Friday morning saw the boys up early and out squirrel hunting, but not without Pops fixing a big breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. Nothing better than bacon cooking in the cabin to start the day. They all came back empty handed. Chad, Brock and I decided to go...

On Wednesday morning, I took my brother Dwayne to the Marion Airport so he could fly home to Dallas. I stopped by the hospital to see Myrtle, who had fallen and broken her hip, but she was so sedated that she didn’t know who I was or maybe her memory was...

Flapjacks! I love flapjacks. My brother was in charge of breakfast this morning and he made flapjacks. He did a great job. After breakfast, I decided to take Dwayne to Fat Man Squeeze and Buzzard Roost. We took the Ranger up to the farm and parked it at the...

Monday morning and Dwayne is up early having his devotions. While Dwayne is getting his devotions done, I started breakfast which consisted of beacon, eggs, toast, milk, and orange juice. This is my new toaster. It does a somewhat surprisingly good job. We slapped a...

Having spent the night in Boone, NC, we were anxious to get started Friday. This is one of the first scenes that greeted us as climbed to the top of the mountain for our final leg of our journey. The parkway was put on hold for about 20 years so that engineers,...

We finally got out of Virginian today and crossed over into another state. I had always wanted to visit this town in North Carolina because a famous person came from this town. Look at the following photos and see if you can guess who it is. If your answer was Andy...

We were able to break camp early this morning and head out to the Parkway. It was a beautiful morning with the fog rising in the valleys. At this point, we were still on Skyline Drive in Virginia. I figured since we were able to get there early, we might see some...

After a quick breakfast and packing up, we hit the interstate for the final leg of the trip to the beginning of the Parkway. We were not on the road long before we saw this up ahead. We were not sure if it was a fire or not. As we got closer we realized it was just...

Friday, we just hung around the room and went to the beach for a little while. For supper, we met Gary and Pat at a restaurant next door to their condo. It was a Thia restaurant but I told them that I wasn’t dressing up and I wasn’t going to wear a tie. ...

We got into our hotel room today about noon. After settling in, we took a walk along the beach. We walked a mile today. My calves hurt so much that it felt as if someone were walking behind me hitting me with a hammer. Made it safely back to our room in time to...

In Illinois, we have had one of the warmest winters that we can remember. But that wasn’t enough to want us to stay around much longer than we had to. Warmer weather was calling us and the sound of the ocean lapping up against the beach. We left early Monday...
