I wanted to let those who subscribe on Facebook, a feed reader or by email that I’ll be adding some older material. We were away from home and I didn’t keep up with some of the diarists and letter writers from the civil war like I had intended to.
I’ll be working through each of the authors, one at a time, until I get caught up and ahead. The first will be Rutherford B. Hayes.
On Labor day, we headed out on an extended trip to the western United States. Over the next 6 weeks and three days we spent most of our time in Colorado, eastern Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. We did a lot of hiking and exploring. I took a lot of photos and some video, which I’ll be sharing, over the next few weeks and months, on my personal blog, Exit78.
I also relaxed and read more books than I had in a long, long time. Most of the time, we didn’t have access to television and, when we did, we watched very little. For the first time ever on one of our trips, we didn’t even listen to any radio stations. In our little motorhome, we had our ipods playing music both when were traveling and when we were camped. Our car is equipped with Sirius-XM, which is all we have on when we’re in it.
I’ll be adding the older material as I get to it, starting sometime later today.
