Thinking of the spring and summer

Sherry, Josh, Stephen and Me. (I know 'em apart!)

Mark waiting to purchase something from Reece at her store, Christopher her cousin in check out line.

Outdoor pool at Elmer/Lennie's. Corey on my shoulders and Ben on Grandma's. We could not do that now hahaha!

Benjamin, George and Corey on a trip to the mountains of North CArolina.

Sonny and I in Hollywood at our favorite actors square and prints, Trigger and Roy Rogers.

Hey I finished 'Cracker's Mule' by Billy Moore last night. A great spoof about a boy during the 1950's. Funny, Rags is also set in the fifties. Cracker being his nick name since he was in Opp, Ala with his grandparents, but was from Florida. Florida cowboys are called Crackers. It is published by JuneBug books. You can find it on Amazon.

Well it is a new year, and we are facing the questions of which adventures do we want to pursue. We both want to go to the North East and hike some. Sherry is not sure if she wants to carry a back pack. I am not sure if I want to carry a tent. I want to sleep on the ground under the stars and eat only p-nut butter crackers. That way the pack is much lighter. That is up in the air. The one thing I know is we want to go to New England and try out the recommended Lobster houses (do you have one to suggest?). And go back to Nunans in Kennebunkport. We also must visit Judy and see her new apartment at her Son’s house. They built her a nice place over the garage after her Al died.
We also want a family thing again. Since taking the cruise, we would love to take the family on a four day cruise. But the logistics are pretty confusing. We want to bring the folks in Utah out here to the East coast IF WE DO IT. If we don’t do it, we would like to make another trip out to see the folks out there . Here in lies the rub. We cannot settle in our minds on a good bunking arrangement .
This is too much for an old folk to straighten out in his mind. I will have to get back with the family on that one. Who ever of the family members read this weigh in.
We also want to take another swing around the USA. I could arrange stops to promote the books. And stop to see the Utah part of our family at the same time. It is a thought.
In the back of my mind I really want to drive the ALCAN one more time. I loved the trip through Canada, especially the Yukon. So much to do and so little active time to do it in. Boy these decisions are rough. What would you do?

Some things to think ponder:

*** The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.

** Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

* If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.

** Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
