Alice is cute Alice is darling. She reminds of the playmobil camper the twins had when they were todllers. Did that lady offer you money to clog? If yes, I think you should have given it some more thought. You dance pretty well. How much harder could clogging be?
On first quick reading, I do comprehed all the material about becoming a bloger, but did get a kick out of seeing pics of your Alier, you adventurer you. Love the way you venture forth on nexperiences.
quack is brilliant I think Quack is the cutest thing ever. I just came by this site when I was looking on' London Tube'. I was wondering if Quack will visit Holland sometime. I hope Quack will have more adventures coming in the future!
greetings from the Netherlands.
A piano with history Thanks for the delightful story of letting go of your piano. Playing the piano was a must for all four of our kiddoes, and they were reasonably good sports. But, alas, only one of them continues to enjoy playing as an adult. The other three gravitated to the guitar, and Jim continues to enjoy the piano as a great source of relaxation when he gets home from work.
Our daughter appreciataed the experience and still enjos it some, but not to the same extent as as the piano-playing son.
Our first piano for their practice was an old upright we bought from a friend, total cost one hundred dollars! It served its purpose well and was replaced by a first class one later, and now graces the living room of our daughter here in Atlanta.
We enjoyed your story.
Peace.

Almost on TV... That was generous of you Mom! I won't really miss the piano either. As soon as I read this I thought of America's Funniest Home Videos - "piano moving" is one of their stock subjects; every couple episodes they have a video of some disastrous attempt to move a piano where it ends up falling down the stairs and splitting in half. I'm glad your move went better than that!
Good to see how much you enjoyed Alaska! Only just checked out your blog after you wrote on mine just before you headed off to Alaska. Like us, it must all seem almost like a dream now although I must admit that re-reading one's own blog helps to keep the memories flooding back! Do contact me if you travel to our neck of the woods and visit Sydney. M xx
Brrr! So now that it is almost Dec. I discover your blog entry! I'm glad to be in a heated home reading it! As always, beautiful photos and wonderful info. L, G
Dark lines in ice of glacier Probably volcanic ash ... over a long period of time glaciers forms and then move ... the ash falls on it and then is covered up by more snow that becomes ice
Awesome Alaska I took the Alaskan cruise on Holland America last year. I loved it! I'd actually go a second time. Enjoy! I believe cruises are the best way to see the world. I was on Holland America twice this year - Carribean and Mediterranean!

Mary will be jealous How exciting. We want to do it by boat sometime ... probably on the Alaska Ferry. As you recall, we have done the round-trip from Florida to Alaska by RV, twice. Probably will do it again. and, I am considering offering my course "Driving from Florida to Alaska and Return, how to do it and Survive" again ... it was very popular with the Learning in Retirement group at the University of South Florida.
London pictures We LOVED every one of your London pictures. We were there, but it was in the late 60's, so it was good to visit there via your wonderful pictures.
Love Quack Oh, I just love Quack. I'm so glad he accompanied you on your trip. I may have to take a small stuffed animal on my trip (river cruise through Belgium and the Netherlands) even though I'm not doing it for a child; the photo ops are priceless.

I retired. I’m almost 80 now and have some old age problems. I do small amounts of traveling still.
Last summer I went to Hawaii with my sons and grandchildren. I still love to go camping although I do not have an RV anymore. I moved from Atlanta to Washington DC to be near family. I have been here seven years now. I will try to keep this blog up-to-date.
During the Covid pandemic I sat around too much and got fat and sassy so I’m now on a fasting diet. Maybe you’d want to know how that goes too.
I will stay in touch.
