I havent written anything for sometime. I have been busy with my bucket travel list. Last year I traveled down to Texas and through the South to Florida. After Florida I went into Georiga and visited my neice. From there I traveled through Alanta and into the Blue Ridge Mountains. After that I made a bee line for home.
In Texas; I have been to Dallas, Fort Worth, El Paso, and Corpus Christy. Many small towns like Waco, Kerrville, and Centerpoint. My favorite place to visit is Port Aransas. A little Town on a little Island just off the coast of the large state of Texas. A beautiful place that is a small paradise with some of the friendiest people. And some of the best fishing. This year I did much the same as last year. I rode my Harley Trike and hit the road. It took me on another adventure. Deep sea fishing that was great. I kind of felt like Hemmingway on a great adventure. As usual all things had to come to an end. To be memories of ones past.
And now I am back in Fort Wayne. Next year God willing my next adventure is to travel through as many states as I can, staying off the interstates and main roads and visit the America that you do not hear too much of.
But my favorite past time is my family. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, wonderful children, and wonderful, beautiful Grandchildren. Riches do not mean anything. But a loving family is more precious than Gold. What more can you ask for.
And lookin back, that is the way these reunions are, we are like a scattered family. We meet again spend a little time together.
One thing I know, I really like these reunions. It is good to reconnect. To talk about old times, and talk about our families and what dreams we want to accomplish. Yeah, surprising, at our age we have dreams or as thay say a,"bucket list."
From my youth to now, every memory, the time spent, up to now it seems like it went by in a blink of an eye. But you know what, I enjoyed every brief moment. And I plan to enjoy what ever time God gives me. And I hope all the same for my classmates. Enjoy.
