Yesterday we went for a Sunday drive on Saturday – along Route 66. A number of towns along Route 66, which is just 30 minutes from here, hosted what they called the Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor or something like that. And as the day was sunny and still and all the animals were settled and sleeping on the …

In between Time
I am sitting in my hotel room in Los Angeles, California. I have a long list of paper work that is not really paper work it is all done on the computer but you know what I mean. First order of the day for us is to write the questionnaire for potential woofers. Young women …
Another Peek at Route 66 – Just for Kicks
I am trying to distract myself from staring at Charlotte all day, she has SEVEN days to go before we can even think about expecting any piglets after all. Pigs are usually farrow quite close to their dates and I hope she goes all the way so we get nice fat healthy babies. So another …

Bridge on Route 66
Yesterday we were on Route 66 and we found an amazing working drawbridge. I am now a confirmed drawbridge stalker. I am gobsmacked by the engineering and sheer weight of the components and how they all link into each other. Plus as the traffic roars across, the bridge jiggles something terrible which lends a certain …
