My travels...




I left home yesterday around 7:30 and drove to Omaha to meet Matt. He took me along for a home appraisal and I got to see what he does for a living. In my second life I want to come back as Matt.....the appraisal took around 30 minutes, he will go back and type it up (perhaps another 30 mintues) and voila, he made some money. Repeat, rinse and more money. I had a great time with him doing this and then we went to the airport for lunch and my early afternoon flight. He will keep my car for these two weeks and thus save me around $140 in parking fees. Thank you son!!

My flight was uneventful and actually arrived early for once. Sister Sharon picked me up at the airport as Megan and Andy were still at work. I met dog Sox for the very first time. She is MUCH bigger than I imagined and her hair is unbelievable....it is a beautiful red and lays in wave upon wave!! I am sure the mix of golden retriever and poodle showing up there. She was very excited to see two new people so Andy had to hold her for a bit. :-)

This morning I rode to work with Andy and Sharon picked me up there and we headed to Pinnacle Peak for a great hike. Up and down and quite vigorous. I have enclosed some pics from this morning's hike and also one of Sox. I am now going to start painting....the main thing I am supposed to be doing here. :-)
