animal parts, that is. i got home tonight and cleaned up something that looked like a little red sploch of maybe jam on the floor. entrails. some kind of bloody entrails. where’s the rest of the animal? eaten, i hope. tomorrow afternoon we’re supposed to have 5-7...

friday, september 21st, our last day of sightseeing in vienna. there was still so much to see and not enough time to see it all. we decided to start the day at the schonbrunn palace. after poring over the various maps, i figured that we could easily get there on a...

which will be filled with much activity. today, though, i’m pretty sure i’m not getting far from the new red leather chair. i did take mollie for a walk, and she was sufficiently delighted. ok, like i promised, more photos of our austria bike trip. the last time i...

on thursday at 4:00 p.m., i left work and there were two giant trucks in the gas station parking lot, both loaded to the top with mounds of salt, both with lights on and MOTORS RUNNING. they were READY FOR THE SNOW. it didn’t start until six, and i keep wondering if...

i haven’t written in a whole week because i’ve been very busy scanning, going to missouri, and roofing. yes, that’s right, roofing. i can add that to my resume of very valuable skills. when we were in missouri over the weekend (it was beautiful, by the way, and we did...

i’m not sure how it got to be thursday already. there continues to be many things i want to do, but suddenly it’s thursday and i haven’t accomplished any of them. currently i’m obsessed with scanning. we bought a scanner and i’ve been scanning slides from a trip my...

so it’s only taken me almost two months to get to the photos in our bike trip that were taken at the town where we spend the night on sunday, sept. 16th. we had just coasted over a very long bridge over the river and into the tiny town of emmersdorf. our hotel, the...

I can’t stop, i’m on a roll, there are only a few more abbey photos and i feel i must post them in order to have closure on this day. this was a special grove of REALLY REALLY OLD TREES. i can’t remember how old, but i do remember that they were endangered so there...

i’m sitting here with the computer on my lap, hoping that the heat from the laptop will make my leg muscles feel less sore. so far it’s not working so great, but the kitty honey seems to be enjoying sitting close to me because i’m wearing my big fluffy pink robe. she...

i spent most of yesterday sprinting from one activity to another, rushing rushing rushing all the livelong day. after all the activity, last night we went to randy’s house to watch the country music awards. ok, i really had no desire to see the country music awards,...

it claims to be the oldest town in austria period, not just lower austria. our hotel was much better than the tiny tiny room we had the night before in linz. but we still didn’t want to just hang out in the room, so we walked around in the town a bit. it was pretty...

…not that i’ve just been SITTING HERE LIKE A SLUG ALL DAY OR ANYTHING! i got up, was NOT going to run, but then mollie was looking so pleadingly at me that i had no choice; we went for 28 short minutes and were both glad we went. and then i gave a long massage...

here on the website over a week ago. linz was the second day of our austria trip, and we left the town on the third day, which was friday, sept. 14th. the last photo i posted was from the bike trail heading from linz to enns. we biked through a couple of little towns...

it was eighty degrees here today, i believe, fyi. but by the end of the week, the rumor is that fall-like weather is actually going to begin. ok, i realize that it’s been almost a week since i’ve written about austria – when i left off, we’d arrived at our very...

i talked to chistine this week (that was quite a feat, since we haven’t talked in about…oh, a million years or so. no particular reason, we just haven’t), and she said PUT UP SOME MORE PICTURES OF AUSTRIA. i really just want to nap right now. could it possibly...

HELLO THERE! we’re alive and well and cycling like crazy. well, not at the moment – we got up and ate a lovely breakfast and we’re headed to the linz castle. linz is very crowded, especially after yesterday when we stayed in a little place called Schlogen. the...
