Paris


This arch is right across from the Louve. There is a very large park (I'm standing in to take the picture) across from the Louve. In Paris the architecture is so awesome. All sorts of statues and very old buildings. It is one of the most interesting cities in the world. However, it is not one of my favorites. I did find the people friendly and helpful. So much history, and of course that feeds my addiction. Yes, I'm a history freek, and some of my friends get tired of traveling with me. I always want to hit all the museums and art galleries. Not much up for the discos (which they are everywhere) and the clubs. They are the same as in the States. Meat Markets!! And the kids are all the same, talking on cell phones, and music is loud and everyone is half dressed. Imagine that!

Hard Rock Cafe, Paris



This is the Hard Rock cafe in Paris. I've been to everyone in the places I've visited. Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, Manchester (England) and others. They are really awesome!! I've sent my granddaughters t-shirts from all of them. They are very popular with the local folks. Also, the food is always good!! (I think)

My Best Friends



Here are my best friends in the world!! This is the last time we got together when I came home for a visit. (Taylor wasn't pg as you can see)

This is Linda, myself, Sally and Aida. Aida and Taylor are the only ones that have visited me yet. Come on Linda and Sally. I'm going to Italy now for a couple of years, so come on over!!!

German Castle ruins


The same Castle. The ruins around here are awesome. I stop and visit every castle I pass, if I have the time. Road trips here are full of beauty and adventure. There is always a Hofbrauhouse to stay at, whatever villiage you happen to pass. The food is always good, and the sheets are always clean. You may not have tv or phone, but there is always food and a shower. Love that I'm able to do what I'm doing. Germany is a land of pleasure and beauty. The people are so friendly, and they love Americans. Most can speak English also. Which says a lot about we Americans. Meaning, we should be teaching languages in our schools. We really are behind.

Germany Castle


Castle near my house

Castle, Germany Near my House



Standing on a wall of one of the many Castles I visit in Germany. What a view this one has.

The Materhorn



This was the view I had from my room in Zurmott. It was absolutely beautiful. I have more pictures. I will post them on a slide show.

Zurmott Switzerland



This is in Zurmot Switzerland. It was so beautiful. They have a grave yard there for all those who have died climbing the Materhorn. It was not as glizty as I thought it would be. It is very small, and has lots of hotels. Very quaint.

Even on the Porch


Uh huh

See how Adam changes his wardrobe? He is always dasing!! Love they way he supports Taylor. Thanks Adam, and remember what we talked about when you asked me for her hand in marriage? Ha................I'll be you don't.

Love you to the moon and back and beyond

Which Disney Princess Are You?

You are Ariel. You are beautiful but impaired. At times you are na�ve. Still, your innocence and good heart make you sought after and loved.

Hey

Today, a long day. I emailed all I could think of with my blog address. Hope you looked, I sure would like some feedback. What I can do to make it better, how it looks now, etc. Anything you would like to comment on will be appreciated. We are so busy at work, but my work is really rewarding. Today a Soldier I had worked with is being transfered to another post, and he came and told me goodbye. Really made my day, and that is why I do what I do. Love those Soldiers!! Support them when you can.

Take care..........................to the moon and back and beyond

Surprise

I will have an announcement soon, I hope. So, keep checking back to see what it is! I cannot wait.

Oh, on other surprise. Taylor is going to have another baby. Yes! That is right. She is due in November. So, I hope to be home then. I'll be home end of May (around the 25th) if all goes as planned. But things change so rapidly in life, that I always stay flexible. So, more news later.
