We aren’t always fancy folk, but Texans have more community spirit and love of country than you can find most anywhere.

Posted by thatcarlady in Road Trip Across The Ocean, Road Trips on May 1, 2012
The natural wonders on Long Island, Bahamas continue to amaze me. The deepest seawater blue hole in the world is nestled in a small cove on the ocean side of the island. About two thirds of the way South on the island and just north of Clarence Town which is the capitol, a shell and [...]

Posted by thatcarlady in Road Trips, Technology on April 23, 2012
Long Island, Bahamas is a very simple place; there are not any spas, casinos, or resorts (at least not like you find on most Caribbean islands).

“At a time when the world seems to be spinning hopelessly out of control, There’s deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners, That seem to have no place to go. Well, it’s the same old song, it’s right and it’s wrong, And living is just something that I do. And I found myself in you. I [...]
