Happy 60th Birthday to My Baby Brother

Can it really be that my baby brother turns 60 today. I'm told that I was not happy when he was born and asked my parents to send him back. I'm very glad that they didn't and my wish is that we'll have many more years together. I am so proud of the man he has become. I love you, Walt.

Happy Birthday Dan

Happy Birthday to my nephew Dan. The picture on the left is him at age 9 and then on the right at 35 with his son Matthew. You've come a long way! Enjoy your day.

Happy Birthday Marilyn

Three's No Longer Company

Farewell dinner tonight on the deck in Linville. The traveling trio will disperse tomorrow morning with Walt and Debi heading back to Florida with layovers enroute. I will be leaving either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. It's so hard to leave the great weather here in the Mountains.

Back to the Mountains

The Traveling Trio have returned to North Carolina. On the way back, we stopped at Cumberland Falls in Kentucky.

Leaving the Windy City

Last night before dinner we walked over to Buckingham Fountain. Friday, after driving by Oprah's studios, we waved goodbye to the Windy City.

My Kind of Town

On Thursday we took a Hop-on Hop-off trolley/bus tour of Chicago. Since parking is at a premium in downtown Chicago, I'd say a tour is the only way to go. I really went crazy taking pictures. Of course we had to have a stuffed pizza. Debi scored us really nice rooms at a 4-star hotel across from Grant Park, the Blackstone.
