Ok so it's been a while, I'm sorry about that, but I'm here now.

Well I had planned to stay with my sister Janet in LA until Monday but instead I left on Sunday
to avoid that Monday morning traffic and let me tell you that was the right move.

Anyway I'm on my way back to Cleveland and to tell you the truth I'm ready. I drove to Flagstaff, AZ
On Sunday where I hit about 10 inches of snow, I know that sounds bad but just 10 miles east
there was almost no snow at all and the next morning Flagstaff got another 15 inches.

The next day (Monday) I drove to Albuquerque, N Mex. stopping now and then to shoot photos
along the Historic RT 66. Then today (Tuesday) I left N Mex. and headed for Tulsa OK again
stopping to shoot a few photos, everything was going great, clear blue skys and 60 to 75 degrees
all the way to Oklahoma City, Okla. I ran into thunder storms, and didn't know I had missed
missed a catagory 3 tornado by minutes. I guess the 2 inches of hail on the ground should
have tipped me off.

Well to make a long story short, I made it to Tulsa, and should be back in the big C by Friday.
So until then enjoy some of the photos from Historic RT 66.

I love you all, and yes Ethel that means you too.

Well I've been gone for one month now and what a great month it has been.
As my baby sister Ethel been telling me for the last two weeks now, "it's time
to go home.(I think she's trying to tell me something).
That's OK though, My niece Celeste and her husband Andrew said I can
come back and stay as long as want.

On Saturday the 7th I will be driving back to LA to stay with my sister Janet
who is much nicer than Ethel and she cooks. It's not that Ethel can't cook, It's
just that she won't.

On Monday the 9th I will be heading back to Cleveland and should be home in
4 or 5 days because weather permitting I will do photo along The Historic RT 66.

For the past week or so I have been visiting with family and it has been
great. So great I am posting some photos of my family.

For those of you who want to know which one is Ethle (the mean one) she is on the
far right in the large group photo. And yes that is all my family, a very small part
of the whole.(looks like the UN).
