http://dustyroadsblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-adventures-in-rockies.html
Friday, April 06, 2012. New Adventures in the Rockies. Flew to Calgary Alberta and had a two week visit with my buddy Dave. He picked me up at the airport and we drove to his home in Canmore. Approximately, one and a quarter hour drive from the Calgary airport; Canmore is a beautiful town and can be described as the Gateway into Banff National Park. Didn’t know it at the time, but a week later a Helicopter from a competitor went down and the pilot was killed. 4 passengers survived. South of Revelstoke we...

Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Christmas travel on rough and dusty roads. One fact, that never changes throughout life are the various dusty roads, we must endure. Christmas can be the happiest or the saddest time of year. This year without my wife it was one of those rough roads. This year my girls had an extra special Christmas for me. Tania out did herself with a beautiful meal. It was a wonderful Christmas except for the one empty chair. I am so fortunate, to have the girls and their families in my life.

Dusty Roads: October 2013
http://dustyroadsblog.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 21, 2013. Through life we sometimes travel not only a dusty road but one full of bumps and pot holes. Losing a loved one is about as rough as it can get. I experienced the roughest ride of my life with the death of my wife, my lover, and my best friend. Carole’s life 1942 - 2010. If you met Carole and asked her how she was doing. She always said, I’m fine, she never complained. Life with Carole spanned from, Aug 1959. It are those years in between that are so important. Carole and I met w...

http://dustyroadsblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/gone-fishing.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. It has been quite a while since I last blogged. Friends are writing asking how was fishing and it is sometimes easier to just tell the story once. My Son-in-law Wayne asked me to go north with him, rent a cottage to do some fishing. We went to a favourite Camp Horizon located north of Sturgeon Falls in a tiny outback called Field. High north country approximately 6 hour drive; a get-away….for a couple of good friends. Shown up by a couple of city girls. 2 bedroom one bath.

Dusty Roads: January 2011
http://dustyroadsblog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2011. Dusty Roads something to think about. I received an email from a friend and it started me thinking. How much have I missed in life? By the way, author of this piece is unknown. In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes:. About 4 minutes later:. The m...

Dusty Roads: May 2010
http://dustyroadsblog.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. I worked for a market gardener at a very young age, crawling along rows of carrots weeding. The rows seemed so long I never thought I would reach the end. My pay was 20¢ per hour, I so badly wanted that new bike my parents couldn't afford. Since I was an experienced ‘Weeder’ helping Mom weed her flower bed was just an inconvenient chore; One that I hated, after-all! I had that new bike to ride. Here are a few that are in bloom now. My absolute favorite and I don't remember the name.

Monday, February 20, 2012. My Grand daughter Chelsey is working hard trying to break into the country music scene. She is doing pretty darn good for just starting out.
