loving retirement
Sometimes, we get so lucky that it’s scary. Often that is paired with some unlucky moments. Sometimes, things just work out the way they are supposed to. Unlucky #1: We wanted to go to the Bright Nights’ Adult Night, but it was while we were in Canada. So, we bought regular tickets and just picked…

Gorgeous mid-February day in downtown Denver.
Day 13 – Page AZ to Azetc NM Worst driving day in a very long time. Just when we were so excited to leave AZ for the it-can’t-possibly-get-worse highways of NM, we crossed the state line and It. Got. Worse! Every single person running for any state office should have to drive on the worst…

Day 18 – Randle to Moses Lake WA, the hitchhiker Yet another beautiful drive! This time along the edge of the National Park and along a river with a very large lake. Per my request, we stopped at a wide spot in the road where the Pacific Crest Trail crosses the highway. We’ve both been…
