Well it has been a rough few months. Nora Lea passed away unexpectedly just after Christmas. For some reason I think it has been hard on her, too, where ever she is. I am sure she is in a great place, but she left so many friends and people close to her behind. I miss her always.

I have decided to continue blogging, not only for family and friends, but also because Nora always wanted us to get into writing and this is an excellent playground for honing the skills. I figure no one is interested in my inability to get out of bed in the morning and how sad things are, so I am going to concentrate on travel and excellent and not so excellent adventures that I wish I could share with Nora Lea.

The travel in 2009, so far, has taken me from Phoenix to Seattle, back to the island, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Nebraska, Laramie, Wyoming, Burley, Idaho, back to the island and then Phoenix. And Yes, I do have a few adventures to share later...
