Our Alaska Cruise was so enjoyable...

This is for all of you who might want to see some selected pictures of our Alaska Cruise

It's not an Airstream but it will do...

For twenty years now Preacher's Wife and I have been talking about taking an Alaskian Cruise. The time has finally arrived. The prices were so right that we thought there may never be a better time. Also, I am aware people like us often go through life saying, "one of these days we ought to go or do...." "or when the kids leave home we should...". Well, a couple of months ago we did it. We booked our cruise. Today we leave for Vancouver and will enjoy a nice night out on the town and leave tomorrow on a northbound cruise to Anchorage. The itinerary shows we stop in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka and end up in Anchorage. Having been fortunate to travel the world, we will now get to see some of the sites we have dreamed and talked so much about. Of all the people who have spoken to us about their experience on an Alaskian Cruise we have never met someone who was disappointed. So wish us well. Hopefully, I will post pictures depending of course on the internet connection. I can't imagine they will not have internet after reading about everything else that is on the ship.

A few days on Lake Texoma...

I just returned from a few days on Lake Texoma. I was on my way to CFC Paris and decided to spend a few days there with my sister and brother-in-law. The wife and I have yet to get away together this summer with Bo and Jake for a little on the road time. We think maybe July the 4th weekend we might head out. Here are some pictures of my weekend excursion.

It's a hard life on the road....

"It's a hard life on the road..." I say this tongue and cheek because life on the road for those who enjoy this kind of life do not find it hard but rather refreshing. There are those who enjoy dry camping or boondocking as it is called. This is where you park anywhere without or with limited amenities. I think independent parking is the preferred term. This of course is when you are prepared to dry camp but make use of amenities when they are available. If you know me then you know I am one who prefers amenities. I like to read as well as sit alone in the quiet, but I also like TV (the news, 24, and Lie to Me). So I recently sprung for a VuQube. This is a nice little closed in satellite dish that weighs 15 lbs, that you sit outside and by remote control tune it to operate you Direct or Dish TV receiver. I know! I know! but I enjoy amenities remember.

Longview postponed...

Our trip to Longview had to be postponed due to the passing of a dear friend in Albuquerque. I will leave today (Thursday) and fly there for the funeral. I will return to SA on Monday and look forward to hooking up to Alumination and heading to Lake Texhoma for a few day with my sister and brother-in-law before going on to Paris, Texas for the weekend.

Meet Bo and Jake

It's probably pretty obvious that we enjoy traveling, and that we love the outdoors. Anne loves to ride off with her Sisters on the Fly from time to time, and we enjoy getting away together as much as possible. As previously stated we do this by incorporating pleasure with our work. We also have a couple of King Charles Cavaliers who travel with us. They can be a handful at times but Bo and Jake seem to like the outdoors as well. One of themes I carry and promote is that life is short, therefore, we should slow down and enjoy our friends as well as the beautiful sights all around us. If you follow this blog you will hear me encouraging you quite often to slow down and enjoy your journey.
