I had forgotten how much I used to love National Geographic. My Dad received a bunch of issues from a neighbor, back when I was between the ages of 10 - 16 and I used to love to read those.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241010459789159870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-51594971177932506712009-09-09T06:32:08.355-04:002009-09-09T06:32:08.355-04:00Dear Margaret ~~ I thought I had commented here

Glad you enjoyed the C-nile virus and the auditor joke and Mother Teresa's quote.<br />Take great care, my friend and have a good rest of the week.

It was the most interesting piece of history I ever saw. I saw places where some of the log beams were exposed and others where they were partly covered. I am guessing they were put there to make the road less sandy and easier on the horses and the coach and the passengers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-26767548481993460722009-09-06T22:49:22.466-04:002009-09-06T22:49:22.466-04:00Hi Margaret, long time no see. Sometimes it's...Hi Margaret, long time no see. Sometimes it's hard to get Mom to post for me. She's had some hard times lately, but she is doing O.K. Mom told me all about Route 66. She said when she was a kid her Mom and Dad went to Nashville Tenn. visiting relatives quite often and they always went Route 66. They would go off it for awhile to see the Grand Canyon and Carlsbad Caverns, but always ended up back on it again. Mom loves to travel. Mom and Dad had a dream vacation in 1995, stopped when they wanted to and went when they wanted to. One day they only went 25 miles and longest day was almost 500 miles. Coming back home they did take the old Route 66 in Arizona for old times sake. Mom loved the Burma shave signs. They were gone for six weeks and I was stuck with Daughter bean. I was a lot younger then so I didn't care if I went or stayed.<br /><br />Caspercaspersmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181735701966287433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-24119610353699395612009-09-06T21:59:06.165-04:002009-09-06T21:59:06.165-04:00Thanks Margaret, this is quite an interesting post...Thanks Margaret, this is quite an interesting post :)Have a great week ahead!A New Beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292758705734074064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-39207895018223049962009-09-06T21:00:53.512-04:002009-09-06T21:00:53.512-04:00Old Route 40 is a nice road to travel also.

I do all right on short trips, I just don't care for long car trips. Had a family get together today. So tomorrow when Abe and I are here alone, I will be doing our laundry and also damp mopping the kitchen floor. Now that sounds like fun, doesn't it. LOL Then again, I may just wait until Tuesday. LOL Being retired means you don't always have to do something the day you think you'll do it. I go back to the eye doctor Thursday, want to find out when I can have the other eye taken care of. It's amazing how much better my eye is now, how well I can see, how bright and colorful everything looks. Happy week end to the two of you.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-18941325129908053172009-09-06T10:25:34.981-04:002009-09-06T10:25:34.981-04:00I love Route 66!
