It’s Pi Season. It began on March 14th, Pi Day, and could go to Pi Approximation Day, July 22th, except that we will may be on the road by then. We celebrate Pi Season with our neighbors up Kalmia Ridge. On 3.14 they came to our house for Salad and Peach Pie. Last...
It's Spring Cleaning Time! Our current emphasis is on dejunking closets. We're bent on getting rid of superfluous stuff. One thing we are discarding is the packaging for all our CD’s and DVD’s. We’re keeping the original discs although we’ve ripped the music and...
We had a delightful and unexpected surprise today. When we went to the gym, the receptionist asked Steve if he had his Silver Sneakers card with him. They had just learned this morning that they could begin accepting Silver Sneakers effective immediately. And Steve...
We and Gary, our friend of 40 plus years, traveled down to the banks of the Bradenton River today to visit with Art & Lynn, our friends of thirty plus years. While Lynn was busy with a previous commitment, we and Art went to lunch at Linger Lodge, an unusual...

When we got our Trailblazer back in '09, we were not specifically looking for a four-wheel drive vehicle, but the vehicle that met our other needs and was in our price range came with the feature. We quickly learned that upon occasion folks who live in the western NC...
It started out reasonably "warm" today. We ventured into Sylva for blood work then to a delightful breakfast at Mainstreet Bakery. It tasted so good after the fast. As we headed to the recreation park we saw sunny skies...

Traveling south on US 81, we made our way into Kansas and shortly thereafter noticed signs for the Orphan Train Depot and Museum in Concordia, Kansas. Unfortunately for us the museum buildings were closed but the signs and exhibits on the outside gave us some insight...
