Gone Cruising: Part 2
I’m having a really hard time writing about my impressions of the cruise, so I am just going to do a stream-of-consciousness, question and answer type post relating to it. There will be at least one more post on the cruise. In it I will tell you about my excursions...
Gone Cruisin
I am writing this from the couch of our room aboard the Carnival Cruise ship “Liberty”. It’s 9:00 am and I just watched us dock at Mahogany Bay, Hondurus. It has been a fun, exciting and busy last couple of weeks, so let me tell you all about it! After writing...

Fun at the Beach
It’s been a beautiful warm summer in the Sierra NF. I think the weather here outside the little town of Shaver Lake is the best of all the places I have ever been. Every day of July and August has been clear and in the 80s. Sometimes it got a little too warm, but not...
