Days Inn Airport Montgomery

... lamps of different shapes and design, fluffy new towels, and a beautiful window shade that looked like art.

When we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by the most fun crew we've had yet. These guys have worked our show several times, and were familiar with the whole deal. So, when the van arrived late due to a flat tire, they had already unloaded the truck and were half way set up. They were so ...

... marches, Martin Luther King, Jr., Governor George Wallace, court ordered busing and integration, Rosa Parks, the bus boycott, the Southern Poverty Law Center and on and on....but THIS is the place where most of that history unfolded.

We stopped and toured the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King, Jr. was minister. We knocked on the door and a friendly woman let us in and gave the three of us a ...

... saw the design of a thistle as clear as a lightening strike. It was such a powerfully clear dream she jumped up and drew what she had seen. She then found an artisan to carve the thistle design into the staircase. I have included a close up in the pictures. Looking closely at this house reveals more and more detail of fun and imagination!!! The-day-before-Thanksgiving dinners and opening-day-of- hunting dinners are served up here at the long table every year. I can easily imagine how homey ...

... love to spare towards his work. It was a treat to meet the next generation taking care of our forests and timber lands.

Some years back while Marney was visiting her daughter, in NYC she was impressed by the health and fitness club our cousin Diane (daughter of Uncle Herb and Aunt Carol) was working at as a fitness instructor. Marney took her enthusiasm back to Montgomery, gathered a team of talented people together and created Metro Fitness Health ...

... used. By the way Davis is buried in the same cemetery where my family has a plot in Richmond.

After about three hours in Montgomery I headed west and stayed on US 80. What an amazing ride that was. I was pretty much in the middle of no where the entire day. Somewhere between Dublin and Montgomery I was it by some angry storms. The rain I can handle. When the wind is blowing so hard that it pushing me into oncoming traffic I need to pull over. I ...

... her to willingly join us in the water. So that meant I had to pull her in. This was not an easy task and she scurried out as quickly as she could.

In the afternoon, my cousin Frankie saddled up some of the horses and Alex got to go for a little ride. Then there was more swimming and even time to hold one of Uncle D's new baby ducks...a father's day gift from his daughters.

We had a very peaceful and relaxing visit and can't wait to go back again.

Rob Troke entry: Day 26, May 28th Ted's driving experience begins. We practice in the parking lot of a Publix and then head for the highway out of Florida. Ted's got the hang of it I think. We drive into southwestern Georgia and stop for dinner at Moby *****, an isolated Country Cooking place along the highway (19 miles south of Blakely). A nice, very southern, old but energetic guy walking to his car noticed our NJ plates and came ...

... Some people actually get off to "avoid trouble". When she doesn't get off, the bus driver goes back and gets in her face about it. She holds her ground and the driver calls the police who take her away. She does not resist, does not struggle, and maintains her dignity all the while. I can't imagine the powers that be at the time could have expected the incident would spark off a year-long boycott of the public bus system in Montgomery that would lead to ...

Friends, the news is good. I mean its really really good. This news is freakin' outstanding. Its fresh, chewy, homemade brownies good, and I tell you what, that is real good. But before I report the good news, let me set it up. I sold my car. After 120K miles, seven years, and hundreds of women, I finally sent the Wolfe Mobile off into the distant pasture. CarMax was unlucky enough to offer me a decent amount for it, and now ...
