Helen and I had always wanted to travel to the Canadian North, so when Mae & Earl suggested that we join them on a road trip they would be embarking on we couldn't resist. It was a short trip, we saw a lot in 3 weeks and it set the stage for several return trips and a life-long fascination with this part of our country.

HoneymOOners : Our FIRST Road Trip

FORTY-ONE Years Ago ... 

While watching some cooking competitions on TV last evening, we were reminded of how young and stupid we once were. Of course, the jury is out on whether we are still stupid or not, but we are definitely no longer young. One of the contestants on the show was asked what they would do if they won the $10,000 prize and their response was "take my new wife on a honeymoon". Crusty & I looked at each other and laughed. Wouldn't that have been nice to have $10,000 for a Honeymoon! We were immediately reminded of our so-called honeymoon and our very first road trip, taken almost 41 years ago.
