“What a long (not so) strange trip its’ been……..”*

Well we weren’t truckin’ off to Buffalo, but we just did spend the last week or so on the road.

Much has happened while on the road and I even made a quick post and misspelled a word writing in a hurry which definitely changed the meaning of the post: liar vs lair; it is corrected now. Anyway was there for a very short time and we only spent a few dollars and it only went indirectly to the man who wants to be a king maker. Youngest daughter use to watch the Cake Boss religiously so we had to buy some treats there.

And Happy Belated Fourth to everyone. I hope yours was safe and fun. Apparently there were some gruesome tales out there for some people.

And belated congratulations to the USA Women’s soccer team. I got to see that game and was in disbelief about how fast that game started. I wasn’t even settling in when the first goal was scored. Great job Ladies.

The trip was great, name a desert and we were probably in it at some point this past ten days. Much ado about family and friends on this trip. We had a great time. Our youngest was at an event for a week and we picked her up as the trip got started and she had done well and came home with accolades for parents to brag heavily about.
We went through Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, El Paso, and South Padre. Actually went through much more, but these were the stops where we saw people and did things. Spent Fourth of July on South Padre with family so it was a great way to end this maddening drive around the Southwest.

Tons of happenings: Greece, Donald Trump, NBA free agency, and much more, but unfortunately no time to talk this evening, more family events around the household today.

We did want to stop by a Trump property and take a salutary photo, but luckily we didn’t since I try to present a positive approach to problems.
So for Mr. Trump and all the individuals like him I have this thought of the day.
We weren’t created so others can hold us back from our potential.

*And thanks to the Grateful Dead for all their wonderful music over the years.
