Visiting Our National Parks

 

Marie and I visited many of our National Parks on our frequent trips out west. One of our favorites was Arches. Here is a R1-5R1-30R1-11sample of our pictures. R1-53

Learning something about Facebook.

I have used Microsoft Word 2000 and am very comfortable with it. When I leave it for something else I am lost.

So you can imagine how lost I am in Facebook. Well, I bought the book, “Facebook—The Missing Manual.

I looked up “Friends” because I wanted to learn something about it…how it worked, etc.

Here is what it said….while having a zillion “friends” is considered a status symbol on My Space, it’s not on Facebook. On Facebook, the goal of friends is to put together a manageable list of people you actually know—and actually care about keeping up with.

So don’t feel bad folks when I don’t Confirm you as a friend. It’s just that I don’t know you from Adam!

Marie and I absolutely love Mexico

 

We have visited Mexico so many times with the three RVs we owned. Our favorite area is the Yucatan with all the ancient temples and pyramids…like this “chichenitza ruinas”.R1-7R1-56

 

We visited all the ruins and major cities in the Yucatan. We also stopped at small open-air stands, where in one, I bought a stone carving.  IMG_1036R1-01598-0003

The log canoe races

 

Marie and I, along with a few other friends, sailed over to St. Michael’s on the eastern shore of Maryland to witness the log canoe races held once a year. It was thrilling to watch! We had never seen anything like it. 142f3274-1

The photographer who took this great  picture, John Pavoncello, gave me permission twice to use it, once in my book, which is in black and white, and again here in color. You can read all about this on page thirteen in my book.

You did a terrific job, John, and I want to thank you for letting me use it again.

My four-footed neighbors

 

I tell all the buyers of my book, incredible virgin island adventure, that Marie and I live out in the country where our closest neighbors are four-footed. Therefore, we seldom go to town…only as needed.

The Book 005

I give them our next scheduled “to town” trip, and that we will mail their book at that time. They all seem happy to get a quick email regarding their order…and I love happy buyers!
