We stayed home most of the summer except for a couple of weekend jaunts so now it’s time to hit the open road! Too bad we left the Goldwing at home because today was a perfect motorcycle-riding day – BUT with the predicted drop in temps, I’ll end up being happy in the 4-wheeled Honda. [...]

We toured the museum on Thursday and returned again on Friday to visit the grounds [...]
Oklahoma – Okay! Leave a comment
Last week we attended the Central States Shrine Association meeting in Oklahoma City and to say we had low expectations of the trip would be putting it mildly! After a couple of inches of water appeared in our basement on Wednesday (“someone” forgot to replace a downspout where he’s putting in a new water line) we [...]
