Smoky Mountains: Day 2 Adventure Awaits
So as predicted, we slept in. But only a little. Sascha can’t seem to make it past 6:30 to go out. It’s not because she needs to go to the bathroom. She is wasting daylight if she is not out there guarding her yard from the much dreaded squirrel population. As soon as it is […]

Day 9 We’re not in Kansas anymore?
We made it home. We were in no hurry again this morning. It’s vacation, right? Our last day of lazy mornings and no need to be anywhere soon. I started out in the passenger seat. I wanted one good day to brown my right arm. Since I do a lot of the driving, my left […]

Day 7 Hasta Luego, San Antonio!
Well, that day has come. It’s time to head back on up north again. This means my vacation is almost over. How can that be? Didn’t I just leave? As is my usual habit now, I got up early, grabbed my Nook, and headed down to the pool to read until others began to stir […]

Day 6 Butts Up!
Addendum: I don’t know how, but I forgot to thank Rose for sacrificing her waterproof camera to get the shots in this blogs. Thanks for showing all the fun. It was worth the camera getting waterlogged! Sunday was another slow day. Rich and I went out to get breakfast burritos from Bill Miller’s BBQ. Rose […]

Day 2: Throw a Roll at Me!
Darn, I got up too early this morning. I meant to sleep in, but it just didn’t happen. I got up about 7:00. This was all without the benefit of a wet nose and a warm paw. Where was Sascha? Oh yeah, at home waking up Rick. We got moving and loaded up the car. […]

Day 1: New Adventure Begins
On our way The next adventure starts now. We decided to pack the car and leave from work. That would save us 40 minutes and we are already at the highway. I had a 2:00 to 3:00 meeting and then we figured we would just slip out the door. Luckily, my PM was nice enough […]

Sally moves into her new home
Things are finally getting somewhat completed in the new garage. The guys have been working on some finishing touches. There is still work to be done, but it won’t prevent Sally from moving in. Rich put in filler so that the cracks in the concrete are filled. This means that dropped bolts, screws, and other bits […]

KC: Headed Home
Monday morning was our driving day again. We had to reverse the trip from Blue Springs, MO to Holiday Hills IL. This was 8 hours and 10 minutes of driving time. Then you have to factor in stops for breaks and breakfast as well as lunch, maybe dinner. It would be 9 to 10 hours […]
