9.22.12 Mt Olivet Cemetery, Detroit. We found the Campbell Patriarch

Found Ferdinand and Theresia Nagel Brinkman Clara Brinkman Campbell (grandmother) James Campbell It was a bit of an adventure but with Aunt Rosies help we found quite a few family members. We also overstayed our welcome and got locked in, but before we panicked we drove around for a while until we spotted a couple of folks in the maintenance yard and they let us out. Always an adventure when traveling with Tony...

9.11.12 September getting stronger while biking

...I'm biking the Trail 14 miles I just keep getting more miles in every week and feel good.  There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done and then of course something goes wrong, like the gas tank on my Jimmy has a hole in it and as I'm pumping gas into the truck while the engine is running, because i was having trouble starting it, and all of a sudden the attendant (I made her day) came running out and asked that i stop pumping gas because it was pouring out of the tank onto the ground.  Boy was i embarrassed, i stopped pumping and got in my car and took off.  So not very much gas in the tank but i made it home without blowing up, thanks to the Dear Lord.  Life is an adventure...

9.2.12 Palos...got to bike with son Mike

PALOS, finally I get to bike on the trail son Mike has been  biking since he came to Chicago. ...well with a little help anyway.   For me the hills were hard but Mike really helped. On Sunday when we tried to leave the Indy Fairgrounds we found the gates locked ... and we were towing, so you see that little turn-around up there by the gate, well Miss Mary with her  driving skill turned right this side of the post and then just missed the two columns on either side of the gate and turned around in that space with the Safari attached, da, da! Very Interesting that Indiana has this field of wind turbines.
