Hampton Inn Eden, N.C.

... the elation my cast and I felt upon hearing this news. A long weekend, is just what we needed. Not that Danville, VA is a happening place to be, but it was restful, and had a mall next door for those who wanted to shop. Also, the hotel was nice, clean, and comfy... what more could we ask for.

...and Saturday, we're off to D.C. It's a good weekend :)

Today was another beautiful day with sun shining on falling leaves. Beau and I walked past the "No Trespassing" sign onto Lowes' empty field. We’d always wanted to go over there, but the grass was always so tall, we couldn’t. They have cut the grass or at least mashed it down so today was our day. We didn’t find anything, but we did enjoy the adventure. He bounded thru the tall wet grass and had a great ...

... he had a rough "terrible two's") stage, and we still have to watch carefully so he won't tear out of the front door for one of his high speed runs, but for the most part he is well behaved and extremely smart! The first picture was taken when we first got him; the second shows a more mature dog! He still loves to take a toy outside with him when he goes for a walk.


And I have arrived!
As I ...

... Lyrics :"California, here we come" musical inspiration from the start. The road music is bound to be great, Sumner hooked us up with a Sirius radio. So far we've got some Rider's in the Storm, Yellow Submarine, and Bennie and the Jets.

Headed down to Greensboro, NC to stay with good ole pal Justin Cohee. I hate being in this car, I want to scream and shout. Fast driving just sounds like a bad idea..Better things ahead...

... for ending the draught in Texas.

When Bruce got up he started the coffee pot and I had three Texas size cups of coffee. It didn't dawn on me until we left for the airport at around 11:00 AM that the coffee probably wasn't decaf - too late now.

I must say that one of the high points of the ride for me was riding our bikes through the halls at Boon Elementary with the students ...

Today is a big day. Today marks the seventh anniversary of Andy's death.
.
I am amazed at the number of opportunties I have had to share Andy's story in the past seven years. I hope that each time I tell his story, whether it is to one person or a group of people ...

... Wyndham, etc. We hit the road and took us about 7 hours to get back to Gboro. I took the wheel and let Pops rest. We both shared our time under the weather but managed to rally quickly on the trip. And what a trip it was- too many memories, sights and great times to recount yet- need to reflect some more and hopefully the pics/videos will do a little justice. A trip we'll definitely never forget. Thanks Pops.

Hello all,

I am starting up my travel blog again. So I am just letting you all know you can, if you want, to follow me on my travel to Italy. I will hopefully be updating this blog every two days. I hope all is well with everyone. Take care!

Ciao!

... Sheriff's car hidden behind a slight hill.   He started following us with his blue lights flashing.   We pulled over and Sylvain and I started to have flashbacks from what we will refer to here only as "The Gloucester incident."  He said he radared me at 83 mph and Sylvain at 81 mph. We handed him our papers and he asked how long Sylvain was going to be in the country.  I said, "only another week, until we get to Mexico - we have been planning this trip ...

This trip was really fun. I really liked actually working on the house and had a great group to work with. I met a lot of really cool people and had a great week. The amount of change in the house was amazing by the time we got done with it. The woman who lived there was a pack rat and had **** all over the place. There were coupons that expired 7 years before in her house haha. But we cleaned up most of the place and redid the entire living room and crawlspace.
