The Best Chips in All the Land
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI 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) on… Read more

Peace River Lives Up to Its Name
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe 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.

Beam Me Over, Scotty
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI can’t wait for the reality of teleportation. The drive home from Wisconsin was brutal.

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI 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 were… Read more

Road Trip!
Reading Time: 3 minutesEver 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 visit… Read more
