The rain continued to come day on Friday morning. The plan was to pack up and drive all day until we reached home. Vacation was just about over for us. This was our last day on the road. After showers and packing up, we went down to load up the car one last time. Pulling […]

Cajun Vacation: Walking in Memphis
Today, we are on the move again. We woke up to dry skies, but the clouds were very low. It’s probably good we are leaving NOLA today. We start our first leg back to the real world and home. After packing up, Rich went down to the lobby for coffee so that he would be […]

Cajun Vacation: Day 5 Happy Birthday, Rick!
Happy Birthday, Rick. Today is my son’s 22nd birthday. On this day 22 years ago, he woke me up from a sound sleep to take care of some important business. He arrived about 4 weeks early and has been dragging his heels about things ever since. We weren’t in any hurry today either. I didn’t […]

Cajun Vacation: Day 1 and Day 2 Drive, Drive, Drive
Vacation came early this year. Rick had his spring break start on March 4. I decided that March might be a great time to go and check out Louisiana. As long as I was paying, Rick was up for joining us. Sure, why not. Besides, his 22nd birthday would be during that week. It’ll be […]

Room Formerly Known As Rick’s Room: Floored by the effort
Painting is done. I have visions of a nice floor that isn’t carpet. I have to consider Ms. Sascha when I pick a floor though. Rich likes to say she has diamond tipped nails.

Stink, stank, stunk
Saturday night is quiet. Just me and my hubby hanging out enjoying a little quiet time together. About 10 o’clock, Sascha needs to go out for the evening. We talk about going to bed soon. Sascha wants to go and stretch her legs around the yard. I’m sure she will be some squatting and depositing […]

Big Sky Vacation Day 2: Bears don’t need cell coverage
Second leg of our journey began early today. We got moving around 6:00 so we could be on the road by 7:30. Sounds early, but we had some big plans for the day. The road was still pretty open with little traffic. In South Dakota, the speed limit is 75. This suits me fine. I […]

Big Sky Vacation Day 1: Through the land of cheese haus
Luckily, the alarm went off this morning. Otherwise, I would have slept through the time to leave. Sascha finished the job by demanding to go out and look for squirrels. I got moving and took my shower. From there, it was time to finish packing. Rich got moving, too. Wow, even Rick got up. Just […]
