Our visit to Los Alamos  National Laboratory was extremely interesting.  All of the information we received was not only fascinating, but somewhat complicated. Phil helped me get it all together. His knowledge of history is amazing. Los Alamos became a reality after Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt stating that Germany was in…

I found some interesting facts about the Carson National Forest. If you recall, it is where Phil and I drove the 84 miles around what is called the Enchanted Circle just North of Taos, New Mexico. The Forest has spectacular mountain scenery. It is deemed a Community Forest with over 50 small unincorporated communities within…

We spent one night in Dodge City, Kansas. Not much happening there, but we did feed apples to two mules. Did you know a mule is the offspring resulting from breeding a male donkey with a female horse? That makes for a very strong animal. These mules were just “parked” on the street waiting to…

Actually, we never did go to Kansas City – just sang the song!! Phil and I did spend time in Independence, Missouri. We toured Harry S. and Bess (Wallace) Truman’s home. It remains today as it was when they lived there after his Presidency. It felt like a 1950’s home to me with the same…

Phil and I have spent years in Mexico and know many of the Mexican people personally. They have become good friends even though for most of the year, many miles separate us. The Mexican people we know are hard-working kind people I recently read an article written by an American woman who lives in Puerto…

Soon Spring will be coming to Minnesota. It is beginning to be very warm here in Puerto Vallarta.  And when it gets very warm here in PV, I am wishing I were home in Minnesota. I know most of you think I am crazy, but I do not mind the Minnesota winters.  I love the…

One night not long ago, Phil and I were just gotten into bed, looked out and  saw  an almost full moon through our window here in Puerto Vallarta. If you know Phil, he knows a ton of songs. He began singing this one: I see the moon and the moon sees me So God bless…

The (Puerto Vallarta (PV) Mirror is published each week in Puerto Vallarta. It is primarily for the tourists…..I guess we are that!  The Mirror covers everything from Letters to the Editor, Upcoming Art and Music Events, Health Matters, Fish Tales, Hi Tech, Real Estate and such things. This week’s issue had an article by Jonathan Dobrer,…

Puerto Vallarta to be exact.  We are in a new condo in Old Town or as it is commonly called, The Romantic Zone. (I will refer to it in my writing as OT from now on.) It is truly where everything is happening. (Don’t you know Phil is in his glory.) Only downside to “our…

Phil and I were not singing that song.  We were putting on layers of clothes to keep warm. Fortunately, we had warm jackets and enough long-sleeved shirts. For a couple of days, we thought we were back in Minnesota. We began our month in Florida on November 15.  At last count, we did all of…
