JIM'S LITTLE BLOG

We made all of those places, below are a few pictures from out Russia trip. My blogging was rather sparse, but click here for more.
.
Since then and a bit before, we've done eight cruises and have been to most all of the countries in Europe, all 50 of the U.S. States and most provinces in Canada, Central America, the Holy Land, Jordan, Egypt and other places that would bore you.
.
I've been in the Army (five years), worked in aerospace (spy Satellite tracking and NASA), taught in college (business professor), taught Sunday school more than half of my useful life.

I've programmed computers, built hot rod engines, raced cars, had a motorcycle, have driven over 150 miles and hour, had and helped raise five kids, am a great grandfather, and have made it to Medicare and Security.

We've retired to a golf course lakeside almost resort community now. There isn't much more for me to do or places to go and not much of anything else that I would put on my bucket list.

ary Islands while we are there..
One thing here, I do plan to keep busy as long as I can. We are scheduled to visit our family in London very soon and plan to take a Princess tour to the Canary Islands while we are there.

.
Day Three found us at the Kremlin for a nice tour. This is the Kremlin Wall.
.

.
After the Kremlin visit, we cast off. There were ceremonies that had to be performed because it was the crew's last voyage of the season. The dining room wait staff pulled toss the balloon duty.
.
.
Day Four included a tour of the city of Uglich.
.

.
Day Five was a stop at Yaroslavl. Of course we toured this Church of Elijah the Prophet. Afterwards we made an Internet stop for e-mail and a comment on Billy's blog [here].
.

.
Day Six meant we got to visit a monastery in Goritzy. There were all of two monks staying at this 23-acre haven. Goritzy is a quaint little town, larger than it seemed with a population of about 9,000.
.
Day Seven was like a little bit of heaven. Here at Kizhi, an island four miles long and protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, we were to visit this wooden Church of the Transfiguration you can see from our landing dock.

You can count the keys on this LARGE PRINT typewriter pictured below.
Please also note that it is a manual and not electric.

A minor concern: People tend to believe everything that I say. Not all my poems are true. Please don't believe every word I write here as gospel, some is poetic fiction. This one tells the truth for me, but Dad would never let his Inbox have even one unattended letter remaining at bedtime.
