2022 Vid's Still Not Gone

Well it's a new year with some old unwanted company. Remember when Covid-19 first came on the scene? We thought it would be over in a few months if the whole world focused on it. But the experts warned us it would be years before it was gone. Ha! Read more

    Too Much Snow

    February 3, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ❄️ -7 °C

    Day two of snowing and blowing. Why do people insist on living up here in the winter? It's nuts!

    And yes that's snow on the inside of the living room window.

    I swear it was more fun than it looks

    April 24, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    We're over in Garrett IN. at the Auburn Garrett House of Pancakes and just about anything else you could possibly want. They have a section devoted to french toast on the menu even. All sorts of food not just breakfast. An old dinner from way back...

    Anyway it was nice. We should come back.    Read more

    Sunny day road trips

    July 9, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Yesterday and today have been event-full and just about perfect. We attended a festival and parade in White Pigeon. While there we got to go into the Land Office for a history lesson. We also wandered into an interesting time capsule that took us back to the 70's as we found the ice cream social in the not air conditioned basement. We headed for a balloon glow in Angola, but got sidetracked by a steam train. The balloon show was ending as we got there but we did see a lot of balloons lit up. Today was a trip to Auburn for a car show. We got there at the very end, but we were treated to a car show parade. We topped this off with ice cream in downtown Auburn.Read more

    View from a hammock

    July 10, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Travel is fun but exhausting. Today we went to the Elkhart Conservation Club presentation on opossums. Then we took a hike on their grounds and saw the river. This was followed by lunch at Between the Buns. Exhausting. Now this is our view...Read more

    World's Biggest Ice Cream Cone

    July 31, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    So advertising works. Rick picked up a brochure earlier this year at the Michigan Welcome Center for this place. It said "World's Biggest Ice Cream Cone". Now that just begged for a road trip! And here we are! We made it to Station 66. Looks like it was a former Clark Station.

    We started off with a Battle Creek Dog and a old fashioned regular dog with fries. Followed up with the reason we came .. Ice Cream!    Read more

    Long necks & Parakeets

    August 12, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Impromptu trip to Ohio to see critters. Diane was a big hit with the birds. We went back an extra time to visit them. They loved her shoestrings too. We fed giraffes from the car. Watched pigs race. Had some ice cream. Bought a really silly looking cross between a ostrich and a turkey stuffed bird. Checked out all the critters basically. We had a great time. We are both suckers for cheesy tourist traps. They are just old fashioned fun. On the way there we stopped for lunch at the vagabond restaurant. What a blast from the past. It was a bit off the main drag but it was worth the trip back in time. It was like every restaurant was back in the sixties. It really reminded me of being a kid and going out to eat almost every day.Read more

    5 For Fighting

    August 13, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

    What's happening in Fort Wayne this weekend? Well, Diane and I are here at the Foellinger Theater ready to see a favorite. 6 rows back, center of the stage. Nice seats!

    After listening to the explanation of song Two Lights and then listening to him sing the song the combination of the meaning and the beauty of the music was really a lot to take in.

    I got a kick out of watching him sing with his daughter who was also working the merch tent to get enough money to buy a car. They were really cute together on stage. He had done a good job being a dad. You could see it in both of their eyes.

    It was a concert I'll likely remember for a while. The sound wasn't the best but I learned the man who makes the music is a good man with a good heart. That makes the music even sweeter    Read more

    Bowen has perks!

    All staff day at the Tin Caps. Awesome seats! Busy day...started with a rainy, stormy geocache event. We followed this with lunch with Gail and George. To kill time we saw the Minions movie. Now to the game!

    Tincaps lost. They were tied, then walked four straight batters! Boo!    Read more

    A Defiant Derby

    August 26, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Came over to Defiance Co Fair in Hicksville for a demo derby. Must'a been 200 people in line when we got here early! Went to see how long the line was and there was nearly no one in the infield ticket line so I went for it. $5 well spent. Saw our first roll over in a derby tonight. So far pretty good. But wait.... Another first, the guy behind us was just hauled off on handcuffs after a fight preceded by a good verbal brawl with the row above him. Brought the derby to a halt. Who'd a thought we'd have entertainment behind us and in front of us? These things do bring out an interesting slice of society.Read more

    Out of order trip

    December 30, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

    Rick has been fighting sinus gunk and cough and brain fog since Christmas. Two days prior to Christmas 🎄 there was a 🥶 blizzard and below zero temps. So even though Christmas has passed, we made the annual trek to Franke Park for the light show.Read more
