Kevin was on the phone the next morning to find someone to come look at the bedroom slide on HOWE (footnote 1) and see what needed to be done to fix it. (That story was posted last Friday.) He found one that could come that day. The guy did and Kevin felt he is knowledgable... Continue Reading →
Murphy’s Law Visits On Our Two Longest-Miles Travel Days
The drive north of Dallas and Fort Worth was very smooth with no traffic. I can’t imagine how long it would take to drive through here during the day and/or rush hour. The sun came up behind us and it was glorious to see it rise! So long since we have seen that. Continuing on,... Continue Reading →
