The Hidden Things Close To Home
To get away from the pressures of the day I recently took a two-day trip to Lafayette, Indiana, particularly to the Haan Museum of Indiana Art. This year I am limiting my µRV trips to close to home sites. I stayed at Turkey Run State Park and visited a few museums in Lafayette and a short side trip to Williamsport Indiana. It is fascinating how … Continue reading The Hidden Things Close To Home
LOM – On The Margin Recipes
As written on a previous post cooking has been a significant part of my life since I was 10 years old. That was when my mother left us for greener pastures. I started cooking some of the weekly meals for Dad, my younger brother, and me. Dad was a cook in the army, so he learned how to make milk gravy and pork chops. That … Continue reading LOM – On The Margin Recipes
Seeking US History Buffs
The very first blog I opened in 2008 was entitled InSearchOfAmerica or ISOA. It was about my portfolio of pictures I had taken on my travels around the country documenting historical sites. In those days the Internet was in its infancy so a dozen views a day was pretty good, but the blog just never grew as I had hoped. I have been trying to … Continue reading Seeking US History Buffs
Beauty Is…
First, let’s finish off the title of this post Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder I am going to spend the coming Sundays showing you what I consider as beauty. I have always been fascinated by Navajo artistry and I found it in spades at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque NM. Continue reading Beauty Is…
I’ve Really Tried… But I Just Have No Patience For…
I’ve really really tried, but I have just run out of patience for reading a 200+ page books, or maybe it is time I have run out of.🧐 I will admit that I have never been a novel reader. Almost every book I have read in the last 40 years has been about history, religion, or government/politics. Long fictional novels has never been my venue. … Continue reading I’ve Really Tried… But I Just Have No Patience For…
Central Park – NYC
This is another of my abstract realism photos that I’m kinda proud of. It looks like an abstract, but it is totally real. It was taken in 2000 during our last visit to Central Park before our relocation back to the Midwest. Continue reading Central Park – NYC

Creative Street Lights
Throughout my travels across America I am constantly on the lookout for creative things. Louisville seems to have them in spades. Continue reading Creative Street Lights
My Acadian Friend
I have got to put this picture back on the revised-edition of RJsView as it is one of my favorite memories from my visits to our northern neighbors. This old guy has likely spent a very long life in a very cold place. When I came across him, I almost had the feeling that I was invading his space, but got the idea that he … Continue reading My Acadian Friend

Life Stories – The Sound Of Music
The above photo was taken at the 2019 Mississinewa Battle Reenactment. When I took the picture my heart sunk just a little and sadness overcame me. This is not the first time that has happened. In fact, I have felt the same thing hundreds of times in the past 20 years or so. In my youth I very much enjoyed music. It was not until … Continue reading Life Stories – The Sound Of Music
Wall Art
For this post, I give you a piece of wall art. I mean that literally “wall art”. I need to give you a little background before I tell you more about it. I went deaf in 1988. It was not a sudden thing, it slowly evolved for a 20-year period. One of the things I missed the most immediately was that TV was just not … Continue reading Wall Art

In The US The Tail Often Wags The Dog
Let’s face it, it seems our world has become dysfunctional of late. ☹️ Nothing gets done that really makes any difference. It’s hard to be optimistic about the future right now. I kinda think it is because we let the tail wag the dog in way too many areas. Let me give you some examples: Mask Usage – There is still a significant minority of … Continue reading In The US The Tail Often Wags The Dog
