Today marks the beginning of the Great Oregonian Migration. (More commonly referred to “our big move to Oregon”.) Last night was my last night at my old condo, and I have to admit, when I crawled into bed and realized it was for the last time there, I may possibly have teared up a little. … Read moreAnd so, it begins…
So, I guess the big news is that I’m moving in just over 1 week. Approximately 2,900 miles across the country. To Oregon. (OH MY GOD – HOW IS IT ONLY 8 DAYS AWAY??? I’M NOT READY!) Forgive that minor freak out. I’m ok now. I think. Anyway… As I said, in just 8 short … Read moreMooo-ving…
I haven’t been fishing for compliments in awhile, so I figured I would upload a video.
Please try to overlook the fact that I look like a stroke victim when I sing…in fact, it’s better for all concerned if you “watch” the video with your eyes closed. LOL
Happy Black Friday, folks. This is the day that traditionally marks the start of the holiday shopping season. Personally, you couldn’t pay me enough to get up at 4 in the morning to go watch the dregs of humanity duke it out at Walmart over a 97″ LCD HDTV that also cleans the kitchen and … Read more‘Tis the Season to be Thievin’…

Day 4 was another busy one. We started the day with a scenic drive through the Loire Valley by the Loire River on our way to visit Château Chenonceau. This beautiful castle located on the Cher River (who knew she had her own river?) was built in 1513 by Katherine Briçonnet, and has been called … Read moreDay 4: The Château and the Zealot
Day 3 had us waking up at 6am – which was rough, considering my body was still thinking it was on Eastern Daylight Time, and I wasn’t able to fall asleep until almost 5am. We packed up our stuff and piled on the buses, heading for our next destination – Tours. On our way to Tours, we stopped at the small village of Chartres, which is probably most well known for it’s 12th century Gothic cathedral with it’s two contrasting spires.
We were given a guided tour of the cathedral by historian and author Malcolm Miller, then the chorus sang an impromptu couple of songs in the cathedral, followed by free time to explore on our own. If you’re wondering what I may have learned on the guided tour, please re-read the first sentence of this blog, and do the math.
For our free time, we grabbed some lunch, then wandered around the village. Some of the girls wanted to shop, and some wanted to visit the glass museum, so the shoppers went with one chaperon, and the ones interested in a little culture came with me. I really just wanted to nap and enjoy the afternoon, so while they wandered the museum, my roommate and I waited outside on a bench and pondered the amazing detail of the cathedral in front of us.
After our visit, we boarded our buses to continue the journey to the second stop on our tour, oddly enough called Tours. We had dinner in the hotel, and then went to bed – tomorrow’s another concert day!
