Texas Flags, How Many? And, Benefits Of Travel.
Can we see it? Up early and ran outside at 7:00am to see if we could see SpaceX launch Starship. We watched the launch live on Kevin’s iPhone and we looked in the sky but we think two things might have prevented us from seeing it. One, it was very cloudy and two, they launch... Continue Reading →

Wonderful Week Visiting Family in Missouri
Broken kitchen slide! We drove to what seemed like the other end of the earth to Ace Hardware for some parts. I was looking down and told Kevin we would exit to the right at exit #1. I look up and he is getting in the middle lane. “Did you not hear me say right... Continue Reading →
