Four Loko

Okay, I admit it. I like the stuff. Not so much as a beer, of which it’s really bad, or an energy drink, of which it is equally as bad. I like the stuff because it comes in flavors such as watermelon, grape and orange. I like to drink one every-so-often in the evening – not every evening – when I’m watching a little TV. It’s a change from a really good beer. It’s a change from box wine. It’s a change from cognac.

IndTrav

Independent Traveler. That’s a very interesting phrase. I’m uploading their logo because I want to use this as a Tool Site. It’s a good place to get info on an air pass for selected continents as well as other cool, interesting travel info.

Ashton With Bird

This is my grandson Ashton with his dad. They’re studying birds at the zoo. Ashton liked the bird. We were all in an aviary to visit our little feathered friends.

At the Zoo

What did I do one Saturday morning while I was home? I went to the zoo with two of my children and their families. Lucky me. Actually, I had a really good time. I need to bond with my grandchildren more. Here, we’re studying small animals called meerkats. I thought they were so cute. They were almost like humans, in a way.

Party At Andy Alligator’s

It’s Andy Alligator’s and it’s a birthday party for a grandchild. Luck yus. I’m glad I’m not paying for it.

Cafe Du Mond Espresso

The metallic object on the right is my espresso maker. I don’t drink espresso every morning when I’m home, but I drink it often. My favorite place to obtain a cup isn’t at home, it’s at a little French bakery down the street. Their ham and cheese croissants are also worthy of mention. The best espresso I’ve ever had was at a little coffee bar at the airport in Miami, FL. The coffee cup besides the espresso maker is one I got at the Cafe Du Mond, which is located in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I would have to say that the Cafe Du Mond is one of my three favorite places in the whole wide world to have breakfast. That’s why I use their coffee cup.

Gabriella

This is Gabriella. She was my newest relative at the time this picture was taken. She is my third cousin. She is really cute, and from all appearances, really smart. I met her for the first time when I was visiting my cousin at her house.

Traveler’s Pack

This is my favorite place to buy travel gear. It’s located in Oklahoma City in the more up-scale section of town that is far, far away from my house..

Taco Mayo

This is me at Taco Mayo. I started going to Taco May when they put the first one in down the street from my house in 1978. Today they have somewhere around 100 stores and are located in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. The store where I’m standing is, officially, Store #1, although it’s not located in the original spot where it was when the chain started. By the way, I’ve thought about working there, just for the chance to get a super burrito whenever I wanted one.

Me – Medieval Fair

That’s me. I’m at the Medieval Fair. I’ve been going to these things, off and on, for about thirty years. It’s gotten quite large. They’ve had to relocate three times due to expansion issues.
