Hello Friends of the Road,Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. A friend of mine gave me a coffee mug with that written on it. Good words indeed.  I have lots of info for you today. I will start with the most important, in case you don’t make it to the end…

Hello Friends of the Road, I wish all of summer is like the weather I had this weekend. Not too hot, and so enjoyable to be out in. I’ll happily give up the minutes of daylight that are lost at this time of year to have this kind of weather. I hope all is well…

Hello Friends of the Road, How is everyone doing? It is still only Autumn, right? Or did I forget to change my calendar again? Winter came early here, but other than the cold, I don’t mind the early snow. I don’t usually care much for “stick season” and the snow has made it a bit…

Hello Friends of the Road, Are any of you planning on dressing up as a revolutionary war soldier for Halloween? I know it is is traditional to dress up as something scary, but why not something educational? As the leaves fall off the trees, things are changing fast and soon we’ll be in “stick season”….
