Around the World, well sorta...

Its been well over a year since I last found the time to write on here. Oh I've done some writing, but nothing anyone could read, lol...

So many things have happened since last I wrote...
Being laid off work gave me time to do alot of things. Sometimes you wonder where the time flies to, because i still can't beleive how long its been since I last wrote a blog.




Well, after I got laid off work I moved to San Diego. I really loved it there, but unfortunately the unemployment there is horrible too. With my mom's health deteriating I decided to move to MI to be close to my mom, my children/grandchildren.

But I had one helluva fun time visiting friends along my journies traveling across country.

Visiting so many states - Las Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and well of course Michigan... I love driving and sightseeing, so this was a marvelous adventure of alot of miles, but also alot of friends that I visited along the way.












Well there is my journey across many miles...

Life is an Adventure, and I plan on enjoying every bit of the ride!

I also want to thank my many friends who I have known over the years and through many walks of life for being an inspiration ....

Thank you to:
