I totally agree, Patty. =
When in North Carolina, I meant to visit Biltmore, as some of my fore-
bearers were involuntarily involved in it's construction. I missed =
seeing it though; I ended up spending some spare time with old non-
dog friends in the Durham area. Hope we get back there again =
someday. =
When in Perry, I took a day off to visit Andersonville. How sobering =
and moving was that!! It is now also a POW/MIA museum and there is =
hardly a dry eye in the place as you walk amongst the exhibits. I =
keep two pieces of the red Georgian clay from that site on my dresser =
to remind me of the sacrifices men have made to ensure our existence =
and freedom in this country.
Twice in St. Louis and I have still not visited the Arch. =
In Daytona, Evan took some of us to a biker bar and kept me out of a =
confrontation with a rather chauvinistic bartender. =
I always have good intentions when planning my National trips, but, =
there is never enough time!! I love traveling to different areas of =
our country. =
This year, in Fort Collins, I have no plans yet. I have been up to =
Pike's Peak once, and once is enough in an acrophobic's lifetime!! =
Not only was I green, so were the hot dogs served up there! YIKES!! =
In Louisville many moons ago, we visited a Thoroughbred retirement =
farm, and bought a $5 lifetime membership at the Pink Pussycat Club, =
an all night bar/disco. 1948 Triple Crown winner, Citation, was =
still alive then, but, I missed going to see him at Calumet!!
In a nutshell, I regret what I have missed, but, I treasure what I =
went out of my way to see. It has all taught me that second chance's =
aren't always available; do what you need to do, don't put up =
barriers. Life IS too short.
Paula, 77 days and counting
P.S. Michener has drawn me to Colorado, Mexico, Texas, Chesapeake, =
and 2 of my favorite places in the world, so far, the Caribbean and =
Alaska!! Wasn't he awesome??
