BIT 26 – August 9, 2008

Well, we’re now in Northern Ireland and we’ve been having a marvellous time!

This is what a typical Irish cottage would have looked like before the Potato Famine.

We headed up by train to Belfast, and after a long day, ended up arriving in Derry, Londonderry County, where Continue reading “BIT-26”

My mom with the Mayor of Galway!

Hello again,

Our time in Galway was a great blessing.  It was everything I had imagined it being!  We left Dalkey and headed up the “Dart” commuter line to Dublin, and then got the Bus from Connelly Station to Heuston Station to catch the train to Galway.

While on the Bus, I heard a gentleman speak to his daughter in Spanish… so… before the Bus arrived I said hello in Spanish which gave him quite a surprise! Continue reading “BIT-25”

This is a fountain in the old part of Leonberg.

Well, dad and I have been having a great time so far since my last BIT, we’ve moved to a few different locations.

First off, we went to Leonberg and stayed there with a German family we met at the IBC Church… we stayed with them for about a week.  They have a large family and Marion, the mom, is a great cook… I think we gained a few extra pounds while staying with them! Continue reading “BIT-21”

Here I am again on TV-45!

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.  The last few weeks have been very intense.  Unfortunately, two days after I wrote my last BIT, on April 6th a dear friend of mine, Buck Buchanan, passed away.  He was like my 2nd Dad… I’ll sure miss him.

The TV interview at “The Good Life TV 45” went well.  It turned out that It was the very first Spanish program that they had ever done!  The program went well and It was nice to be back there again. Continue reading “BIT-20”

BIT 16 – December 13, 2007

Wow, this has been a great trip around the country… lots of beautiful places.  Dad and I headed out towards Southern California and went through Colorado with it’s majestic Rockies where we stopped to visit a good friend just outside Denver.  We then traveled down into New Mexico and stayed with some really great folks in Santa Fe.  They’re more like family now.

Afterwards, we continued on to Arizona where dad wanted me to see this place called Sedona, a gorgeous colorful town he remembered from years ago. So me, being “resident navigator” of this entourage, found a “shortcut” on the map. Well, at least that’s Continue reading “BIT-16”

BIT 12 – July 17, 2007

Hello all,

Not much happening here since my last BIT… We’ve been pretty busy with visitors from the States so I’ve not had the time for practice or for doing gigs lately.  Also my mom got pretty sick here, and between trying to take care of her, until the doctor could stabilize her so my dad and I could send her back stateside to recover and get the care she needs with some great friends of ours.  She’s doing much better now, Thank God!

Dad had a guy from Texas come down on a mission trip for 3 weeks.  So dad was pretty busy getting Chris around and I was taking care of my mom.  While Chris was here we also met Continue reading “BIT-12”
