Who's the baseball player? And the actor?
Neat that you met John Wayne. I wish I could have.
My cousin visited Machu Pichu when in her 70s. They have trips that get close enough for old folks. So, you still have time.
Tell me you HAVE replaced the mattress.
Hopscotched across America in a private plane? Was the hopscotching refueling? Did I know this?
Ha! Same comfy mattress. And yes, you should remember--the summer I was about 15 when Daddy, Annie, Michael, and I took the Bonanza back to North Dakota and Minnesota. Yep, many stops for refueling (and to let the stomachs settle...)
