We are in Lubbock taking a rest for a few days on an extended rv trip. Today we ran across the Buddy Holly Center. I didn’t know Buddy Holly was from Lubbock. But I do now. I also didn’t know that he looked eerily like my son in law. But now that I have seen…

Beautiful Surprise: Travel Goals Japan

Meiji Morning: Travel Goals

This morning I wake up with the sun. It is a mystery to me how my internal clock always knows sunrise. Even on the other side of the globe, I’m up at the first hint of dawn. Last night we arrived in Tokyo after nineteen hours of travel. Unsurprisingly, the boys are still fast asleep.…

Birthday Special: Rural Road Trip

My mother in law (who is likely reading this) just had a birthday. This year she insisted on taking all of her children and spouses out for fried chicken. In her world (and mine) family is everything. On her ninetieth birthday, all she wanted was a trip to a beautiful nearby state park with her…
