Traveling Fool

Sometimes I get bored in the morning on my walks, and I like to have something to do.This past summer it was the search for Pianos on Parade; this autumn, it was decorative manhole covers, so it makes sense in the winter that I look for...lost winter wear like mittens, gloves and scarves. It gives me a purpose and helps pass the time. Of course, the day AFTER I decide to do this, I found NOTHING. Patience is not my strong suit, but I persevered. Here are the finds from my first week. Since winter really just started here in Minnesota, I anticipate more orphaned outerwear over the next three months. Not a glove, but I thought this was so cool

Things have been pretty quiet here. I wanted to go for a drive, but the weather isn't cooperating. So, no new Minnesota adventures. I have been making some more plans for the big trip which is officially less than six months away. I booked some cheap flights; I don't mind the train, but since I have so little time in each city, I don't want to be on a train. I also have bad luck on trains - they always seem to get stuck in the snow (Denmark), trouble on the line (London to Edinburgh), so I just can't risk getting stuck somewhere and missing a concert. Adele was kind enough to schedule two more concerts during my stay, so I will be up high in Wembley Stadium for one of the concerts. Phil Collins also announced a concert in Ireland on June 25, but that would disrupt my visit to my friends, so I'll pass. Besides, even though it seems to some of my friends that I have a money tree in the backyard, I do not. I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul and hoping it all works out i
