Every Halloween is a great fun for the kids as they pick out and create their latest and greatest costumes. At some point in the last few years though we have apparently started a tradition where the kids pick out our customs. This was not an adequately thought-out plan on our part. When it comes […]
On day three of our Lake Nasser cruise, we stepped off our riverboat onto a small motor boat that took us to shore. One of the crew of this little boat jumped onto shore and held the boat steady with a rope tied to the bow. Two other men grabbed up a 2-foot wide plank […]

Although I’ve never gone to a yard sale myself I know there’s a sport to finding that treasure amidst […]
The exhibit of King Tut’s tomb was fascinating. All the items the King would need in the afterlife had been buried with him. Clay vessels filled with fruit, vegetables, milk, honey and beer had been left for him to nourish himself on his journey to the “paradise”. I was impressed to see that beer was […]
