Travels with Simon and Schuster

Good morning
Day 3.................. somehow Day 2 got away from us, time flies. We spent a good part of the day beading and laughing.The bus driver spent most of the morning working. Lizzie and I made use of WalMart State Park and bought more beading supplies. Shotgun, AKA Rosary Man, the interpreter
smoked his pipe and helped Lizzie and me with our knots.
Scuster was a little under the weather, but now he is ready to play. Simon spent a lot of time snuggling.
So., here we are at Day 3, On the Road again.Willie did his thing and we are on the way to the Badlands. I think I said that before.
We spent the night in Sioux Falls............... they were incredible.
A lot of pollution though, both in the water and the air.
The bus driver and Shotgun are having a great time yacking away.
The current discussion is the fact that we are at the dump station. Wow !
Lizzie and I are planning a Garden Party for the end of the summer..................we think it will be in honor of Kai. So put your thinking caps on and think about what you will wear; hats , gloves, the whole thing.
That's all for now from Simon and Schuster.
Until we meet again
Love, Simon and Schuster

and from Karla.........The bandanas are tied,Willy has sung, and we are on our way! Too bad you are not here......oh well, we are thinking of you. Jon just picked up the new trailer and we (meaning Randi and I) think it would be the perfect float for next year's 4th, We will be the queens, and you get to pick a theme! As long as it is cowboy. It has a hard wood floor so I think you can work with it!
We are probably going to have to have a plant of the day, since I am missing my garden, See if you can guess today's entry, as soon as I can figure out how to post it. There may be a prize at the end of the trip
I'm not sure what contest I will come up with to deal with missing Kit and Justin.
Simon and Schuster have been great travel companions It's impossible not to pick favorites......I'll tell you when we get home. Randi has assured me that they understand english, so we have to be careful.
The highlight of today is still to come, but all has been wonderful so far.
We are learning so much ......don't call Jon if you may end up with JEFF.....there are issues.
"Head west young man" just echoed from the front of our re-invented VW bus. So with the wind in our hair, smoke in our eyes, Idealism in our hearts, we go forth to meet our destiny!!!!!

Travels with Simon and Schuster

Here I go again................. my blog was eaten by cyber space.
Not fun!
Onward we go......actually we are going the southern route to the Badlands.
Willy sang our song and we are on the road again.
A great time is being had by all, the boys like the idea of friends traveling with us.
( they brought really great food and lots.)
We brought alcohol. SURPISE!
Karla is wearing her red bandana and she is getting one big YEE-HA for it.
The computer knows nothing of cowboys.............. it thinks I mean banana.
Not by a long shot!
Simon and Schuster are sound asleep enjoying the ride
So we sign off until we meet again............. Good old Roy
Lots of love, Simon and Schuster

Good morning there everyone. We are On the Road Again with Simon amd Schuster.
Willy has not sung his song yet........this is a pre-trip blog. Friends are traveling with us this time and we are going to Montana to express our cowboyness
and do a little Yee Ha-ing.
Kai turns 30 on July 17. That is what started the whole idea of this trip............... the idea of being with her on her birthday.
Our friends Karla and Jeff got involved. The plan originally was to go to the Stampede in Calgary.
Ideas began to flow and now here we are on our way to Montana already to express ourselves.
Some of have boots, hats or a mixture of cowboy items........it helps in the expression of our
emerging cowboy selves.
The boys are all ready for their next adventure, they don't want to miss anything or the possibility of being left behind, so we are joined at the hip.
Well, I better finish my packing so I don't get left behind.
See you On the Road Again
Simon and Schuster

on the road

Here I am again......... getting ready to go back on the road again........tomorrow
Check in with schusterandsimon.com and follow us back home. We are in Eugene visiting and working with Kai. She is the ED for IWRC and has a virtual office. Kai and Jon have really been working hard on financials. Gabe has been helping with Web issues.........everyone has been soooooooo generous with their time.
Gabe and Laney have come to visit this weekend. It is always great to be together!!!!!!!
Now everyone is saying fairwell until next time.
So adios for now, till we meet again

Day 6

Good morning.

I am a little slow today. It feels like Monday!

The good thing is that it is warming up. It is over 40. WOW, it is a heat wave!

Kai is in the front seat working ( she gets car sick ) so I am being kind and not giving her grief about it. I am starting to enjoy the back, I sit at the table and write or wattch for Rapors. It is my own personal space.............. and I need it.

We are leaving Albaquerque and driving on to Tempe to Gabe's.. We are arriving a few days eary

so he will be surprised. Happy I hope.

Even though I am looking forward to seeing them ( Gabe and Laney ) I hate to leave New

Mexico. I feel so healthy here. It feels like my soul has been set free.

I think it is another sleepy day for the boys. They are snuggled up together, feet hanging off the edge of the couch......... have I said before what a hard life they have? They really are a comedy team! Boys of my heart.

On a serious note, I tried doing Tai Cai when I got up this morning. Laugh! Boy was I out of sync. I was happy no one was around..............just the boys and didn't dare laugh.

A long way to go.

travels with simon and Schuster.

day 5

Hi there fellow travelers!

It is a beautiful sunny day out here in New Mexico.

We are on our way to Santa Fe (RENT). We are about 90 miles away.............. to a

Starbucks. Are we addited or what????

There is another person traveling with us. We picked her up at the airport in Colorado Springs

yesterday.

Bet you can't guess where the first place we went was!!!! Kai and I raced in to the local Tj.

With a sigh of relief we shopped around for bargins. ( it is only fun if you get a deal )

It is so great to have Kai with us. She is working alot! She and the bus driver are having great times talking business. WOW .............. I also lost my seat at the front of the bus.

My perspective from back here is interesting. Have I said how much I LOVE New Mexico!

The boys are sleeping. This travel takes a lot out of you if you are a POODLE.

After we are done playing in Santa Fe, we will head to Albuquerque to do a little IWRC business...

I have been negletful again with my Raptor watch........... so I think I will get back to my business

of looking. ( from the back of the bus )
