Freedom Isn’t Free

Freedom Isn’t Free

Mile: 109,127 This weekend we did not celebrate … instead we remembered those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to provide freedom to each and every one of us in America. Jackson is still too young to truly understand the true meaning of Memorial Day…

Mile: 108, 037 We got a few rides in this weekend but no real shenanigans! Had to get ready for the Easter Bunny! Jackson entered into a chocolate coma but revised himself with some chocolate milk. Don’t tell him but I may or may not…

Denmo’s Opening Day

Denmo’s Opening Day

Mile: 107,910

It was Opening Day at one of our favorite roadside stands, Denmo’s! As usual, they did not disappoint! It was a tad bit chilly so we actually ate in the truck. Nothing like some good grub!

Jackson even got a ride in the back of the truck at the office. I remember when we used to drive around Town in the back of pickup trucks. My how times have changed!— at Denmo’s Famous Split & Charred Hot Dogs.

Mile: 107,823 Well this is one of our most fun weeks! We got a new leprechaun blowup, even more green lights and plenty of swag to hand out! Too bad Uncle Steve was in Florida before St. Paddy’s Day because Jackson wanted to give the…

Mile: 107,235

Jackson and his bud Thomas went out on the Town in Ole Red last night. They got to hand out candy canes to a bunch of smiling people, have one themselves and even get a game of air hockey in.

Thomas even let me know he found out he is on the “nice list”!!!!!! Jackson is still TBD. 🤣

This is what life is all about… loving life in the eyes of a 6 year old. Nothing better!!!!

Mile: 107,043 Action Jackson had an eventful day. He got to see his buddy Christopher randomly at the gas station. It was time to give back to our local community. Action Jackson got to learn another lesson about giving back to those less fortunate in…

Boo!

Mile: 106,970 Jackson had a great Halloween! He dressed up as flash and was able to go tricker or treating with his buddies Enzo, Luca and Graham! He also carved his special Monster Truck pumpkin with a lit up smokestack! Ole Red and Jackson certainly…

Apple Fritter

Apple Fritter

Mile: 106,940

The leaves are falling and there is a crispness in the air. So Jackson and I are in love with these Apple Fritters they have at the local fairs.

We did a little investigation and found out they setup shop at Tonn’s Marketplace in Burlington, CT. Tonn’s s a great store with all kinds of fresh stuff and farm animals for the kids to see. They also had a haybale maze!

We set out on a beautiful day for Operaton Apple Fritter. It was a great hour long ride and our patience paid off with bags and bags of Apple Fritters. Plus Jackson got to have some Orange Soda but a small batch bottling plant. Needless to say he loved it.

On the way back I got to live back through high school sports history passing through many of the Town and seeing many of the fields I used to play in. It was a hunch of great memories just like I know one day these will be as well!

Last Call

Last Call

Mile: 106, 890 Well it was last call for Popey’s. We were lucky to know the last day of the season. I snagged Jackson out of school and off we went. There was a little coolness in the air but it was all good! Didn;t…
