65 and counting

Life at or about 65 is just fine. Things slow down. Travel at work has picked up, but not enough to offset the travel schedule I maintained until last May. Here, in no particular order, are a few pictures that give a flavor of things.

First, an empty street in the Magic Kingdom--evidence of how things can be in the off-season at our favorite central Florida destination.





Next, Oaks & Spanish moss in Savannah.






My cousin, John Wyatt, on the right (my left). He lives near Kansas City, where I traveled two weeks ago for the National VOAD conference. What's that, you ask? The "Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters". Again you ask, what's that? My new calling! I represent the Church on the board of this state-wide coalition of charities that . . . well . . . gets active when disasters strike. We're currently helping coordinate recovery from the April tornados.






Finally, this little beauty was on display at the antique tractor show at the fairgrounds a few weeks ago. This particular Allis-Chalmers WD45 is approximately the same model we owned when we were farming back in the '50s.
