Since Ross and Malory had their emergency trailer issue, we have a free day to wake up late, and it was nice. We spent the day in Coeur d’ Alene. The weather was beautiful with just a slight breeze. We walked the boardwalk around The Coeur d’Alene Golf and Spa Resort that is down by the lake. The first thing we did was stop at a little kiosk bar and get a drink. I had a Huckelberry margarita that was so yummy and refreshing. We stood there and talked to the bartender for about twenty minutes, trading travel stories. 



We decided to wander through the resort after we finished walking around the boardwalk. I went into a gift shop and found a moose stuffy for Emery. There is a book that goes with him, but she already has that. Hopefully she doesn’t have the moose. 

I decided to let Barry take some photos of me. I need to change a few of my photos on social media sites. I usually don't like my photos, but I thought he did a great job with his phone. Now I just need to remember to change my photos....LOL!

                                                                                    


From the Resort, we walked downtown and ended up at Crafted Tap House + Kitchen. They have forty-two beers on tap, so Barry was happy. I had a Son of the Llama, and it was so tasty. A photo of the drink ingredients is below. We just have to figure out the measurements. We ordered munchies and enjoyed the Coeur d’Alene vibe. There were four firemen sitting close to us, and we bought them a round of drinks. Great guys. 






On the way back, we stopped at a sporting goods store Ken recommended, Black Sheep Sporting Goods, located in the Silver Lake Mall. BSSG has a separate knife store in the mall, Knives + Optics. How awesome is that? A store just with knives! We looked at quite a few, and Barry decided on a Buck, and I chose a Kershaw OTF (out the front). You can’t buy this Kershaw in California; not sure about Oregon. We are very happy campers.

Genealogy Fireworks in Stonewall: Whispers, Surprises, and a Happy Dance Most genealogy days feel routine, like flipping through old pages. But every now and then, you hit the jackpot — fireworks go off, your heart races, and the ancestors practically shout, “Pay attention!” That’s exactly what happened to me in Stonewall. From the moment we pulled out of the Arbuckle RV Resort — just a 30-minute drive away — I had no clue the day would end with me doing a full-on genealogy happy dance. Everything felt wet and balmy due to last night’s crazy thunderstorm. However, late spring still lingers, and the green grasses along the highway glistened from the rain the night before.  Once we arrived in Stonewall, we parked on Main Street. Barry went into a store to see if they had a few supplies we needed. The row of old buildings we parked in front of included the store. I just wanted to walk the street and take it all in. Knowing my Griffin grandparents, Bertha and R. D., Uncle Richard, Uncl...

28 April 2025, Disney World Epcot  We were able to enter Epcot early since we stayed at a Disney Hotel. We immediately weaved through the crowd to Guardians of the Galaxy. What a great ride. It’s a dark ride, and the cars spin, but is it ever fun!  Best ride in Epcot. The other rides we rode are: Mission Space Soar’in Over the World Gran Fiesta Tour – The Three Caballeros Darn! We didn’t ride the Monorail We hooked up with J&K at The Three Caballeros and ate lunch at the restaurant right by the ride, San Angel Inn Restaurante. From here, we continued to walk around the World Pond, visiting most of the nations represented: Canada for Barry, the United Kingdom, Japan, American Adventure, Germany, China, and Mexico. I bought ornaments, a Japanese fan, and a Chinese parasol. In American Adventure, Ken wanted to see the movie, so we entered the American Adventure building. As you go up the escalator to the movie theatre, the ceiling is draped with 44 flags that have flown over ...

03 June 2025, North Little Rock KOA, Arkansas, to Riverfront RV Resort, Fort Smith, Arkansas Uncle Richard called me this morning. We have been playing phone tag for the last few days. I needed the phone number of his cousin Mary Ann. Mary Ann is Herman's daughter, my grandmother's brother. I'd like to call her when we're in Fort Smith.  Damn this cold. Last night I coughed all night long, so I slept in a recliner in the living room. I rubbed some dōTERRA oils on my chest, covered my head with my blanket, and breathed in the fumes. Seemed to help. I also took Mucinex to help with the congestion. Around 4:00 AM, I was able to sleep better. NOT FUN!!! I'm wondering if it's COVID since Barry lost his sense of taste. We forgot to bring COVID-19 tests with us.  We arrived at Riverfront RV Park around 2:00 PM. What a great park. They have only been open for two years. It's right on the Arkansas River. Nice long, wide sites. Excellent play area for kids, featuring...
