September 2022 1 of 2

 My September started off with a trip to Chambersburg, PA to visit 
Rondi, Roy & Cappi.  It was so good to connect with old friends and make 
some new memories.


This is Cappi and he is wonderful.  
The best jailhouse dog ever.



I had a couple days to spend checking out the sights.  I spent my time in Gettysburg. I was given a few sights to check out like Devils Ridge at sunset and Little Round Top.  I was told to use the flash to capture ghosts. I went to the Gettysburg Museum of History and the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center. 







I love having friends that have traveled.
I was sent to Garryowen Irish Pub in Gettysburg.  I knew what to eat 
but had no idea on Irish whiskey.  
Scully, I may trade my bourbon for Irish whiskey.



  We took a short trip to a wonderful winery.
The grounds were beautiful - the food was great - the music was very good
and I walked away with a couple bottles of wine.




This was so much fun!
I volunteered to work a food booth, with the chefs, at the 
Frankenmuth Auto Fest in Michigan.
We had some pretty steady moments but the team worked GREAT together. 








These are random photos from the Mackinaw part of the trip.











Love M119, the tunnel of trees.  It doesn't matter what time of year.  
This drive is beautiful




We made it back to Mackinaw in time to watch the sun set under the bridge.



It was a short drive from our Harvest Hosts stop at the Alcona Brew Haus to Finn Road Campground so there were lots of stops.




I drove 40 minutes north for Iva's Chicken Dinners






I am not sure what the rest of the month will bring.  I am always working on the next adventure so stay tuned!!

April started at the Arkansas Whiskey Fest. Ken had never been to anything like this. It was a well organized event with a lot of different beverages  to taste and good food to eat. John and Tammy have a beautiful back yard and the best fire pit. The big bike trip for Maywas the 5 State Run. We did the run last year and it rained and you can see by all the layers everyone has on it was rainy and cold this year.  Rain or shine the ride is always beautiful and the stops are fun also.  We already have a room booked for next year. A few pictures from home.   June is when the fun began.  I dropped Ember off at home in Texas on June 1st and I headed home.  I had a great plan to get home on Saturday, pack the rig on Sunday and head to Michigan on Monday.  That planned got changed when I got a wonderful case of food poisoning. I was able to slowly pack the rig on Monday and leave on Tuesday.   While in Michigan I was able to visit with my Uncle Bob and Linda and so many other friends.  I think

October 2023 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

Image
  Our first day at the Balloon Fiesta set the stage for the fun that was to come. As you can see the rig in the picture is not mine.  I took mine in to have some things fixed and while it was in the shop the fuel pump went out.  Other than the cost of renting a rig I was glad this didn't happen during the trip. We were up at 4:00am to arrive at the field for our hot air balloon ride.  The ride was amazing and the landing was easy but the best part was exchanging rings and vows with this amazing guy. We were on the field that morning to see the drone show, dawn patrol, fly over, singing of the national anthem and to see the pilots do a candle stick burn.  The red arrow shows where the rig was parked. We had free days and took a few trips to the Sandia  Mountains.  The first trip was a smooth twisting road, the second was a narrow, rocky dirt road.  That is where we found the cave.  The cage you see is the entrance to the cave.  The third way we seen the mountain was a tram ride to t

August 2024 - Ballons, Bike & the Great Outdoors

Image
  I am patting myself on the back for posting the August blog before the end of September!! August was a HOT month here in Oklahoma City but that didn't stop us from having some fun. I took these photos on a different walk in the same park. We tried a new restaurant at the Grand Casino.  It is called Soto Sushi .  We weren't super hungry and decided to share a couple of plates.  The presentations were beautiful and that brown sauce was some type of beef reduction that was off the chart amazing.  We are already talking about a return trip. These are my random photos that I was not sure where to put.  The first one is from a trip to Eischen's Bar for their famous fried chicken.  I loved the way the sun set colored the building.  The Chevy Nova was in tow at the casino during the Bug Run.  I didn't get any pictures of that event because my allergies were in full touture mode and taking a lot of pictures was not high on my list.  Even though I felt awful it was a great run.
