Virginia

We have been 'camped' in our daughter Heathers' driveway for just over a week. Been great being around the grandkids! Helping with projects, Heather has 2 in school and a 2 year old, can you imagine trying to set up and paint a room under those conditions? Well she has accomplished a lot, but still much to be done. I get to be Super Daddy!

Went offroad cycling with an old friend on Saturday, wow, I have lost my edge. I am sure I can get some of it back, but my seat coming off the rails was my clue to keep it a short day.

This week, have some painting to do, a little electrical work. Our oldest has a field trip tomorrow! Quite excited, she is heading to Jamestown, VA, the site of the first permanent colony in North America. She told us all about how we came to this nation, filtered through the new teachings. Interesting. Not that we didn't get a slanted view when my generation was in school, but the current stuff, well made me feel old I guess.

Guess that is it for now, good night...

A lot of time has passed

Lost the password for awhile, and google doesn't make it easy to get it back. Finally allowed proper amount of time to get back on. Sure, not an excuse for the lack of posting since August, but I am sticking with it.



Here we are, mid-trip, heading back to Yellowstone.



Fall... headed back to Florida, went back as a seasonal Chrysler Dodge, Jeep dealer. Had fun and can go back in Fall. Fall plans are not completely gelled yet though.



Winter, what a cold winter. For Florida! Never really got warm until we left. So here we sit, in Portsmouth, VA, in the driceway of our daughter and son-in-law home. Helping out getting things done, Mark deployed soon after moving in, so Heather has been on her own for about 6 months. Previous owner left lots of junk, got it cleaned out. Fixing things, storing stuff. (see George Carlin for stuff definition)



Here is Mia, our youngest g-child and Koda our trust travelling pup. They all want Papa lap-time.

So, Our summer is shaping up in planning. I was asked back as an Assistant District Manager for the Southern District in the park. What this means is that I will help manage the four southern stores in the park. Looking forward to the challenge! Jolene will be working at our Old Faithful store.

This summer our big thing is opening the new Visitor Center at Old Faithful. When we left back in October they had it all closed in for the weather, this would allow some work to be done over the winter. Still, the open date is 3rd week of August.

Planning on getting in lots of fishing this year, should have a much earlier start. Have new camera gear now as well, so, more photos.

Guess that is all for me for now. I will try.
