A few posts back we introduced you to Agent Mulder, the brother of my dear Scully who passed away last year. Mulder came to us in May, and today we celebrate his 18th birthday! He's roughly the equivalent of a 90 year old human, but in spite of having hyperthyroidism and some kidney issues he's …
This Spring, while preparing for our trek to Michigan, we were treated to a sweet surprise. Supreme Commander Scully had a brother named Mulder who had stayed with Sue, Craig's first wife. But recently Mulder needed a new home and Sue asked if we could adopt him. Heck, yeah! It only took Roswell about a …
I'm the kind of person who loves to celebrate milestones and other special events. The latest example of this passion is occurring even now as Niki and I spend a few weeks relaxing in delightful Durango in southwest Colorado. You see, it was ten years ago when, having only recently met, I convinced Niki to …
One of our goals this summer was for me to try sailing. Craig is an experienced sailor, with many charters already under his belt. I was told sailing had a whole different "feel" than power boats, so I needed to test my tummy on one. Last summer I did try the old 14 foot Javelin …
We've now been in Durango for two weeks and, I've got to say, it's wonderful to just unwind and enjoy the astounding beauty of this place. I understand now why some folks just "set" in one place instead of traveling every few days. As we all know, travel is exhausting. This is so much more …
Before we move on to New Mexico, I have to give a shout out to our first stop: Colorado's Lathrop State Park. It's our first state park, founded in 1962, and it's a beautiful spot! The Spanish Peaks are gorgeous, there are hiking and biking trails, two lakes for boating and fishing, and 80+ camping …
While I was in Colorado, Craig diligently studied our new drone, a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. What an amazing machine - it's highly intelligent, intuitive and takes stunning 4K video. Between Craig's good teaching and the drone being so easy to use, I was able to create this video on my first day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIOGSakXUu0&feature=youtu.be With …
Some of you may be aware that we learned about the Great Loop from my parents, Mike & Fran Moran. When Craig started dreaming about buying a boat, they handed him the book "Honey, Let's Get A Boat", written by Ron & Eva Stob, founders of America's Great Loop Crusing Association. Craig is not usually …
When we first arrived in Grand Haven I often found myself humming this old Temptations tune... I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May. We'll, I guess you'd say what can make me feel this way... Joy Girl, talkin' 'bout Joy Girl. Yes, she is a …
