After driving from Iowa to Santa Fe, NM yesterday, we are on our final leg home this morning. It has been a wonderful three week, 5,544 miles (so far) journey. Decker has been a champ, performing his duties as a Therapy Dog magnificently. It was wonderful seeing so many friends in their home state. InContinue reading “Going Home”

On our way home we decided to make one more stop to see our snowbird friends Lu and Kim. They have a beautiful home across the street from the Lake. We enjoyed the guided tour they took us on. They have lived in the area since childhood. We were lucky enough to see the thriftContinue reading “Storm Lake, Iowa”

We arrived in downtown Chicago at the Residence Inn by Marriott and we were thrilled with our accommodations. Decker was treated like a rock star, receiving treats and hugs from the bell hops. A favorite was Rick, who was especially sweet to him. We ventured out to Millennium Park and wondered about this odd lookingContinue reading “Chicago and Baseball!”

Before heading to the stadium we decided to visit the downtown area of Williamsport. Lots of old brick houses and several shotgun houses. Everywhere there are signs and statues commemorating Little League. This community is very proud of this 75 year tradition. Attending the World Series has been a highlight for both of us, oneContinue reading “Our final day @ the World Series”

After a day of travel through Virginia, Maryland and into Pennsylvania, we are ready for some baseball. We did stop in Fredrick, MD to see our friend Kelly who is an Alderman here. She worked with Bob on the Fredrick Police Department. We were lucky enough to get a quick tour of her town andContinue reading “We Are At The World Series”

It has been a few days since the Southern Boil, what a party! Another boat ride on Lake Anna but, not before I got busy working on Bob’s land. He allowed me to mow his law on his zero-turn mower. Even though it was a hot humid day I did what I could to helpContinue reading “Back @ It!”

Kitty was up early on Thursday morning prepping for the Southern Boil Feast for the neighborhood. We had a group of 12 adults and one 10 year old, Weston who did well hanging out with the olds. Prior to dinner Bob took me fishing down at the dock and it was HOT! Not the fishingContinue reading “Southern Boil”

Lake Anna is one of the largest freshwater inland reservoirs in Virginia, covering an area of 13,000 acres. Beautiful homes surround the lake along with plenty of boat houses and boat garages. We spent the afternoon riding the boat around the lake, and doing a little fishing. Amazingly, Jeanne caught her first fish and BobContinue reading “Boating in Lake Anna”

We hit the road early morning and set out to drive the 516 miles from SC to VA. Decker has adjusted well to our travel days and is now able to give me the sign when he needs to go potty. Jeanne was in the mood for a burger so we stopped at Five GuysContinue reading “Bob and Kitty”

Our last day with Carol and Peter we drove to Hilton Head to have lunch with Carols brother and family. We had such a great time with the New Yorkers we may come to see you but, the goal is to get you all to Arizona for some fun! We finally saw some wild life,Continue reading “Hilton Head”
