxed and watched a movie she recommended, A Tourist's Guide to Love. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTJBJg8-WgwoyibhJgOnmrED-_37-4V9tb_TlN3eQQ3Vda8v58HNKhkFaaXm9KSEJxkcimrJFAav_ZobyLzi2AhMN5Jw-DVbxBXQvJydM_yc4kHlFMg4vqRC-i8QFpt8Qb-DecjxBL356CyxJ2h9iCCNTQjv-XzGhZI-bAnqDb5OMBUVkwiWxNPoCODQ/s3024/20230512_140243.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It trains volunteers to produce food in area that have challenges, desert, lack of water, too much water, urban situations. The interns train for a year and then go out and work with local farmers to teach them how to produce food, or raise animals. I visited there about 4 years ago and never forgot it. I knew Deb would enjoy it and she did. If you get down this way it is worth a visit. We had a two hour tour that was so informative. Deb has trouble walking and they provided a golf cart for us that made it perfect. Of course, it was a very hot day and the ride really helped us. Here is the website. https://echonet.org/</p><p><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">"For more than four decades,
ECHO has been equipping and empowering hungry families with knowledge and the
life-giving grace of God. We’ve impacted millions of lives by teaching
small-scale, sustainable farming methods so families can provide for themselves
and their communities. By tackling hunger at the source, we’re growing hope

The home inspection was interesting and I asked myself what is right with this place, but it is the best we can do. Affordable for Robert to make lot rental payments, etc. so a start.

So interesting. The grounds were beautiful and the homes were perfect because they weren't too big or ostentatious. We also visited the museum and read about their great inventions. Seems Edison and Ford were friends and enjoyed each other's company and they lived next door to each other in their winter homes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsErvwe46q9zcjh9CKXsXL-lhbJ334tHCJY0jbs9qsjcZrGp3MOvykcTNZZ1uYU8kkAPuqBbvUobzgrS3LZXqGWQrj6jZXjc4hGIundGg7L4yApFTlNc8PWx6q7WMMdl87tpgMt3MKOZSbGlHY45NCZJXVbAaEm39esk6IJBl4-v0CcleJIyqmvv1lqw/s3024/20230517_102958.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsErvwe46q9zcjh9CKXsXL-lhbJ334tHCJY0jbs9qsjcZrGp3MOvykcTNZZ1uYU8kkAPuqBbvUobzgrS3LZXqGWQrj6jZXjc4hGIundGg7L4yApFTlNc8PWx6q7WMMdl87tpgMt3MKOZSbGlHY45NCZJXVbAaEm39esk6IJBl4-v0CcleJIyqmvv1lqw/s320/20230517_102958.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mindboggling banyon tree.

Could have done a lot more, but also nice to rest, sleep in and mostly not be on a schedule. Worked a little on water color with Utube guidance. Painted some rocks. Read a lot. Managed to eat pretty decent. So a successful pet sit that I enjoyed. Owner comes home May 21st and I'm not sure what time, but I plan to have everything perfect, my car packed and no matter what time I will head for home. Have closing May 22nd and then I can put the totally nerve-racking process behind us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><br /></span><p></p><p><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p><span face=""Arial",sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655148401542094160.post-50013820780258534762023-04-18T07:46:00.001-07:002023-04-18T07:51:12.226-07:00I'm Back 4/18/23<p><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbeuYGy0I5WAlKR3m6N99fx74sRZ6V00aTO-UZtqPSxMLPSCp04shN6fhuZFnjKlkelcytPPTcrUzaB4kz0Iu0bvS11jBq_r8fJpvCdmqGQHhiJJMgSIFRW5pZ8LGwt9muAm8d9SU-qY58phSKXrwWwBlRYEgcekCPLKql2xgzf5Ji4BkrHS42jLpYJQ/s1008/Resized_20230328_121129%20(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbeuYGy0I5WAlKR3m6N99fx74sRZ6V00aTO-UZtqPSxMLPSCp04shN6fhuZFnjKlkelcytPPTcrUzaB4kz0Iu0bvS11jBq_r8fJpvCdmqGQHhiJJMgSIFRW5pZ8LGwt9muAm8d9SU-qY58phSKXrwWwBlRYEgcekCPLKql2xgzf5Ji4BkrHS42jLpYJQ/w217-h289/Resized_20230328_121129%20(1).jpeg" width="217" /></a></div><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm Back............rested and recouped. 4/18/23</span></span><p></p><p><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><span>After a several year hiatus, with my last blog done in 2021, seems my energy is restored and I'm going to start blogging again. I may go back and try to recreate some of my travels that I didn't write about. I'll go through my photos and try figure out what I did. </span><span>Thank goodness for precious photographs. Blogging is a lot of work, but it is fun and keeps memories alive. </span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">Speaking of photos, a reminder of what I learned from my own experience. Just a suggestion: Be sure and take lots of pictures of "your people" because someday if your someone isn't here anymore, you are going to enjoy looking at the pictures you took of them. I look back now and wonder why I took 25 flower photos, when I should have taken many more pictures of John. Now, I'm not saying I don't have pictures of John.....he would always say, "No, don't take my picture", but I insisted. I would just love to have more of him. One of the best things for me is Facebook Memories. I so enjoy seeing him and us in our life together, and they always bring a smile to my face. Anyway, for what it is worth, get your loved one(s) in front of the camera. Take no excuses of "I'm too fat,or I'm too......". You'll be glad you did.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">Today I'm sitting in Palm Harbor pet sitting for my friend, and I do have some relaxing time to think about the things I'd like to accomplish, and my blog just popped into my mind. I enjoy it because it documents what I've done, where I've gone, some special photos, and most importantly people. In case you don't know, I love people!</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">So I hope you will come along for the ride. First, I'll start with finishing several draft blogs I have. It will be interesting to see what I can remember from a few years ago. Right now I'm working on a big trip to Dubrovnik, so that will be forthcoming. Also plans to go to Tucson and Philadelphia this year.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">I'll throw in some miscellaneous photos here just for fun.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">All my best,</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">Gena</span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">P.S. When I put two spaces between sentences, please forgive me. I've typed for 40 + years and it is a habit that is hard to break. To me, it does look weird to have the sentences so close together, but I'm going to try.</span></span></p><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJqruPI0zjAezJvZx0dIBWOlPVQ71UQiBJlkoiJZ_-a3i3BojejUCRr8qgxnFzvB4WWsBpbJRBvu6hk-w_lDst2ZxuKpn8ofTSn2sWaPwHIjxjFPDKxsVqrntTaHFf-4q0XjH5aPwi8abBTJXhNfYT2CiUdd0iFQ77ZDqiRXXbAwzYjIgcj61Y-p6nLQ/s1532/Resized_20230325_191352.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1210" data-original-width="1532" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJqruPI0zjAezJvZx0dIBWOlPVQ71UQiBJlkoiJZ_-a3i3BojejUCRr8qgxnFzvB4WWsBpbJRBvu6hk-w_lDst2ZxuKpn8ofTSn2sWaPwHIjxjFPDKxsVqrntTaHFf-4q0XjH5aPwi8abBTJXhNfYT2CiUdd0iFQ77ZDqiRXXbAwzYjIgcj61Y-p6nLQ/w400-h316/Resized_20230325_191352.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">Friends I met years ago in Cancun.

We took Key West Express for a few days of exploration, photos and food. We had a great time and I adored the croissants, just like France. We rode the trolley, took a sunset cruise and all that for a "no sunset" type of sun going down. Key West is known for sunsets, that was a bummer. But the smoked fish dip I had for two meals made up for that.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pcbf2FOpfow/YA4Zc-B8WuI/AAAAAAAAxQ4/1h3_dULE7NwjZglQr66jHRoHO_xmQaY0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4356.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Started with a Walking Tour and learned lots of history, oldest city in the United States. Toured distillery that surprisingly made run, gin, vodka and bourbon. We had a tiny taste of each type along with their special mixers. Took a night time holiday boat tour to see the famous St. Augustine Christmas lights. Had several bowls of She Crab soup which made my holiday bright and tasty. Enjoyed lunch on the pier at Joe's Crab Shack and then stopped for some salt water taffy (haven't had that for such a long time). A best pizza at Captain Pizza, just a hole in the wall, but so darn good. Walked on the beach and just had a good, restful time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Had my friends Hilda and Rosa for lunch and stupidly forgot to take a picture. Here is the table, we ate outside on the patio and it was nice.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lHenOcCu8-I/YAsja-3U6lI/AAAAAAAAxPY/baN3KLVylRoO7S24sDIAgiVoTZ-isbwHACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20201223_115718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lHenOcCu8-I/YAsja-3U6lI/AAAAAAAAxPY/baN3KLVylRoO7S24sDIAgiVoTZ-isbwHACLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/20201223_115718.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a little windy so I had to put down painted</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">rocks to hold table cloth down. Practical use</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">of the rocks.</div><br /><div>Lovely Christmas dinner with my (I just wrote "our" -- I always speak of us) dear friends Dave and Heather. Our annual "Castaway" get together, but cut down to a very small group. Somehow Dave didn't cut down on the size of the prime rib. So fun to spend time with friends and enjoy a lovely dinner. Thanks Dave and Heather, that pretty much was my Christmas celebration.</div><div><br /></div><div>Almost end of the year and took a nice "stroll" in Walshingham Park with Heather. I'd never been there and it is a picturesque park with excellent walking paths. We walked (strolled) 2 miles. Heather walks with another friend once a week and she said they walk 6 miles. I appreciated her going with me.</div><div><br /></div><div>New Year's Eve day I had Sue and Q and Vickt over at 12 noon - our New Year's Celebration. I made Crab Soup and Funeral Sandwiches. The soup was a disappointment and I'll have to experiment with different recipes. At $23 a can for crab meat I won't be making it often. That was a bummer, but live and learn, my first time trying. I adore crab soup so do want to try another recipe. The one I used looked decent. It wasn't awful, just no flavor.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s_7kSkuD5m0/YAsk_-Uz87I/AAAAAAAAxPg/EXYY5yQuwEk14lkEQaKkyHOA6AdohiEQgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20201231_133640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s_7kSkuD5m0/YAsk_-Uz87I/AAAAAAAAxPg/EXYY5yQuwEk14lkEQaKkyHOA6AdohiEQgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20201231_133640.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><p>New Year's Eve was home and watch the ball drop. Pretty uneventful. Recalled the big parties in Boise, out in the snow, shooting off fireworks and once a shotgun (quite a memory). But just glad to get this year behind us and hope that we'll see improvements in the New Year.</p><p>So close out Covid 2020, and let's move on with vaccinations, health and TRAVEL!!!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655148401542094160.post-86024174952556456152021-01-22T10:02:00.001-08:002021-01-22T10:04:40.356-08:00November 2020 - month in review<p> November 2020 highlights</p><p>Celebrated Robert's birthday with some BBQ, tried Sonny's and it was very good.

Great group of super folks.</p><p>*****#1***** Was talking with Rosa about my love of shells and desire to find my first whole sand dollar. Saw lots and lots of broken 1/2 and 3/4 sand dollars and lo and behold, looked down and there she was. My beautiful whole, entire, real sand dollar. I was on "Cloud 9". Two hour, slow walk with photographs and lots of laughs. One for the books.</p><p>Side trip as friends hadn't seen pier so drove down there and saw dolphins (or a dolphin?). That was cool. And then I was "blessed" when pooped on by a damn seagull. Gosh, what an experience, must say that was also a "first" and hopefully a last. He got 3 out of the 4 of us. I'll do the sand dollars again, but pass on this. Now I've got to figure out a cool craft for the shells. They are washed but have to be bleached and prepared (hardened). I'm sure this will be great fun.</p><p>The day was perfect, temperature, breeze, vibe and amigos.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--oYGSAUkCFo/X6Qtb49esVI/AAAAAAAAwsI/MdHNNj9P9IM7BMPhRtihjMKL9e_xUiLmwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4133.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--oYGSAUkCFo/X6Qtb49esVI/AAAAAAAAwsI/MdHNNj9P9IM7BMPhRtihjMKL9e_xUiLmwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF4133.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuSbCL5KWmc/X6Qtb9sz32I/AAAAAAAAwsA/IyEbFlIDAA4do4MRdfmLO1LHDZLxsGzuQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4134.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuSbCL5KWmc/X6Qtb9sz32I/AAAAAAAAwsA/IyEbFlIDAA4do4MRdfmLO1LHDZLxsGzuQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF4134.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This tidal area looks like some type of outer space planet.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uHQlL7Kub4E/X6Qtb1O2PnI/AAAAAAAAwsE/7rSKYf1WlnkfFWykdxwnpg8fKWQ4SyEPwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4135.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uHQlL7Kub4E/X6Qtb1O2PnI/AAAAAAAAwsE/7rSKYf1WlnkfFWykdxwnpg8fKWQ4SyEPwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF4135.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvXFVbTeOdo/X6QtejSh6bI/AAAAAAAAwsM/iTSAq6Om-AkUavmq5el5Gi6RB5aujpKwgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4136.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvXFVbTeOdo/X6QtejSh6bI/AAAAAAAAwsM/iTSAq6Om-AkUavmq5el5Gi6RB5aujpKwgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSCF4136.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-INMRCprsWe0/X6QtfZVy8JI/AAAAAAAAwsU/qNmbWdB4o_k7o7JoGfxRlyxhTd0mHo76gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4137.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-INMRCprsWe0/X6QtfZVy8JI/AAAAAAAAwsU/qNmbWdB4o_k7o7JoGfxRlyxhTd0mHo76gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSCF4137.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hZd3W1MMGUs/X6QtfRXK_hI/AAAAAAAAwsQ/QEh3VdFVqVAXLW7wBH5Kgy1keBF2cdfMQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF4138.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hZd3W1MMGUs/X6QtfRXK_hI/AAAAAAAAwsQ/QEh3VdFVqVAXLW7wBH5Kgy1keBF2cdfMQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF4138.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our leader, Eric.

We'd gotten together via Zoom a few times, but it was so nice to see our friends in person. Met at Florida Botanical Garden for a scavenger hunt and happy the rain held back, but just barely. Sue, Q and me went to dinner at The Savory, a place that was close and had outdoor dining. It was truly amazing. Everything we had was delicious, great service. I loved it and will be back again. I even ate healthy and took half home for dinner the next night.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D6Kab4wMrEo/X7z49NTaBYI/AAAAAAAAwys/2OYg66MSCvsnoYA4WhsM2M6sVTFbh-xnACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/unnamed%2B%252811%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="640" height="381" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D6Kab4wMrEo/X7z49NTaBYI/AAAAAAAAwys/2OYg66MSCvsnoYA4WhsM2M6sVTFbh-xnACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h381/unnamed%2B%252811%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photo credit Sue Olnick</span></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Thanksgiving at Sue and Quinton's house.

Happy and grateful to be healthy and be able to enjoy a lovely meal with friends. Sue did a great job of social distancing and we all felt safe. Thanks Sue.</div><div><br /></div>Week of Nov. 23rd home for a few days trying to get things done. Getting ready for garage sale down in Englewood with my friend Deb.

We drove up to Show Low, AZ, via Superior, Miami, Globe, arriving at our hotel around 4:30 p.m. We drove through the Salt River Canyon, a very scenic area.</p><p>First stop was Superior. We drove around and took photos of the historic downtowns in all these little towns. They are showing signs of age and lack of population. Felt a little sad to see these places dying out. These were old mining towns with histories back to the 1870's.</p><p>1/22/21 - Best finish this up, shortened version. Cheryl and I had a great trip seeing Fall in the White Mountains.

That is why Cheryl and I went together, because many people are destination oriented and wanted to see all the spots and stop and take photos. It was a great trek up the mountain. Once we arrived and started seeing yellow in the area we knew we were in for the treat. There is always the fear that you can miss the right time and the leaves will be gone. John and I went to Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont the year I retired (2012 - see blogs) and did "Leaf Peeping" as they call it.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PU-vYIY27F0/YAsC43kBMRI/AAAAAAAAxL4/5RDXgI4scVcpbguGNdDqR2eKGkB4oJ9eACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3841.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

My plan was to come home empty handed, but did find a few things. I'm having trouble being a minimalist. There is always good stuff and we did have fun. Surprising how nice some of these thrift stores are these days.</span></p><p><span>Tuesday, I took Cinnamon in for an oil change. She only had a little over 3,000 miles, but I figured I'd just do it to be sure she was happy. It was a long, high speed, hot drive so just wanted to be sure, since she's new, that there weren't any yucks in the oil. I did over do it as the first oil change is due at 7,500 (and I had to pay for this since it was so early), but that's OK. She also got a gentle car wash for free so looked very pretty. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OJaV9-y2il8/X3Z3dlxtBQI/AAAAAAAAwd4/UihblMqpmMASUw1mjETkNpnAgLsjvDFfwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200929_102852_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OJaV9-y2il8/X3Z3dlxtBQI/AAAAAAAAwd4/UihblMqpmMASUw1mjETkNpnAgLsjvDFfwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20200929_102852_HDR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wednesday, Cheryl and I worked on painting rocks and relaxed. I treated Mike and Cheryl to dinner at Churrasco de Brazil, a special place that is carnivore heaven. Had a tiny bit of salad, and then all types of meat -- as much as we wanted (which was a lot). Tried not to over eat to the point of getting sick. Actually had room for dessert that we three shared, along with an amazing after dinner drink, Carajillo (made with Liquor 43, a vanilla flavored liquor made in Cartegena, Spain -- that contains 43 ingredients.

Felt good to take a short walk while it was cool. I just went down to the end of the block that was a dead end and turned around, but I enjoyed it. Still early, Cheryl took me to Agua Caliente park that is listed on the Register of Historic Places. It looks like an oasis in the desert. An old ranch and later health spa because of thermal water, founded in 1873, had been through many owners and fell into neglect. The State bought the property and the park, is 101 acres. Lovely place for a good walk. Many people out enjoying nature.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When I ordered the guy said, OK, that will be about 5 minutes" and to me these were magic words because that meant they were making them fresh -- hot. So for $8 I had 7 churros and sat right there in a lawn chair in front of the trailer in the shade, no drink, and devoured all of them. Mike was astounded I could have eaten 7 of them. They were so good.

I said yes, and sent a message. So Tuesday morning I met Eileen for breakfast at a cute French bistro type restaurant she chose, Mimi's Cafe. We had a nice meal and a fun visit. It Always nice to visit and share stories, she's a nice lady. Thanks for breakfast!!!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nudk80RaUrs/X2w7E1KVgeI/AAAAAAAAwTo/GBGjKltw7D8DRRAE0ZpokUHNxR4wRE42ACLcBGAsYHQ/s960/120138018_10220373257194789_6218416354288119719_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nudk80RaUrs/X2w7E1KVgeI/AAAAAAAAwTo/GBGjKltw7D8DRRAE0ZpokUHNxR4wRE42ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/120138018_10220373257194789_6218416354288119719_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Eileen, a wonderful breakfast visit.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ5RzBl4txM/X2w7ExfcjBI/AAAAAAAAwTg/KLIsVi_MfzMIJefhCuIBViS9a7Mee-2RgCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/120174246_10220373256914782_1410041935267048672_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ5RzBl4txM/X2w7ExfcjBI/AAAAAAAAwTg/KLIsVi_MfzMIJefhCuIBViS9a7Mee-2RgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/120174246_10220373256914782_1410041935267048672_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Such good food.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YRhrrZpauQk/X2w7EwJWIZI/AAAAAAAAwTk/Pmbsv1b22lUXBMj61j2JqGE6guSsTDKcQCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/120223250_10220373256674776_5300181564875582825_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YRhrrZpauQk/X2w7EwJWIZI/AAAAAAAAwTk/Pmbsv1b22lUXBMj61j2JqGE6guSsTDKcQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/120223250_10220373256674776_5300181564875582825_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Such a cute place, I loved it.</div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After breakfast, with my trusty GPS, I decided it was time to go and wash Cinnamon. She's been cross country, up on dirt roads camping and is parked on a dirt spot. She was a mess. So I went to the wash it yourself place and for $1.25 I cleaned her up and made her presentable. First time I've used that type of car wash. I'm afraid to drive into those other ones so this was fine I might be the only person in America who washes her car at home. I'm just too cheap to pay for a car wash, and I think those brushes are too strong for a car. I'll just get a good hand detail at my house once a year to keep her waxed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Then to Safeway for a few groceries. I'm going to make Hungarian Goulash for dinner tomorrow night and I am sure looking forward to eating it. I asked Mike if he would smoke a brisket for me. He has a Traeger smoker and does some great meat. It should taste amazing so we'll have to go to the store (Safeway was out of them today). Really looking forward to smoked brisket, one of my favorites.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wednesday, Cheryl and Mike took me on an interesting day trip. We stopped first at the San Xavier del Bac Mission, 1692<b>.</b> John and I had been there before with them, but it was special to go back and see it again. They call it the Dove of the Desert, as it is bright white and shines out from the bleak desert and can be seen for miles away from the freeway. She is a beauty and was built by Father Kino who was instrumental in getting areas of Arizona started as he built several Catholic missions.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5oUhAD9XKYo/X2w9Khnya0I/AAAAAAAAwT4/1Q-A7jiDESgzhFdJjsBG873huvEsl1MGwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3555.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1965" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5oUhAD9XKYo/X2w9Khnya0I/AAAAAAAAwT4/1Q-A7jiDESgzhFdJjsBG873huvEsl1MGwCLcBGAsYHQ/w614-h640/DSCF3555.JPG" width="614" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SlJLboM7THU/X2y5keKAVAI/AAAAAAAAwV0/u8iPZWu_rXwXgSQ9pK0cywBoDfVLlKYlACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/120048134_615913095979275_2815979928667301152_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SlJLboM7THU/X2y5keKAVAI/AAAAAAAAwV0/u8iPZWu_rXwXgSQ9pK0cywBoDfVLlKYlACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/120048134_615913095979275_2815979928667301152_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Great day with great folks.

I looked at the menu and almost fainted as they had cochineta pibil tacos which is hard to find and my favorite!!!!! I was so excited. Good beans, rice, but their salsa was almost a joke. I will send them a salsa recipe, no flavor or heat at all. But the tacos made up for everything. Yum and double yum.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sztFvLkrOzU/X2w-v2Nv0RI/AAAAAAAAwUc/bxv6GJk-Gmw7Eq0aa6jSilbd6n9RnI6swCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3574.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sztFvLkrOzU/X2w-v2Nv0RI/AAAAAAAAwUc/bxv6GJk-Gmw7Eq0aa6jSilbd6n9RnI6swCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/DSCF3574.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A guy who really enjoys his beer.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H-u1-kVovjk/X2w-v1Sv6wI/AAAAAAAAwUY/furzHxKukckhQdLSjvMmcyU-YTnKGDEPwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3575.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H-u1-kVovjk/X2w-v1Sv6wI/AAAAAAAAwUY/furzHxKukckhQdLSjvMmcyU-YTnKGDEPwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3575.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After lunch to the Presidio and museums at the State Park. It is run by volunteers who do a very good job. The area was very enjoyable, just super hot out, around 100, but no humidity so survivable. Tubac was established in 1752 and it had the first school and first newspaper and many other firsts in the state of Arizona.

Took me about 15 minutes to slowly get in, but I did it. Prior I'd had 2 beers so that might have helped. Felt refreshing after a few minutes of getting used to it.

All for now.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMCBXCUQWpo/X3FR33bHpsI/AAAAAAAAwYY/ZVLr0AdCY2sOdXOy0rOvFfA-z0zM4tCYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s666/2f1eae77b3aed09bc1dfaab59c4db012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMCBXCUQWpo/X3FR33bHpsI/AAAAAAAAwYY/ZVLr0AdCY2sOdXOy0rOvFfA-z0zM4tCYwCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/2f1eae77b3aed09bc1dfaab59c4db012.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">* Mistletoe: <span style="text-align: center;">https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1JZAP_enUS698US698&sxsrf=ALeKk00VMCKGJ7iDVBvnedNnhZmDNQL_yQ:1601301737025&q=mistletoe+in+trees+arizona&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj_ktrpgYzsAhUVpZ4KHUTpDMcQirwEKAB6BAgUED4&biw=1229&bih=578</span></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655148401542094160.post-44997444984203080482020-09-28T09:59:00.000-07:002020-09-28T09:59:10.114-07:00National Coffee Day 2020 - Blessed We Be There is Coffee<div data-block="true" data-editor="8p3ns" data-offset-key="7c708-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="7c708-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="7c708-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Tomorrow is National Coffee Day!!!!!!!!!

In Tucson, have to eat Mexican food. Tuesday, up early for 3 1/2 hour drive North to Camp Verde to see my dear friend Cathy and her son, Jake. Seemed like a long drive, up/down hill, lots of mountain curves so I was glad when I arrived. Cathy gave me the tour of the homestead. I loved her home. It felt so peaceful and every window had a pretty view of her yard. She and Jake have worked hard planting veggies and fruit trees - making it their Garden of Eden. Jake created a nice pond with a waterfall that has a nice sound as it runs over the rocks. Lots of porches and cool areas to hang out. A real zen feel to the place and I'm glad I got up for a visit. I feel they found the perfect home for their retreat.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-unKhm2Q0upQ/X2qtGS-4FCI/AAAAAAAAwRI/QRg1sJKd6IcfyEO7VCSY4CEwZfwU6v99wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3447.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-unKhm2Q0upQ/X2qtGS-4FCI/AAAAAAAAwRI/QRg1sJKd6IcfyEO7VCSY4CEwZfwU6v99wCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/DSCF3447.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mango margarita and snacks - a hit.</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hr6Qepx1UNc/X2oIal_FI4I/AAAAAAAAwPE/OhJFASt0_WkR_5ccp1cnluA83G1Vi-GQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3477.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hr6Qepx1UNc/X2oIal_FI4I/AAAAAAAAwPE/OhJFASt0_WkR_5ccp1cnluA83G1Vi-GQQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/DSCF3477.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Structured water, original source from Oak Creek Canyon.

We stayed there and made day trips into Sedona since it was so expensive to stay there. We went into some really fun stores. The Hippie Emporium was great and brought back many memories. I bought a bumper sticker that said "Peace is Possible". Then we decided to do a wine tasting flight that we did share since Cathy was driving and those flights can be potent. Nothing to write home about, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.</span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Next, met a fun man in his clock store. He told us if he had $1,000 for every time someone said "I remember our old cuckoo clock and don't know what happened to it" that he would be a rich man. The three of us were all originally from No. California so we must have talked for a half an hour. It was a fun visit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hungry at this point I treated Cathy to Mexican lunch. Oh my gosh, we found the best place and I don't think I have had a shredded beef burrito that good in 25 years. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Tired out, we headed home and Cathy got cleaned up to go for a job interview for private nursing for a baby. I drove her over there and sat in the car, temperature around 95 degrees, for about two hours waiting for her to finish. Took a little nap just in the front seat. A lady pushing a stroller with a baby came by and asked if I was OK. I said yes, fine, just waiting for my friend. I was parked in the middle to two house at the curb so as not to be right in front of someone's house. That same lady walked by a little later and we visited a couple a minutes. Then the homeowner who lived in the house at the front of my car came home from work I suppose. She just looked over a minute and then went in the house. About 20 minutes later her husband drove into the drive way and glanced over - not wanting to seem like he was interested. So I'm sitting there and I see this Sheriff car come up the hill, pass me and then it pulls in back of me. One of the officers gets out on the driver's side and cautiously approaches me. He says, "Hi, are you all right?" I said, "Yes, I'm fine, I'm waiting for my friend" and explained that Cathy was at that house over there and with HIPPA laws I could not be up there to know anything about any medical care for family. Then the other officer came over to my right window and said hi. I could not believe it when he said, "Do you have a place to sleep?" I wanted to just start cracking up, but I just calmly said yes I do, I'm staying with my friend in Camp Verde, she's up there at that house for a job interview and I'm waiting for her. He looked in the back of my car (which was a mess and had my curtains and sleeping bag visible). But I guess I was able to defend my presence and I was very surprised that they did not even ask me for my ID. I suppose I was a bit suspicious with Florida plates, but they must have known I wasn't a bag lady since I was in a brand new car. So anyway, it was very funny to me as that's the first time I've ever been stopped by the police. I guess in a way it was nice because I supposed I could have been a person who did need help in that heat. Just an interesting, and to me, funny situation. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h8dBWBZFzVE/X2qxNLb2ZLI/AAAAAAAAwSs/yRd5i_DXBmU-1dW6xpIniqdOXLFVVDkKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1024/9242960671_fd12d2ea8c_b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h8dBWBZFzVE/X2qxNLb2ZLI/AAAAAAAAwSs/yRd5i_DXBmU-1dW6xpIniqdOXLFVVDkKgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/9242960671_fd12d2ea8c_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh no, they're coming to take me away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(not my photo, I would have been crazy to ask for their picture).</div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Up Friday for my drive back to Tucson. Got to Mike and Cheryl's house and we went with lots of folks for Mexican food and then for a memorial birthday celebration at the accident site for Cheryl's son-in-law, Nick, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in February. It was a nice way to remember and there was an amazing turn out of friends and family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Saturday Mike and Cheryl had a small family get together. Met some fun relatives, Eric and Mysteri, and their adorable son Oliver. Eric brought some "ugly steaks" an Arizona thing, a copyrighted meat that is marinated, and they were so good when Mike grilled them. Just fun eating and visiting in the evening.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sunday. Cheryl and I had our annual pedicure together. Very clean and sanitary with everyone wearing masks. Went to Kohl's and found a good sale. Needed a bathing suit bottom and bought two little t-shirts that with sale were $2.35 each - what a bargain. Cheryl and I had lunch and headed home.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IkRz4_1vcfM/X2w6Y2L3HiI/AAAAAAAAwTY/4YDQFiydI6YdNNgeKo_WNaI-LMQLNAixgCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/120136542_10220373256394769_1447488499328520142_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IkRz4_1vcfM/X2w6Y2L3HiI/AAAAAAAAwTY/4YDQFiydI6YdNNgeKo_WNaI-LMQLNAixgCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/120136542_10220373256394769_1447488499328520142_n.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">On Monday, Cheryl took me out of Tucson to Tubac and other areas.

Next day made it to Fort Stockton, a place I always end up when traveling through Texas. Just nothing to write home about, but it is just the place where a stop is almost required as it is in the middle of nowhere. I decided to get a room as it was very hot. Stayed at Hampton Inn which was nice and did include a good breakfast. I was surprised that we were able to serve ourselves breakfast. Sure was nice to have a meal and coffee to get the day started. A/C felt good overnight and I had a good sleep.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O6Tw-N4NX3U/X2LQu25YKLI/AAAAAAAAwDw/Oe7Yl2TtIWoObHoQ_jkUhC7qoTz9FubQACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_065257.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O6Tw-N4NX3U/X2LQu25YKLI/AAAAAAAAwDw/Oe7Yl2TtIWoObHoQ_jkUhC7qoTz9FubQACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200905_065257.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Back at it, driving!!!! Arrived in Deming, NM, amazing to FINALLY be out of Texas. That state is just so huge. Again too hot to sleep in Cinnamon so got a room at the La Quinta. They did not serve breakfast (or even a breakfast bag) which was disappointing. No discount for no breakfast. Certainly not the Hampton Inn, but less money too and pretty nice. Got into room and decided to try to find something to do. Found a nice winery that was about a ten minute drive, called D.H. Lescombes Winery & Tasting Room. I got a flight of sweet wine (was surprised they had so many sweeter wines) and the wine was some good stuff. I didn't finish my last glass because I had to drive back to the hotel. Stuff hit me pretty hard since I hadn't drank anything since May 15th, when I began my "diet." I bought two bottles of wine to bring to Arizona to share with Cheryl. Then had a Hatch chili burger at a hamburger joint and pretty early to bed.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4OZICBppnhU/X2LRQSwwjMI/AAAAAAAAwD4/7MU8g3hoO20p2hF0odXcHg3Unbfkl3YKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_134112.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4OZICBppnhU/X2LRQSwwjMI/AAAAAAAAwD4/7MU8g3hoO20p2hF0odXcHg3Unbfkl3YKgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20200905_134112.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally out of Texas.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8o8r7Y-rjtM/X2LRbH9XTKI/AAAAAAAAwD8/NlWHP8b8p5QdVcRSS6OrEQfJoXRMjdf6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_134245.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8o8r7Y-rjtM/X2LRbH9XTKI/AAAAAAAAwD8/NlWHP8b8p5QdVcRSS6OrEQfJoXRMjdf6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200905_134245.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2x1sm5bTYLQ/X2LRs0OEr1I/AAAAAAAAwEE/YeTDFRiHhZEjxnZxg7jzOKMTgSVbqoHkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_134720_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2x1sm5bTYLQ/X2LRs0OEr1I/AAAAAAAAwEE/YeTDFRiHhZEjxnZxg7jzOKMTgSVbqoHkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200905_134720_HDR.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dkepg0lplIs/X2LR6D1RyKI/AAAAAAAAwEI/Nl5LFolwp04D5r_KGLt4yhQao0XyBBz6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_134815.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dkepg0lplIs/X2LR6D1RyKI/AAAAAAAAwEI/Nl5LFolwp04D5r_KGLt4yhQao0XyBBz6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200905_134815.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T64N0FTqHR0/X2LR7ofXnQI/AAAAAAAAwEM/9JEPLp5EIYoJs7kDfil9Y3LiGAGGCezswCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200905_164615_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T64N0FTqHR0/X2LR7ofXnQI/AAAAAAAAwEM/9JEPLp5EIYoJs7kDfil9Y3LiGAGGCezswCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/20200905_164615_HDR.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On the road Sunday morning and I will get to my destination today.

That worked out great since I do require mass quantities of coffee each day. About an hour out I texted Cheryl and she said she would meet me at Safeway in Springerville. So glad to have arrived and need to get to camp and stop driving. Got there and met a bunch of new people and saw that the camp was pretty sophisticated with a kitchen and dining room area set up. It was so amazing.</span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So good to see Cheryl & Mike and their little dog, Missy. We sat played some dominos, ate dinner (just one of the best meals) and sat around the campfire. Dessert was s'mores that I haven't had in a long time and that was a perfect camping treat. Had a nice bed in Mike & Cheryl's 5th wheel. Even had a fireplace that we used every night. We were up at around 8,000 feet, cool days which was refreshing for us all. The thin air at the elevation made everything seem to take a little more effort to do.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We camped in the White Mountains at Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Lots of fun roads we got to explore, some nice trails and the most beautiful groves of aspen trees. Very soon they will turn yellow and we might make a trip up to see them. There is nothing prettier than a huge grove of aspens surrounded by evergreens.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AwlzscCJFTk/X2NoJf__m-I/AAAAAAAAwEk/X1rc3xdfu9wHl7VsA5UEtbEbS6DTmdFJwCLcBGAsYHQ/s720/FB_IMG_1600010789479.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AwlzscCJFTk/X2NoJf__m-I/AAAAAAAAwEk/X1rc3xdfu9wHl7VsA5UEtbEbS6DTmdFJwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/FB_IMG_1600010789479.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>*not my photo<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TrofkCrD3Ko/X2NojB00dlI/AAAAAAAAwEs/1x3f7ntQXuAaEjhtU2qBozA54ezqEsozQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3444.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TrofkCrD3Ko/X2NojB00dlI/AAAAAAAAwEs/1x3f7ntQXuAaEjhtU2qBozA54ezqEsozQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3444.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This show pile of coals is under a chair.

John and I had met her several years ago couch surfing on our way to Florida, and this was my third night with her over the years. She's such a sweetie. She is working from home so it was nice to be able to just arrive whenever. I took her out for a good Mexican dinner and we had fun. She has built a new home since the last time I saw her and it was lovely. She is such a great decorator. Hoping to stop by on my way home and stay more than one night so we can do something fun together.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5Wjc15G7YU/X1_OmKKuu_I/AAAAAAAAv8w/_fPAqzuMZioQgr9JwrUyCOhBD-epgwSVACLcBGAsYHQ/s828/119437616_318753542750844_8465082108504982212_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="828" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5Wjc15G7YU/X1_OmKKuu_I/AAAAAAAAv8w/_fPAqzuMZioQgr9JwrUyCOhBD-epgwSVACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/119437616_318753542750844_8465082108504982212_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OsB6_0Ng99M/X1_7u_RSTOI/AAAAAAAAv_M/HVN_FJq-rUATmSiPpDeXuyVp7EMayU7wQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200831_193905.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OsB6_0Ng99M/X1_7u_RSTOI/AAAAAAAAv_M/HVN_FJq-rUATmSiPpDeXuyVp7EMayU7wQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200831_193905.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Beautiful feather artwork.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Monday, long drive day. Stopped and had chicken fried steak with eggs at Denny's and it was so good. They do a very good CFS, a favorite of mine. After 3 solid months of "diet" it was so, so, so good. Spent my first night in the car at a 24-hour gas station around Baton Rouge. It was about 90 degrees in the car, so my little fan saved my life. After that night I decided if it was 90 or above I would have to get a room. Just too hot. Again, I reminded myself I'm not 30. It was an OK night despite the heat and not scary since there were people around. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ul0Q7PCANi4/X2DkqVXrZHI/AAAAAAAAwCE/RXvdUCgCoQMCJ8Ex0U8wy4183WUF_4emwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_072948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ul0Q7PCANi4/X2DkqVXrZHI/AAAAAAAAwCE/RXvdUCgCoQMCJ8Ex0U8wy4183WUF_4emwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20200902_072948.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Little me in the middle.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_YjPwQbS5c/X2DkqOUHlkI/AAAAAAAAwCA/2yquI0qixN02H_jCeBYKNxP6mvESwJ1-ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_073032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_YjPwQbS5c/X2DkqOUHlkI/AAAAAAAAwCA/2yquI0qixN02H_jCeBYKNxP6mvESwJ1-ACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20200902_073032.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Home Sweet Home for the night.</div></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the morning I wanted to go see something while there. It was important to me not to just drive, but to find a little time to check out some things along the way. I've been to Baton Rouge twice before so checked out TripAdvisor for top 10 to dos and decided to go to the Louisiana State University Museum of Art downtown, right next to the Mississippi River. I had just joined the Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg, FL and it is a member of the Reciprocal Museum Agreement. I asked if LSU Museum was a member and they were, so free admission. Very nice, small (perfect sized museum for a morning). Even had a painting by Diego Riviera. Thoroughly enjoyed this reprieve from the road that morning.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--T6Bnev0ELg/X1_x50sfnTI/AAAAAAAAv9A/Kn6VRhoShpYo87dCIlkzodkFTyiWvItRwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_091738_Burst01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--T6Bnev0ELg/X1_x50sfnTI/AAAAAAAAv9A/Kn6VRhoShpYo87dCIlkzodkFTyiWvItRwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200902_091738_Burst01.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fun fountain in front of museum</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCMnE3y8ohw/X1_x64OpsLI/AAAAAAAAv9I/WKOuxRbI1GoYNZY96LyiaGsM3Y-Ka9v0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_092619_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCMnE3y8ohw/X1_x64OpsLI/AAAAAAAAv9I/WKOuxRbI1GoYNZY96LyiaGsM3Y-Ka9v0ACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/20200902_092619_HDR.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another interesting fountain across the street from art museum.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--ZBgVrwu1PU/X1_x6fpngQI/AAAAAAAAv9E/rI9Qpi75zaAamjRkObB3dfpGPzpaiyAiQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_101056.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--ZBgVrwu1PU/X1_x6fpngQI/AAAAAAAAv9E/rI9Qpi75zaAamjRkObB3dfpGPzpaiyAiQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200902_101056.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Very detailed hand-carved cross.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WqGqtLADqrw/X1_x81RSjUI/AAAAAAAAv9M/zX8jIjLw3MM98e2jin1QC3xwmgaOMl0MwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_101412.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WqGqtLADqrw/X1_x81RSjUI/AAAAAAAAv9M/zX8jIjLw3MM98e2jin1QC3xwmgaOMl0MwCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/20200902_101412.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was spun aluminum, picture does not do it justice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was so cool and different.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RjfDxQNYSbc/X1_x9aNo1OI/AAAAAAAAv9Q/YnBBBJ6UgAgmal5tBOxNftgBXi3zphL4wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_110131.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RjfDxQNYSbc/X1_x9aNo1OI/AAAAAAAAv9Q/YnBBBJ6UgAgmal5tBOxNftgBXi3zphL4wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/20200902_110131.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Called: Cotton pickers.

I drove through Cameron, Louisiana, the city that about 4 days before was directly hit by hurricane Laura and it tore up the area pretty bad. I got some photos and it was so sad. The name of the city "Cameron" was upside down on the freeway, just bent over. There were hundreds of the huge billboards knocked flat along the highway. I couldn't stop and take pictures. I was surprised at the damage. Thousands of line trucks in the area and electrical lines down all over the place. Sure made me realize that I don't want to experience a hurricane up close and personal.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hKD0tqrFzas/X1_1Yis4SXI/AAAAAAAAv9o/UdVdfDug99ognBmg4F7OQqyJBylbYe0YwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3306.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hKD0tqrFzas/X1_1Yis4SXI/AAAAAAAAv9o/UdVdfDug99ognBmg4F7OQqyJBylbYe0YwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/DSCF3306.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">You know things are bad when a McD's sign is messed up.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiApG0IvDaQ/X1_1Y_UE97I/AAAAAAAAv9w/LcJplKPm8Uk4O4xo24M4mAe_cF1OD1hXACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3308.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiApG0IvDaQ/X1_1Y_UE97I/AAAAAAAAv9w/LcJplKPm8Uk4O4xo24M4mAe_cF1OD1hXACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/DSCF3308.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-elw12e2jtSs/X1_1Y6U6XgI/AAAAAAAAv9s/iqQ_krhnN-EBMEI8xJs37-b8G4A9dUMUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3309.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="375" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-elw12e2jtSs/X1_1Y6U6XgI/AAAAAAAAv9s/iqQ_krhnN-EBMEI8xJs37-b8G4A9dUMUwCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h375/DSCF3309.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-30dhZO9PZPk/X1_1bz_FRcI/AAAAAAAAv90/g7Y6UAMYMbcuVNm8X6B4xbH811N30_t4gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3310.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-30dhZO9PZPk/X1_1bz_FRcI/AAAAAAAAv90/g7Y6UAMYMbcuVNm8X6B4xbH811N30_t4gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/DSCF3310.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SEC1E6jf1mo/X1_1cWVj3oI/AAAAAAAAv94/4YoWa-_MOKMsxD332UNav5PTpBlBGfvbgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3311.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="375" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SEC1E6jf1mo/X1_1cWVj3oI/AAAAAAAAv94/4YoWa-_MOKMsxD332UNav5PTpBlBGfvbgCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h375/DSCF3311.JPG" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SWQbYQskti8/X1_1ckxUhPI/AAAAAAAAv98/2TSlftexjogzHqI6tlRHaCEk-RSkxkOegCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3312.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SWQbYQskti8/X1_1ckxUhPI/AAAAAAAAv98/2TSlftexjogzHqI6tlRHaCEk-RSkxkOegCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3312.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m0XFTD7Mer0/X1_1d0JvIwI/AAAAAAAAv-A/5VYbs87msMYOdHPO1Ep99eycZ4X-hTdUgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3313.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m0XFTD7Mer0/X1_1d0JvIwI/AAAAAAAAv-A/5VYbs87msMYOdHPO1Ep99eycZ4X-hTdUgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3313.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TfYvjuzzAUE/X1_1emHJWvI/AAAAAAAAv-E/SEyQXid8uPEkCaEVQi3kR_zlwVUnIt8OQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3314.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TfYvjuzzAUE/X1_1emHJWvI/AAAAAAAAv-E/SEyQXid8uPEkCaEVQi3kR_zlwVUnIt8OQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3314.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9ChGNl5iX_8/X1_1e1CW0aI/AAAAAAAAv-I/8cFIbB6WTZsDx7v6-E4KOTlGclNRwUKzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3315.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9ChGNl5iX_8/X1_1e1CW0aI/AAAAAAAAv-I/8cFIbB6WTZsDx7v6-E4KOTlGclNRwUKzwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3315.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My GPS took me to Silsbee on some crazy back roads, but it was pretty. Went to spend the night with my friend, another couch surfer I've know for probably 6 years. John and I met Melinda in Galveston, TX when we went on our first cruise. I had put out a note saying let me know if any couch surfers in Galveston want to meet up for a burger or brew and we met Melinda. We had stayed with her several times coming and going Idaho to FL. She and her son, Anthony, took me out for a nice seafood dinner and I had my first Boudin* balls and a bite of alligator. We we had a good visit. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bpRAuDOQm3g/X1_3Bs-utwI/AAAAAAAAv-o/kz39wie8UiEVTrdRcXPe-cel3V98bxWuQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_185942.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bpRAuDOQm3g/X1_3Bs-utwI/AAAAAAAAv-o/kz39wie8UiEVTrdRcXPe-cel3V98bxWuQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/20200902_185942.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u3OpOv21S3o/X1_596Srk3I/AAAAAAAAv-8/kNaG6sXuARUABkpgqb_3JSME6pRx_nUuwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200902_185927.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1061" height="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u3OpOv21S3o/X1_596Srk3I/AAAAAAAAv-8/kNaG6sXuARUABkpgqb_3JSME6pRx_nUuwCLcBGAsYHQ/w260-h500/20200902_185927.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Margarita called Bomb Pop</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9VHd5z4fwvs/X1_6glogOjI/AAAAAAAAv_E/HbP25WAiAEgPtH-OFRKM3hs60jt7E_D4gCLcBGAsYHQ/s500/cofboudinballs.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9VHd5z4fwvs/X1_6glogOjI/AAAAAAAAv_E/HbP25WAiAEgPtH-OFRKM3hs60jt7E_D4gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/cofboudinballs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*not my photo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBWfwsiizQM/X1_2z1WeBXI/AAAAAAAAv-g/JOxdPemIfwwsBuvIVqWfo0Jy_moslvufwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3316.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBWfwsiizQM/X1_2z1WeBXI/AAAAAAAAv-g/JOxdPemIfwwsBuvIVqWfo0Jy_moslvufwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3316.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Up early on Wednesday and hit the road for San Antonio, TX. Had an interesting side trip into a little town, Columbus, Texas. This is where the Texas Rangers were first established. Fun and well preserved historic downtown. City was established in 1837 by European Americans after Texas achieved independence from Mexico. So glad I stopped here for my rest break to enjoy this charming city.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7wyb4N88pww/X2ACS_LHHLI/AAAAAAAAv_Y/e_oOAglQuH4mRyRUtLAvWMxemutzeZJ6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200903_132437_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I had located a couch surfer lady there who welcomed me to spend the night. She called me and said she'd be gone when I arrived and set her house key under the mat. I get amazed at how great some of the folks I've met are. She got home, we visited and had a nice conversation. She was working all night so gave me her bed and she slept later in the living room. She's a counselor and helps direct people to therapy during the wee hours of the night. Nice lady and she has invited me back on my trip home. How awesome people are. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1aTwlLjptiI/X2AYC38g3FI/AAAAAAAAwA0/6vI_Gj_d-IwAOFJvuicA1cYNCR3n8R1NQCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/DSCF3318.JPG" width="300" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span>Making small space work</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f95J7820tdI/X2AYCzl4OAI/AAAAAAAAwA4/1mII-EjQ6ckAL52Y2SJnHZ8aVTHcIiR5gCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3319.JPG" style="text-align: left;" width="400" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">On my way out of town I was thinking about my prior trips to San Antonio. Thought about chicken fried steak and remembered that we had eaten at a place called Jim's. I was on the "freeway" and looked over and there was a Jim's. There are several in the area. An old established restaurant that has been around forever. I had eaten there when I went to see Robert at Lackland AF base, and again when John and I went for Robert's graduation. I had to take John since it was so good. So with all this wondering through my brain I was determined I had to go there to eat. Well, since I had just passed it I had to drive down about 5 miles to turn around. Well, if you've ever driven in San Antonio you will know that with their frontage roads, super u-turns, etc. it is a bitch. I've never been able to drive well in that city. So turned on GPS, back on the freeway, all over the place, but determined I was going to eat there come hell or high water and finally got there. Finally arrived, after about a half an hour, and had a great breakfast, with sweet memories, and it was worth all the effort to get there.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I1ho_2Pwx5M/X2AYC_7SI3I/AAAAAAAAwA8/Z4WnIsX8efAB-mpQyt-9HnRxoXxd714mQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3321.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I1ho_2Pwx5M/X2AYC_7SI3I/AAAAAAAAwA8/Z4WnIsX8efAB-mpQyt-9HnRxoXxd714mQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/DSCF3321.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happened on to this yard on my way to Jim's to eat, had</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to pull over and take some photos.

On the way to Tallahassee I said to myself, OK, you've done enough reminiscing so let's move on and have a new "you" adventure. I thought I could do it, but John was just there with me the entire trip. Finally I accepted it and went with the flow. The drive really did make me miss him so much though.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So weird when up camping when Cheryl said to me, "I haven't had any feathers from John in a long time." I said, "I know I haven't either." I even took a little walk up at camp and was looking hard, around trees and on the trail. Not a feather. The next day when we were packing up and I was on the passenger side of Mike's old truck I looked down and there was a feather. Wow, cool. I went over the driver side to show Cheryl that I had found a feather and looked down on her side and heck if there wasn't another feather -- a really pretty one. I said, "Here's your feather Cheryl." So I put the feathers in my car and it was so cool. Now the weird part. We get back to Tucson at Cheryl's house. She asked me if I needed a book to read and said that she had one she thought I might like. I said yes and later she showed me where she had one of her little piles of books. I picked up the book and sort of shook something off the top and it fell onto the other book sitting there. I looked to see what it was and it was a little feather. Cheryl does not have a bird, or a feather duster, yet there was a feather right on top of the book she suggested I read. Just amazing. John was just sending me messages. I also had a dream he was in the night before and haven't had one that I remember for 2 years. So he has been with me all along and I thank him for his messages. Guess he's just going to be my traveling companion. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sorry I write so much, wish I could keep it shorter. I'll work on that for next one.

I just bought a new vehicle, one that I can sleep in, carrying what I need so I can even stay on BLM land. I don't want to stay in hotels and hopefully can find free or $10 a night places to sleep.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uGXMebs9Sv0/X0kqRb51McI/AAAAAAAAv34/Wnyc4SR5988u2cTsdVf5cClhSvQ3Gj6dQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1204/20200811_170747.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="903" data-original-width="1204" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uGXMebs9Sv0/X0kqRb51McI/AAAAAAAAv34/Wnyc4SR5988u2cTsdVf5cClhSvQ3Gj6dQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200811_170747.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I bought new equipment, new 4" air foam mattress, solar light, USB chargeable fan (which will be needed), screen for windows at night, curtains, battery lights (one that goes on your head with a bright light). Already had sleeping bag, one burner camp stove, chair and little table. So I'm set probably with more than I need. I do love camping.</p><p>I've asked friends along the way if I can park a night in their driveway and we could distance and go out for dinner (my treat) and the response I've had has overwhelmed me. They have all said, no come in and stay inside. Mind you the temperature during the day will range from 85 to 105 so the idea of being inside is appealing. I know these people and trust them so I have said yes. Of course I would have to use their bathroom and take a shower anyway. </p><p>The shower is always a concern when "roughing" it. I just read about self car washes and thought that could be a great option, one I have not seen in anything I have read in Vanlife, Carliving. Wash the dirt and dust off car and take a shower while there. I'm pretty sure I would wear a dress or shorts, but I do think that is brilliant.</p><p>I've studied so many Utube videos on how to do this, travel, be safe, how to boondock, how to camp stealth. There is an entire world out there with many, many people actually living in vehicles. There was a good sized lady who had no other home and lived in her Prius. So I have no room to ever complain. Bless her heart.</p><p>So for me this is just going to be an adventure. I'm excited and a bit nervous, but I say go for it. After much mental debate and talking with friends I have decided to take my .38 with me. Since I am a 70 year old lady, by herself, just in case and better to be prepared than not.</p><p>As many of you know I'm not a silent sleeper, I can snore like a moose, so I'm hoping I won't need to do any city stealth camping as I'm sure if anyone walked by the car they would hear these awful sounds. I just don't think stealth will work for me.</p><p>John and my theme song. We started every car trip with this. Go Willie!!!! Can't wait to see my friends and make some new friends. I wonder how hard it will be to make friends with Covid and masks? Guess we'll see.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBN86y30Ufc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBN86y30Ufc</a></p><p>The PLAN:</p><p>Tampa - Tallahassee 253 miles</p><p>Covington, LA 379 (my longest day at 5 hr. 26 min)</p><p>Silbsee, TX 264 miles</p><p>San Antonio, TX 299 miles (great Couchsurfer lady said I could stay with her, inside!!)</p><p>Fort Stockton, TX 312 miles (why is Texas so big!)</p><p>Las Cruces, NM 286 miles</p><p>Springerville, AZ 258 miles</p><p>So that's the plan. I really did not want to, nor could I really, drive 8 or 15 hours a day. This way I can leave early, stop along the way to see a great site, have a meal if I want, and get situated before dark - which is something I 99% of the time do when I travel alone.</p><p>So now I can continue with life and my blog and I won't just have to complain about Covid and what I can't do. I hope this trip goes great and then I will keep going. Of course, I will not be up in any snow in the North in the winter. If this stuff is still here come Spring, I can head up there. That is the problem, we just don't know.</p><p>So tune in to my blogs and I'll report on my adventures.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Xbemzai6vM/X0kuFLR42rI/AAAAAAAAv4A/KKfXOAZGZ14QOu6Pzp4akybSOdd1gkuLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/1003257_10151453771871404_706449175_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Xbemzai6vM/X0kuFLR42rI/AAAAAAAAv4A/KKfXOAZGZ14QOu6Pzp4akybSOdd1gkuLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/1003257_10151453771871404_706449175_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655148401542094160.post-44174727778160938702020-08-20T13:29:00.005-07:002023-08-17T07:32:51.992-07:00Lavender Memories<span style="font-size: large;">Lavender, I chase the fields. I'd be happy to lay down on my final day and leave the earth right in the middle of a lavender field. That seems so poetic, and better than other ways to go. There is not much that is more perfect to me (besides people)......than precious lavender -- well sea turtles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to find more fields in my travels. When I made it to the premier fields in Provence it was so moving. I had to stand there and say to myself, "I'm really here." I do have occasions when the realization that I am some place where I had only dreamed about just can overwhelm me. (Eiffel Tower, snorkeling with sea turtles first time, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My first discovery of lavender was in 1980 in Black Mountain, North Carolina. I was spending 7 weeks in that area and went into a little gift shop. They had a cute purple bottle from France that I opened and it was lavender. That was love. I bought it and when it was gone I searched to see where I could get it and it was not made anymore. From that time on I've always had lavender scent and wear it almost daily. I do find that the scents are very different and out of 10 bottles I will only like one. I'm picky about it, must smell so real. It is an odd scent too, sort of medicinal and not all people enjoy it. I also love to eat lavender cookies and lavender ice cream is out of this world delish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Beautiful flowers and colors, do you know there are over 450 varities of lavender. Surprising. Here is a nice site about lavender if you want more info: </span><a href="https://www.uslavender.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73:lavender-varieties&catid=24:lavender-101&Itemid=138#:~:text=Currently%20there%20are%20over%2045,intermedia%20(also%20called%20lavandin).">https://www.uslavender.org</a><br />

<span data-offset-key="6su8h-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">I guess in so many ways I'm really lucky. I have friends who are so organized that they are having a hard time finding something to fix, organize or work on. I can safely say that I'm prepared for this to continue for quite a long time and I might still have stuff to do. Wish I could get up every day and attack projects, but then again then maybe I'd run out. So I am safe for quite a while.</span></div>

<span data-offset-key="80q5l-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">Spanish is almost over, so glad I took it since I had time and it has kept me occupied. I wasn't going to take Spanish II, but considering I learned what I did in 10 weeks, the next semester will be the same amount of work, but in 16 weeks. So I should do fine. I can't believe I'm going to move to Spanish II. Probably still could not carry on a decent conversation for more than a minute, but it just takes time.</span></div>

<span data-offset-key="80q5l-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">Doesn't look like Covid-19 is lessening, actually increasing here in Florida and we have some full hospitals. Makes me wonder when we can travel again. Oh well, can't rush it. As my dear friend Cheryl says, "It is what it is" and my motto of "patience is a virtue" is running thin. I personally know of three people who have gotten sick, but none of the three required hospitalization -- just long recovery periods. I'm so glad they got through it OK.</span></div>

I know we all could use some real ones, but guess virtual ones will have to suffice. I'll never take a hug for granted again.</span></div>

So glad I didn't go. Folks 70 and above can barely get out. The government is guarding them like jewels which is good. <br /><br />America is having riots and looting in places due to a questionable death of an Black* man in Minneapolis. There is extra emotion due to people having been locked up because of the virus so anything can cause flareups..........and I think this is the beginning. I am anticipating a "long, hot, summer". I hope I'm wrong. I lived in LA when we had the Watts Riots and we had the National Guard walking around my city (1965) and saw them with their rifles. What a weird feeling that was. <br /><br /><div>
President Trump (6/1/2020): <br /><br />In a Rose Garden address, President Donald Trump issued an order to mobilize all military resources "effective immediately" to break up any riots stemming from protests over the death of George Floyd.<br /><br />Trump threatened governors with military intervention if they do not take his "strongly recommended" advice to deploy National Guard troops to "dominate the streets."<br /><br />La loca vida.................here's Colombia<br /></div>
<div>
Location: Colombia<br /><br /> Event: Expected Demonstration at the U.S. Embassy<br /><br />The U.S. Embassy has received reports of a planned demonstration tomorrow at 3 p.m. in front of the U.S. Embassy. Colombian National Police expect 50-100 demonstrators for a “Platon Por La Vida, La Paz, y Contra La Guerra” (Protest for Life, Peace, and Against War). <br /><br />The Embassy will continue to review the protest and provide updates as necessary. <br /><br />Ebola raising its head in Africa in the Congo.<br /><br />Seems like everything is hitting at once, everywhere. <br /><br />Cities are opening up more and loosening tight controls regarding isolation. Asking for "social distancing" and .... asking people to please wear a mask if you want. (I cannot and will not forgive Trump for not wearing a mask) So time will tell if this works well. My friend sent me a great article about "fatigue" with people tiring of masks and control. Some people don't think this is real, I do. I won't be at my state capitol with my gun.<br /><br />Since I started this (6/2/20 and today is 6/13/20) looks like lots of looting in Manhattan with the rioters hitting all the high end areas, and I mean high end stores. Hope the owners had all the diamonds and good stuff out and had anticipated this. I think protests are fine, but not violence and looting, burning.<br /><br /> Anyway, I'm into my own world now. I'm working on my Spanish 3 hours a day. I figured I had time so why waste it. Meeting friends for occasional walks, park visits Zoom calls that are so fun. I've held a few Zoom Trivia Games with friends and Whine & Wine. Just trying to keep life entertaining and interesting. I am also on a very, very strict eating plan and have lost 10 pounds....that's the 10 I gained since the virus. So back to square one. So far I've been perfecto and hope to continue for several months without losing my mind and going crazy with some ______________ that I am dreaming about. My goal when I lose is to try to not go crazy but to continue eating healthy. The goal is health. I'm sure I will have an occasional croissant (I can be sure of this). But hopefully I can keep my weight down once I go to all the hard work to lose it. Time will tell. I've lost hundreds of pounds over the years just to gain them back. Let's hope I'm a little smarter now.<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="6v7mf" data-offset-key="8kc81-0-0">

</span><span data-offset-key="8kc81-0-0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">So that is the end of this saga. I'm hoping things will simmer down, that people will come to the table and talk over issues, find solutions. I hope protests got the attention of our leaders and changes can be made seriously so everyone has fair opportunities, treatment. I could go on and on, but not going to do it. Most of us know what is right and that is what we should do. I'm a huge fan of the Golden Rule and if we could live by that it would be a super great world.</span></div>
<br /> So as we move forth we hope for better days, more love and kindness and solving problems through peaceful methods.<br /><br />And on a positive note, I've survived this time because of my wonderful friends. Being able to meet while distancing. Parks, visits, crafts, walking and being out in nature. Florida is nature in your own backyard and there is always something to do. I have sure saved a ton of money by not eating out in restaurants, and I'm healthier too.<br /><br /> Looking to our future, new adventures and friends. I just hope I've learned to take the pace a little slower. We'll see, there is no guarantee.<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<br />And the good saying from the 60's, I get by with a little help from my friends. They have been crucial during this. Thanks to all of you who met up, walked with me or took me for a walk, Zoomed, FB'd, What's Upped, called, sent a card. A hard world with no hugs, but I made it. I'm going to be a hug-a-holic when this is over.<br /><br />..........and I leave with "why can't we all just get along" and one more favorite: <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">

This jumps around but I guess life has been that way so I'm not going to fix all this...................<br /><br />*African American/Black, people are divided on which is appropriate. I choose to use Black. This can be decided or some grammatical rule made some day I hope. Even had to look up whether to capitalize "B" or not - consensus is yes. <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">

I'd like to leave and find a perfect place somewhere, but I don't think there is one. This isolation (thank goodness not total) is harder than I would have imagined.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The political divisions that were bad before are now amplified ten fold. It is disgusting, just disgusting. There is barely respect toward people on opposing sides. There are conspiracy theories, no real news but the right or left slants (more than vague slants) and opinions as opposed to news. Theories that are so questionable that I can't believe people can even contemplate them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Knowledge about the virus. I'm afraid they are going to come up with some questionable vaccine. Something needed now, but I worry about looking back in ten years and saying, Oops, we just didn't know it would have that effect. Seems everyone is an expert but no one knows anything. Lots of people who don't think it is serious and take it lightly. Now, some say let's open up and others want to stay locked in due to fear. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe that a security guard, father of six children, was shot to death, over a face mask. We're seeing so much civil unrest, distrust of the government and "people standing their ground toting their guns on the front steps of state capitals. I'm a gun owner and have a concealed weapons permit, but I think to do protesting packing your guns is wrong to the core and certainly gives the Brady bunch "ammo." Ridiculous and so dangerous.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Who's in charge, the President, the governors, anyone? This whole thing has been poorly handled and just that in itself is scary. Seems people who disagree with the official line are fired, many are dying from the virus (medical personnel who had no appropriate PPE) and then of course there are the doctors in Russia who somehow are mysteriously "falling out of windows" when they have something anti-establishment to say. Blatant!!!!!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How could we possibly have our medical people (any/all) working without proper protection?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How could we possibly have have ANY grocery clerks, who make lower wages, risk their lives so that we could have food in our shopping carts and having been without any protection for so long!!!!!!!! These folks came in each day and risked their lives I just could not understand that for over a month I went into my store and they had no masks, gloves, or shield. This is really front line to me and they had taken no oath. Be sure and thank them. I've told them they are heroes which is what I believe. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Too much TV. I have never in my life watched so much TV, too much TV. I ask myself can I watch another show? Yes, some stupid shows, some good series and some documentaries. Actually, I am greatful to have this for entertainment. I just watched a documentary about Human Trafficking that really got me so worked up, it always does. How can this world have people who can traffic young people, young children, for sex. How can this be a world where we traffic people for sex, domestic labor, factory and restaurant labor. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Money and power. It is said that<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> love of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">money is the root of all evil</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">All</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> wrongdoing can be traced to an excessive attachment to material wealth. This </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">saying</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> comes from the writings of the Apostle Paul. It is sometimes shortened to “</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Money is the root of all evil</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">.” Not even looking at this as a Biblical saying, but as a human feeling, what happens to people to cause them to use and exploit others.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm disheartened, sad, disgusted. I wish i could pick up the world and shake it. I want us to be kind, thoughtful, care about others. The Golden Rule literally could work and without any other laws on the books if we could apply this. It is so simple: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It is simple and if we could live by this all laws would truly not be necessary. We would be kind, trust others, deal fairly, do the right thing. But when greed, power and the need to be in charge steps in, along with gross amounts of money that can be made, the Golden Rule just won't work.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mostly at this moment I'm sad. Discouraged. I don't know if it is good to feel this way once in awhile, but it doesn't feel good. Man's inhumanity to man.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">I suppose I could go on and list every ailment and problem we face, but I guess in the end we can only deal with so much. We can't help everyone, solve every problem.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">One ailment to add is the effect that drugs have had on this country and many others. We all learn that drugs are bad -- right? We all learned this through parents, schools and saw many movies that never show drugs as glamorous. How in the world can peer pressure or escapism cause us to play around with these potent killers. So many kids in foster care due to the drug epidemic and we can only hope they can make it without too many scars. Grandparents by the millions raising their grandchildren because the parents are unfit. Recent statistics show there are approximately 3 Million grandparents in this position.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The long term effects of drug use, socially, monetarily and criminally are taking a massive toll. It isn't just today and how we are dealing with it, but our future generations. At times this does seem hopeless. I supposed if there is a demand it will be fulfilled. How can we need this relief from drugs when we do have more than most people would have ever imagined. Drugs are in every nook, not just the poor and downtrodden, but in all classes and professions. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Abuse, prisons bursting at the seams (and drugs in the prisons!!!!), gangs who kids turn too to get a feeling of support and belonging, bullying, health issues such as obesity, sugar diabetes, homelessness. The list goes on and on. Wish there were easy answers to all of this.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">I will turn 70 tomorrow and it is interesting looking back over my life. I've seen many changes -- great ones, and many horrible ones. I hope that I have done some good and I've done some bad. I want to spend the rest of my time trying to understand what I can do for good. I used to joke with John and say "If I was Queen of the World" I would.......and we'd laugh. I could share some of my most radical ideas with him and luckily he agreed. It would be a big job that's for sure.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I suppose we all take our little parts, each day we choose what we will do, how we will do it. I think that if you can't do good by taking an action, volunteering, giving, really helping in some way, that people can at least be kind. As I always say, it doesn't cost you one single penny. A kind word in this chaotic world can make a real difference in someone's life. A smile, a compliment, free, easy. Care about your fellow human being.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">In sum, I want to say writing this all down has made me feel better but that would not be the truth. I actually feel worse as my mind goes to all the problems, and this list is limited. Will the world become a better place, and I am talking about the world not just America. We must consider the world, just like the virus did, a global pandemic. Can you even imagine it? I want to see a kindness pandemic.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Earth was able to enjoy our global lockdown. Animals came back to areas, both land and ocean, they hadn't been in a long time, the Earth took a breathe and it was nice to see a photo of Los Angeles that you could clearly see without the layer of smog.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
I have always been in love with street art of all types. This stuff is many times really big, some bold, but there to be noticed. I love cities that support it and pay some big bucks for art that is shared with the entire world for free.<br />
<br />
I'm putting this compilation together. Art from Mexico, Berlin, Paris, London, St. Petersburg, Florida, Boise, Idaho and all the places I've been to where I've been amazed by what I saw. Going through my photos I knew I had to include memorials. There are many war memorials, too many.<br />
<br />
And included will be a few photos of one of my favorites, state capitols. They are public art, free, and they have workmanship like you will never see again. Such detail, beautiful materials used (old woods, marble, granite, carvings, handmade furniture). When you travel I highly recommend an hour or two to see any state capitol you are near. I've seen 46 or 47 and my goal is to see them all. You won't be disappointment if you love workmanship, quality and architecture.<br />
<br />
Going through photos, I realized I have to include funny or unusual signs, and things that are corny that you can take your picture with. I can't pass up the put your head in the hole and be a dinosaur, or alligator. John always just groaned. I love this kind of stuff. Hope you do too.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this. I think it is rich, fun, and amazing. I don't know if I could live without art in the world.<br />

I was breaking this up weekly, but I got things together for wrong weeks/days, so it is all together now. I just can't bear going back and fixing it all.<br />
<br />
This is such a walking city. I can't imagine owning a car, or even needing one here with the great transportation system. The climate protesters did have an impact on the subway and buses as they had to divert buses around some bridges, so that did make it a little more difficult for us. When you're on a bus and the driver makes a change announcement with a bad mic and a thick British accent one can't understand, that can be a little scary. But we have managed to get around famously.<br />
<br />
Visiting in the Fall has been such a blessing......<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful dinner that Julian cooked for us. Something that I'd been wanting to have for a long time -- Croque Monsieur. A lovely, rich French sandwich (knife & fork) with ham, cheeses, sauce and broiled. They were made with great care and were perfect. Thank you for the wonderful dinner. When we headed to France so did Julian the next day, back to work and reality.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So rich and delicious</div>

Had an pretty quick trip over to Chantilly, France on October 15th. A very, very early morning to catch the train to Gare du Nord and then a train to get to Chantilly. Cheryl's friend, Vanessa, came to pick us up and drove us around showing us the area. Had a nice lunch and then we went to our rooms for the night. Next morning we walked around at a market in the rain and Vanessa came to pick us up to take us to the Chantilly Chateau and we spent several heavenly hours there. One of the most beautiful chateaus I have been to. For more details <a href="http://www.domainedechantilly.com/en/#">http://www.domainedechantilly.com/en/#</a> If in Paris, highly recommend a day trip here, only about one hour away. Had lunch with Vanessa and she drove us back to the train. The short trip was worth the effort. So nice to meet Vanessa.<br />
<br />
Saturday (Oct. 18th) we went to an photography exhibition, 50 photographers on display, in the Oxo Tower Enjoyed the photos, 4 floors filled, in this old warehouse type building. The weather was decent with partially clear sky so we decided this was a good time to try the London Eye. So we walked over and took a spin. Worth every penny. Great views and no long lines. The sky was great for photographs and we had a good time.<br />
<br />
Visited Trafalgar Square (now empty of protesters) and enjoyed our early morning picture taking without huge crowds. We had some rain and wind and my umbrella flew into the fountain, it was sort of funny. Then we visited the National Gallery. A wondrous place one can get lost in, literally. Room after room broken down by years. Plentiful examples of each artists. A very special collection.<br />
<br />
After the museum we made our way over for a visit to Chinatown. Some fun photo opportunities and we had lunch. A bit surprised there weren't really any fun stores, just more restaurants than you could imagine. We did enjoy looking around that entire area. Nothing special though. We actually were killing time because we were going to meet my friend I met in 2013 in Clearwater, she couch surfed at our house for 2 days. She was a Buddhist nun for 7 years and now travels around the world working with people on their meditation. She was called to do this. It was so great to see her and feel her positive spirit. We've tried to connect a time or two before, but just keep missing each other. A wonderful visit and Cheryl enjoyed her too.<br />
<br />
Up early to get down to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. There were so many people. Luckily we found on spot left on the fence so we could get a peek in to watch and take pictures. We were on the wrong side, so missed some of it. So crowded though I'm not sure it was worth it to me. Crushing.......... but I guess if you come to London it needs to be seen. Walked through Hyde Park again and the trees are changing colors so it was very pretty.<br />

From the Palace, we walked to Harrods - the famous department store founded in 1849. Now owned by the state of Qatar. I had no idea about that, wow. The store occupies a 5-acre site and has 330 departments covering 1.1 million square feet of retail space. It is the largest department store in Europe and lays claim to having its own unique postcode, SW1X 7XL.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The store is beautiful and, of course, outrageously expensive with only the top brands. We stopped in the coffee and a croissant (with butter and jam) each and our bill was $40 U.S. So needless to say, we won't be back, but will head for Costa Coffee, or something similar. Fun to see though and we had a good time looking.<br />
<br />
We made our trip to Liverpool on Thursday via train. I've done a separate blog for that fun day. The architecture was really stunning. Check it out if you want: <a href="http://goingtoseeitall.blogspot.com/">http://goingtoseeitall.blogspot.com</a> (See right hand side you can find all my other blogs - Liverpool).<br />
<br />
The area we are staying in is called Bermondsey, which has gone through regentrification, as in the 70's and 80's it was a pretty bad area. Now it is hip and very chic. A fun place to walk around with so many great coffee shops, little cafes and art including a large scale glassblowing shop where you can watch them creating beautiful (and expensive) glass. I won't be taking any souvenirs home from there.<br />
<br />
Bermondsey's earliest written appearance is in the Domesday Book of 1086. The area during the industrial boom of the 19th century was an extension of Bermondsey's manufacturing role in earlier eras. The area was known for processing and trading of leather and hides. You can still see warehouses called Tanner and evidence of the leather, tanning trade.<br />
<br />
I was curious about this areas history seeing the names so had to look it up. The most interesting thing was one of the reasons they wanted the tanning business out of the City of London. Not pleasant, but I think very interesting. I can only imagine the odor <br />
<br />
"The streets of Victorian London were surprisingly free of dog poo. The old 'muck = brass' equation found its most revolting solution in the leather trade. The process of tanning required copious amounts of excrement, colloquially known as 'pure', which leather workers would rub into the hides."<br />

Such a busy week, with trips to Cardiff, Wales (10/22), and to Liverpool (10/24). We really got around this week. Our time is almost over and it has flown by. It has been so good. Cheryl and I have done just about perfect for spending more than a month together, a tiny blip here and there, but as great friendships are not defined by those silly things, we emerge from our trip bonded stronger than ever through all our memories. It has been great to have such a good travel partner. We have tons in common, agree on so much Thank you my dear friend for joining me on this wonderful journey.</div>
<div>
<br />
Friday we had plans, but after a trip to Wales and one to Liverpool, both long day trips, we opted to have a stay at home, rest day. Did the wash, walked to the store, cooked some food. I think we needed a day of rest and felt better the next day for having rested.<br />
<br />
The 26th we had a ball going to the London Oktoberfest. Live music, German food and beer. We made some friends, ate, drank and danced -- a really good time.<br />

On Sunday, October 27th, we went to Hampton Court Palace. While it is still in London (at the end of it) we walked, took bus, took underground, took train and walked to get there. The Palace was not originally intended as a royal residence. It was built by Thomas, Cardinal Wolsey, minister of Henry VIII and appropriated by the King when the former failed to bring about the King's divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. King Henry VIII loved to hunt there and there are descendent deer still living on the property.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A huge palace and I think the grounds are more beautiful than the palace. This was a big place to tour and many kings spent time there. Glad we went to the effort to go see it. The day was clear with blue sky, but it was so cold. First time on the trip I had my mittens on. I should have bundled up a little more. I will tomorrow. It is starting to really cool off here and I'm not used to it.</div>
<div>

<div>
Monday, we visited St. Paul's Cathedral. <a href="https://www.stpauls.co.uk/visits/visits">https://www.stpauls.co.uk/visits/visits</a> A spectacular place and they have daily services. I took communion there and it was very special. Downstairs they have the crypts of many of Britain's national heroes are buried. Christopher Wren is entombed there, he was an amazing man who was the lead architect of St.. Paul's. He designed so many famous buildings and his life was so diverse. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Wren">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Wren</a>.<br />
<br />
After St. Paul's we took our boat cruise down the Thames River since it was a nice day. It was fun heading the down to a new area and seeing how they had saved and renovated the old docks. They have made wonderful condos while keeping the flavor of the olden days. We got to see the Cutty Sark sailing ship that was built in Scotland in 1863. Do you know what a "cutty sark" is? If not check it out, interesting. <a href="https://www.rmg.co.uk/cutty-sark/history/why-ships-name-cutty-Sark">https://www.rmg.co.uk/cutty-sark/history/why-ships-name-cutty-Sark</a><br />
<br />
On the 29th we walked through Hyde Park for our third and final time Fall was evident with the multi colored leaves and I had a sadness come over me knowing that I would be leaving London soon. While in the park we saw green parakeets that really surprised, almost shocked us. They seem to be quite common in London. There are thousands of them around the city. As I read, "you never forget your first parakeet moment."<br />
<br />
We stopped by the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. A bit of a disappointment as the water was not fully running so the effect was not there. Nice they built this memorial, but it would have been better had they maintained it better.<br />
<br />
Another surprise as we walked in Kensington Garden was the huge and beautiful monument that Queen Victoria had built, unveiled in 1872, in memory of her beloved Prince Albert, who died at the age of 42. He died of typhoid fever. They were married 21 years and she never got over his death. She dressed in black for the rest of her life.<br />
<br />
Finally arriving at our destination Kensington Palace, I was happy to see where Victoria was born and lived. It was a wonderful visit, I just loved it there. I especially thought about Victoria and Albert living there with their nine children. Her life was so interesting and the PBS program I'm watching really brings her to life.<br />

And of course, to cap our amazing day off, we had high tea reservations for Prince Albert Hall. Quite elegant and delicious. Glad we had the second high tea, both were very different and this gave us a new experience. How can I leave this place? Beautiful Hall, and walked around the round building there are many cool statutes, fountains, buildings. You can't go anywhere in London where you are not met with some surprise. It is just an amazing city.</div>

Such a busy trip going to Bournemouth, Chantilly, France, Cardiff, Wales, Stonehenge and Bath, and Liverpool. We really got around. I'm so glad we had one central location though, highly recommended so we didn't have to lug our suitcases around, just took backpacks for short trips. The time has flown by. It has been so good. Cheryl and I have gotten along just about perfect for spending more than a month together, a tiny blip here and there, but as great friendships are not defined by those silly things, we emerge from our trip bonded stronger than ever through all our memories. It has been great to have such a good travel partner. We have tons in common, agree on so much Thank you my dear friend for joining me on this wonderful journey.<br />
<br />
We made our trip to Liverpool on Thursday via train. I've done a separate blog for that fun day. The architecture was really stunning. Check it out if you want: <a href="http://goingtoseeitall.blogspot.com/">http://goingtoseeitall.blogspot.com</a> and look on the right side where all my blogs are listed. </div>

Sort of a mish mash, but instead of perfectly breaking each item down I felt it best just to get this published. As usual, I am behind still, but London is now done.<br />
<br />
I highly, highly recommend London. I could go on and on, but if you have any questions just let me know. I am so glad that I was fortunate enough to spend a month here and feel I have seen so much. I could come back again as there is still more to see. But I've got the whole world out there and as I said I'm "Going to See It All." (I wish.....time is ticking so I'm going while I can). Next trip in May will be Armenia -- now that will be different.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />4/26/2020 Sunday.....another day<br /><br />Sunday, a new day just like the others..... got my new table yesterday. My friend, Austin, did the woodwork and made the legs so I look forward to having dinners again........soon, someday? I was thinking about him and his family. They were the first friends we made in Florida, next door neighbors. We've had so many fun times over the years. Austin was a mere boy when we met and on May 9th he will turn 21 years old. Funny how he aged and I didn't.<br /><br />My table is beautiful. I bought the wood a few months ago and hired Austin to finish it for me. Lots of sanding and hard work went into it. It is so heavy and big. Has removable legs so we could get it in the door. The nice thing about a custom table is that I had it made a little shorter so I can work in my office chair and have my feet touch the ground. Ergonomically perfect for me. I promised Austin the first meal. </span></div>

<br />I immediately covered it with a plastic tablecloth and am starting on about 5 projects. Trick now is to complete one of them, LOL.<br /><br />I've been hanging pictures, art so slowly. I have too many picture and not enough walls. So trying to be selective and I can't seem to just do it. Slow, slow.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br />Fell asleep in my chair and up at 5 am, will do stuff today and then I'm sure take a nap. Listening to Santana, will file some papers. Seems I've printed out lots of recipes lately from coffee cake to limoncello. I don't have to print them, but if I don't I'll forget things I want to make. I have a drawer full now.<br /><br />Lists, I've got lists everywhere. What to buy at the grocery store (don't want to forget anything since I go only once a week). List for projects to do, people to call, etc. <br /><br />Have enjoyed visiting with friends via messenger, FB, Zoom, and actually the phone. I've had some of my longest conversations ever in my life. Talked to my friend in Boise for an hour and one half, wow. Finally had to say I've got to hang up because my elbow is hurting.<br /><br /> So upcoming week plans (too funny). I am going to try to force myself to do better starting Monday. Daily walk unless it pours like it has for a lot of the past week, and I mean torrential rain with thunder and lightening. Try again to dedicate an hour a day to my Spanish language work and get some more stuff up on the wall. Ambitious goals I know.......LOL.<br /><br />Must share my goose girl who is nesting. I've been seeing her for three weeks when I take my walk along the canal. She is getting used to me now as I gently give her a greeting. Last week she was standing up (stretching her legs I imagine) and I was able to see her four large eggs. She's such a good mom. She is so close to the road and just very exposed to people who walk along the canal. Seems the mom is the one who picks the nest location (I just read that), but it just seems like such a strange place. Says they like to have a good line of sight up high, so I guess accomplished that. I was taking pictures of her and stupidly standing in a red ant hill that I was alerted to by burning bites. So glad I had a paper towel in my hand because I had to spend ten minutes getting those horrid things off me. They were all over my shoes, socks and climbing up my legs and under my pants. Ouch, ouch. Learned a good lesson and suffered for about a week with blisters and itching. I am going to walk today and hope that the eggs have hatched so goose girl can move about. This has been a great experience watching this up close.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This week has been sad for me personally when I look at my calendar and see that I was supposed to fly to London April 22nd and fly to Paris on April 23rd for a wonderful trip. So that's the end of my whining. I hope that we can travel again safely, soon. I don't have time to sit around!!!!!! I have spent quite a bit of time working on plane, train, hotel, Airbnb, tour refunds or travel vouchers. It is so comforting to know that I have a travel voucher for Ukrainian Airlines!!!! Much rather have the money. I'm such a fiend for planning ahead, way ahead, and now I feel I might be changing my idea about that and go a little more spontaneously. My great fear is that I will have to spend a night in a train station if I don't plan ahead. Have to give this some thought for future travel.<br /><br /> I wish you all success in your endeavors. It is a good time to try new things. YouTube has been great, TED talks, Spanish lessons, different crafts and techniques, visiting with friends. I have never in my life watched so much TV. Lots of good documentaries which I enjoy, some good movies and some trashy stuff too. Can't make everything educational I guess. Eating is still challenging, but I know I'm not the only one struggling. I think a lot of us will come out of this with 5 or more pounds to show for it. I hope to look back on this experience as one where I learned new things about myself and as a result can make some improvements. I am working on perfection, but it is hard.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Good to know that everyone I personally know has not been affected by the virus. I have heard of friends of friends who have either been sick or have passed away. That does give this all a reality check. I find it amazing that some people take this as a hoax or government plot, but I guess to each their own. As for me and mine, we are going to be very careful when things open up. And, of course, I have the luxury of being retired and not having to go out and face the world to put food on the table. An almost worse part for me is how they are talking about this coming back in Fall/Winter. I guess we'll see what happens and if so, how strong it is? We just don't know.<br /><br /> So that's it from here in my messy, busy, fun and wonderful room. I do hope to make progress to get this room complete. I'll set a mental deadline, but I'm not sharing that just in case I don't make it. LOL.<br /><br /> Hugs and stay safe out there...................... </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My blog in the past has mostly been about travel. Well since there is no travel at this time I will redirect my thoughts to life -- which of course is interesting. This is such a historic time that I will hope is never repeated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been trying to post positive things for myself and to share. My post for today was:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I watched the most fascinating </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">Netflix</b><span style="font-size: large;"> documentary the other night, "Life Overtakes Me". I had never even heard of this type of trauma before in immigrant children in Sweden (now being seen quite a bit in Australia). It is called Resignation Syndrome where some refugee children go into a coma-like state upon notification that the family is to be deported back to their homeland. The documentary is 40 minutes long and I was amazed by this information. Highly recommended unless you're only a light comedy person. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Puzzles, when was the last time I've done a puzzle. This is like being a child again and looked for fun and play. How enjoyable and distracting working on a puzzle can be. I find my total attention devoted to finding that one piece and that gives my brain some rest. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Something so simple, but I just read this about the benefits: </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Solving puzzles helps reinforce existing connections between our brain cells. It also increases the generation of new relationships. This, in turn, improves mental speed and thought processes. Jigsaw puzzles are especially good for improving short-term memory."</span><br />
