Buckley Old Engine Show
After talking to a friend’s dad about the Old Engine Show (he had been there earlier that day), I got a hankering to go check it out. I’ve heard before that it’s a lot of fun. Al and I had a blast! And I forgot my camera (of course). Al’s been really into railroads after […] Read more…
Car “broken into”
I say broke into but really, the car was unlocked. I haven’t had a problem since I lived in this house.

We just got a professional baseball […] Read more…
The Dune Climb
Al and I decided to go to Empire this weekend and do the Dune Climb at the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore. Last time we went (several years ago and 40 lbs heavier), I could only get up to the first crest. I not only made it to the VERY top with a minimum of huffing […] Read more…
