WELCOME TO: GEMINI RISING   UPDATED INTRO 30 JUNE 2025: Just a little about me. I've been married for 33 years this past NOV and currently live in Southern California, but I grew up in New Hampshire. I've got 2 boys who are young adults. I work as a 911 dispatcher for LAPD. I enjoy my job a lot. Still. If you can believe that. I love to write. Thankfully both of my boys achieved Eagle Scout. My Scouting days are over and I'm back to focusing on my writing. I like to get out in nature, drink coffee and watch football. Here's a little bio about my zodiac. GEMINI: Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. On the one hand it produces the virtue of versatility, and on the other the vices of two-facedness and flightiness. The sign is linked with Mercury, the planet of childhood and youth, and its subjects tend to have the graces and faults of the young. When they are good, they are very attractive; when they are bad they are more the worse for being the charmers they are. Like children they are lively, and happy, if circumstances are right for them, or egocentric, imaginative and restless. Their good qualities are attractive and come easily to them. They are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering - provided none of the activities resulting from expressing these traits interferes too greatly with their own lives and comforts. Geminians can be successful in many walks of life though their general characteristics tend to make them unreliable. They are often skilled manipulators of language, in speech and writing, and may be: debaters, diplomats (though in politics they are more interested in theory than practice), orators, preachers (brilliant rather than profound), teachers, authors, poets, journalists, or lawyers.

| Let’s just say there’s plenty of highway in Nebraska. And prairies, and wide open spaces. We were on the way to see the Archway Monument Museum which was a museum over Highway 80. SandraLynn was concerned there wouldn’t be enough parking for the Party Bus as we drove up to the Archway Museum, but there were was plenty! She skidded right up to a big fat RV. Poor AmyJo-Moving day's soon here was biting her nails, but I had faith. Lyn's a Witchy Woman was excited. Clearly this wasn’t your traditional museum. The museum covered the history of how the west was settled, talking about the Oregon Trail and then it had a really cool railroad display. Trains is something that always fascinated me. Jellyfish enjoyed the railroad display, too. There was a classic car and a roadside café. Sung'manitu was getting hungry. WakeUpAndLive and AmyJo-Moving day's soon here bought a bunch of puzzles at the gift shop. After our stop, SandraLynn drove the Party Bus to the Classic Car Museum in Kearney, Nebraska. They had quite a collection of cars from the 1920s on up. Personally, I liked the fast cars and the Mustangs. Princess Megan Rose likes Mustangs too. Toward the end of the day, we went to see the Sandhill Cranes. Krista just loved hanging out with the Cranes and took a lot of pictures for her Instagram. We all marveled at the Cranes and it was good to get out in nature and stretch the legs. Me, Lyn's a Witchy Woman and Princess Megan Rose had a bird count competition going on but I suck at counting birds. Princess Megan Rose won. Sung'manitu found some great places to eat in Kearney and we went to the Suwannee Thai place. I love medium hot peanut dishes and Suwanee had some great menu choices. They had great vegan options for Jellyfish . Me, Lyn's a Witchy Woman , SandraLynn and Princess Megan Rose tore up some Crispy Chicken. WakeUpAndLive enjoyed a hot cup of tea with some Thai veggies and noted that Nebraska was a pretty laid back state. We all agreed. After a wonderful dinner – and who would have thunk it – Nebraska had the BEST Thai food we ever had – we settled down for a good night’s sleep before our next adventure. |
