It was six months ago today that Brandee took the last great journey of her life. While I held her hand and watched her take one last breath, she passed on to Heaven at 1:44 AM on 15 March, 2021. She was the best part of my life and losing her brought me to my …
Boy, have I really been slacking on blogging. Not sure why I have not been as motivated to post. I guess I get a little disgruntled as I don’t seem to have a large following and not sure how to market my blog. When we left Colorado, we made our way through part of Kansas …
After our epic hike at Zion, we headed south to Vegas, baby! Since we lived here for seven years, we have made a great deal of friends, as well as having a niece and her family that live here; therefore, we just had to swing by to say hello. We were able to stay a …
January 24, we left the Atlanta area and drove north to Knoxville, TN to spend some time with very dear friends. We were excited because this was the first time we had come to them as opposed to their traveling to visit us. Knoxville is a beautiful little city that gives you the perks of …

The other day, Al and I spent the day with one of his brothers, Ray. Our first stop was a flea market. Ray is an art collector and spends many a hour at the flea markets and thrift shops in search of those gems most of us would overlook. He found this creepy, electric cat …
Whenever we come home to Detroit, we rarely do much of anything. In some aspects, this drives me crazy because I enjoy seeing, doing and exploring things. And there really are lots of interesting things to do in the area, whether it is a trip out to Stoney Creek to enjoy nature, venturing through downtown …
