Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

We didn’t know much about foreign lands, so they never beckoned us. Our dear friend and neighbor, Lorita, was beckoned and did travel to just about every country in the world. She took the most incredible slides with her Leica camera. and we got to see all of them at slide shows in her living room. So in a way we have seen foreign lands with great photos, interesting, informative, and personable narratives, all in the comforts of her home, eating popcorn.

Frank and Linda now keep us captivated with their iPhone pictures and tales of their interesting travels abroad when they return home. In return for cat sitting we see the world again.

Kara had been encouraging me to write an autobiography of our travels someday. She loved to write, and boy did she write, as I found out cleaning out her house. I have written down some stuff for myself, and decided to share part of it on the blog. The short and condensed version.

There were two places I wanted to see, for sure, when we started our travels. The Statue of Liberty and Mt. Rushmore. Well, I got to see them not only once, but four times. And each time was as special as the first.
I got an inexpensive Kodak digital camera for our first travels. And moved up in price as we traveled more.

A shout out to Martha and Ray, enjoy your trip to Virginia to see Karl and Sandy and their new home tomorrow. Enjoy Washington DC and all the history there. And enjoy that gift of first class plane tickets.WOW! Have fun and send pictures.

Lots more later,

stay tuned,
