50 States in 50 years! Done!

I can now officially say that I have been in, to, or through all of the 50 United States.  It took my 50 years, but I did it!  The last State was Wisconsin.  I didn't think it would happen.  It almost didn't.  

Chuck and I went to Chicago for an early celebration of our 25th Wedding Anniversary which will be official in August.  We took the Union Pacific North from Chicago to Kenosha.  When we reached Waukegan, Illinois, the train trip was aborted due to water over the tracks.  I thought that was it.  I wouldn't do it in my lifetime.  However, never say die!  We rented a car and drove to Kenosha; visited the Visitor's Center; ate lunch and drove back to Waukegan to catch the train back to Chicago.  What a day!  What a trip!  At least, many trips over the 50 years!

I Lied!

Sorry for myself...I didn't meet my commitment to launch by May 16, 2010.  I have good intentions, but not enough time devoted to what I want and love to do.  I will figure it out...have patience.  I am talking to myself, of course.

Counting Down

I have been hesitating about getting my blog out there.  I have read a few personal accounts about bloggers and their hesitations/doubts/fears.  Most advice says "GO FOR IT"....and that's what I am going to do.  I am committing to "publishing" on May 16, 2010. 

Me and Mine are going to Chicago to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary.  It won't actually happen until August, but this works!

Also, I will be celebrating "50 States in 50 Years".  I have been in/to/through 49 states.  On this trip to Chicago we are going to take the train to....you guessed it "Wisconsin"!  The train goes from Chicago to Kenosha, Wisconsin and that will do it. 

So be prepared (or not),
