I<\/strong> took three weeks in the States to drive from Texas (The Greatest Country on Earth) up to Virginia, visit friends and learn my retirement is not very healthy.\u00a0 So, as I told my four kids decades ago, I plan to spend three months a year with each or you.\u00a0 I hope they remembered.<\/p>\n

I took my little Barbie car, as MotherDear calls it and completely enjoyed the trip.\u00a0 Yes, there were a few times that I was boxed in by several huge trucks and was able to stomped the pedal and squirt out of the impending doom.\u00a0 Most fun since I set off fireworks in the high school during a home-coming game.<\/p>\n

… and there were a few other times that I had to deal with arrogant truckers which made it a bit difficult to move my bowels the next day.\u00a0 But seeing me now, you would never know I had to deal with any of that.<\/p>\n

On the way home, I stopped for the night in Tulsa with a brother and his gracious wife and enjoyed the peacefulness of their backyard.\u00a0 I hope I can do that in my<\/span> backyard someday.<\/p>\n

…. and last week, I got myself invited to another BBQ.\u00a0 Best I can do, is show you a mess of pictures.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>In November when I am pushed into retirement, I will throw a massive BBQ and use this guy and one other to do the cooking for me.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there was this card game that I have yet to figure out, so what I do is try to video the more physical aspect of it instead.<\/p>\n

One of the local police officers who works at the Consulate and is fluent in English, tried to explain it to me, but all I heard was, blah, blah, blah ….<\/p>\n

Okay.\u00a0 Until next time, kick butt, look for another adventure and don’t look back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
