Day 27 - Grand Island to Elkhart We were awoken by the lovely sounds of a storm this morning. It was a good thing we didn't have plans for the morning. We slept in and relaxed while we waited to hear news of the car repairs. We did a bit of trailer maintenance and stayed out of the morning storm. By 11:30 we got the news that the car was ready to go and the super helpful Manager of the Auto Parts store gave Tony a ride to pick up the car. By 1PM we were once again on the road and headed towards Elkhart IL. On the way we stopped at a massive service center that spanned the whole Interstate. There were gas stations on both the eastbound and westbound sides of the freeway and ... read more

My Rant, This trip is a tribute to my love of motorcycles and my loving wife of 38 years who graciously let me take time to make this trip. It has been on my bucket list for some time and this year actually worked out. 3 weeks starting on July 2nd and coming back on July 25th. I will try and post an outline of each day with pictures and places. I took this trip with my good friend Bob as we have taken many trips together and we have a great time. Leave comments as you feel. Day 1 We left Indiana and traveled I 80 to I 39 and went north to get on US rt 20 to take all across the west. Both Bob and I hate interstates and like to travel 2 ... read more

Well the day has arrived, I slowly walked into the front doors of Central Nine Career Center as I have for the past 5 1/2 years, but, today is a little different. Through the hard work, fun, challenges, and unique personalities . . . . tears will flow, saying see you later to my C9 family is difficult.... read more

We have spent the last 3 days at Camp Atterbury just south of Indianapolis. Yesterday we headed north to Indianapolis. First stop was the stadium where the Indiana Colts play. It's called Lucas Oil Stadium and there is evidence all over the stadium who the main sponsor is... We took a tour of the stadium, yes even the locker room of the Colts. Those ice baths they all go in after the games look like they barely would fit me. We went to the top where the press box was and the view was awesome from that point. Joe got excited when he got to go through the tunnel onto the field. They were doing field prep for the upcoming pre-season games so we could only go on the outskirts of the field. It's a pretty ... read more

(door Tine) Ondertussen kunnen we wel stellen dat onze buren niet alleen buren zijn, maar ook vrienden. Dat is echt wel fijn! We hadden nog maar net kennisgemaakt en we waren al welkom op het verjaardagsfeestje van hun zoontje Caleb die 2 jaar werd. We hebben dan ineens de hele familie van Neil (de papa) ontmoet. Allemaal heel erg lieve mensen. Ook al genoten daar van een echt Amerikaans ontbijt met van die dikke pannenkoeken en maple sirup. Lekker! Zij hebben hier al geproefd van lasagne en bbq. Er zullen ongetwijfeld nog vele etentjes volgen. Regelmatig spreken we met de mama's en kids ook af voor een 'playdate'. Caleb heeft ontzettend veel speelgoed en dat is natuurlijk altijd een heuse ontdekkingstocht voor Sander. Echt 'samen' spelen doen ze nog niet, maar er is zeker wel interactie. ... read more
