Last fall I posted that I was planning a trip to Alaska in the summer of 2014 and like everything else in my life, all my plans for the trip have been written in Jello up till now. But with the time for our departure getting close Judy and I have to start firming up...

It’s hot!!! Those are the words that have been coming out of my mouth too much lately so it’s time to move! I know, two-thirds of the county has been enduring a miserably cold winter so you may not be too happy about hearing that I’m struggling with being too hot but...

I’m going to take a break from my survival series because I don’t want to wear you out. Many of us are starting to think about where we are going to spend this coming summer. In fact a friend is trying to decide that right now because she wants to start moving...

For a long time I have known that before I die I was going to jump out of an airplane. I can’t tell you why I have known that, I just have. The first time it became clearly focused in my mind was when the Senior President George H.W. Bush jumped on his 75th birthday....

Since we have been on this road trip, I’ve faced several moments of decision where I had to say “Yes, I will” or “No, I won’t” to new and different things that were far out of my comfort zone (some of them were downright scary, terrifying in fact!). For most of my...
