Another Move
July 18, 2011 
patwatson Excited as we are at the prospect of a full time teaching position for Greg it means packing. I hate packing and then unpacking. Although there isn’t nearly as much stuff as there was in Mount Pleasant, there is still a lot. I just need to settle down, spend a day doing nothing but packing [...]
Comments Off Cruise vs Land Trip
It is always interesting to check out what type of trip you want to take, whether you want to take a cruise where all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself without having to think about dinner or entertainment, or to plan out where you want to go on land, where you are [...]

When you know that you love the breaking waves in the ocean and the warm sun, fine sand, peaceful existence that is available in some of those favorite vacation spots (such as the Cayman’s, Anguilla or Rocky Point) and then you drive into work and look at the snow that is in the shape of [...]
The Trip Home from Arizona
I took pictures of some interesting things on the way home from AZ that I should post. We were looking forward to visiting the Shakespeare Ghost Town on the way from AZ into NM, sounded like something that would be fun, even in the wind and cold. Well, the town that the Ghost Town is [...]
