Forty-Nine Years Ago
We’ve just celebrated our Forty-Ninth Anniversary in western Massachusetts. We opted to linger a while longer with our trailer parked in Greg’s driveway. It’s a salubrious time of year here. For dinner on our anniversary we asked Greg to join us for drinks and dinner...

1956 Chevy
What an unexpected delight! When we headed to Marlin's Family Restaurant in Mitchell, South Dakota for a Sunday brunch, we never expected to enter a time warp, but suddenly Steve was transported back to childhood with the two-toned green 1956 Chevy Bel Air parked next...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours!
