Go Ahead, Touch Me
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve never liked to fly. But I do like the convenience, as I said in my post last week, of waking up in my own bed in Florida and having dinner in my all time favorite Mexican restaurant in Camdenton, Missouri. I’m careful about using the word hate, so I won’t… Read more

Branson and Oozing Talent
Reading Time: 5 minutes Randy and I first visited Branson, Missouri about 25 years ago after we moved to Missouri. It’s a place we enjoy a lot, full of like-minded and age-related peeps. There’s an Ozarkland store there so I can say I actually worked in Branson for a tiny bit. Over the years, we’ve… Read more

The Best Chips in All the Land
Reading Time: < 1 minute I flew back up to Missouri to help Ozarkland’s parent company with a special project this week. I thought the best part of the trip would be that I got to eat the best chips and salsa in all the land at our favorite Mexican restaurant (El Caporal, Camdenton, MO)… Read more

Peace River Lives Up to Its Name
Reading Time: < 1 minute We took an airboat ride on the Peace River yesterday. It’s interesting to see Florida about 15 miles inland, away from the coastal communities and hub bub of the beaches and tourist traps that are stereotypical of the Florida in northerners minds. It’s unexpectedly beautiful and more peaceful than I’d… Read more

Beam Me Over, Scotty
Reading Time: < 1 minute I can’t wait for the reality of teleportation. The drive home from Wisconsin was brutal. Twenty-four hours in the car, outside temperatures sometimes upwards of 100 degrees, and fuel prices at break-the-bank levels. There’s no place like home. But in the future, to get back and forth between home and… Read more

Where the Heart Is
Reading Time: 4 minutes Randy and I lost nearly everything we owned in a tornado in 2003. We learned back then that relationships are what matter most during our earthly life. Though we love living in Florida and I’d be happy to never take another vacation, we have relationships that matter a lot to us… Read more

The Joy of Family Events
Reading Time: < 1 minute We’ve been back “home” to Wisconsin where we both grew up and where most of our family stills lives for about 10 days now. It’s been a joy to be able to share several family events with them since we’ve been here. We attended the Memorial Day Parade, graduation from… Read more

Buc-ee’s Review
Reading Time: < 1 minute I promised to let you know how our first trip to a Buc-ee’s turned out. I loved it! It reminded me of Ozarkland (my last career before retirement) on steriods, although Ozarkland doesn’t sell fuel. Buc-ee’s is H.U.G.E. It’s apparently known for brisket so we bought sandwiches. I thought they… Read more

Road Trip!
Reading Time: 3 minutes Ever since Randy and I met, one of our favorite things to do together is to take road trips. When we were dating, Randy was stationed at KI Sawyer Air Force Base near Marquette, Michigan and I lived and worked in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Every other weekend one of us drove to… Read more
