Another “leftover” thing. Each reminds me of a person or situation. Most bring a smile to me and a happy thought. Another story. Another connection. Every day we pass by the antique Singer sewing machine by the front door. She saw it in a store in Mazatlan years ago. Had to have it. We paid […]

It’s okay to follow patterns. Some think you get in a rut if you do the same things in the same pattern regularly. However, sometimes being a “regular “ at certain places is healthy. Lately I’ve become a creature of habit. That is, I’ve started to frequent some of the same establishments on the same
Just about the time you question a higher power, a situation come along or presetns itself toi help you change your point of view. We were returning from our trip to a local coffee shop across a busy street from us. I picked Sal up and was readying to cross the street with the light.
I’ve been on this trail many times. Mostly by bike. On foot with Sal is quite different. We were walking on the The Loop in Tucson and found this bench. It was a custom tile bench dedicated to the memory of someone named Sidney Alan Haynes, an obvious parrothead. It was decorated with a margarita

The second in our connect-the-dots of the Dallas Loop Trail series. We started at the Ridgewood end of the trail and headed into the city. Across the UCT (University Crossing Trail) to Glencoe Park near SMU and on to the Katy Trail. It really bridges the gap between the suburban and the urban–going from the

After a fun and change-filled year in 2023, I am again looking forward to an interesting and, hopefully, fun 2024. Unlike last year, I am inclined to do fewer cycling adventures.
