Bob and Debbie Conroy - Enjoying the Journey Together!

I found a copy of some old blogs on a hard drive. Note that the links do not work. 23Oct2008 Finally posting some pictures from the trip to Omaha with Bill, Fay, Mikki, Aimee, Debbie and me to see Katie and the kids in September The Lucinda Williams concert was a big disappointment. She made a few rambling political statements and seemed to think better of it and then only made things worse. Many people felt insulted and started to leave early and Debbie and I were among them. It ruins her music for me. I found some articles that Fay has written since moving to Germany: http://www.kaiserslauternamerican.com/article.php?i=8355 and http://www.kaiserslauternamerican.com/article.php?i=8347. She has a lot of articles and photo credits on this page: http://www.21tsc.army.mil/ My first cousin Dave O’Karma is one of those people that make the world a more interesting place by his creativity and chutzpah.

Here are some old blogs from 2007: 31Dec07 We went with Mike and Linda to the New Years Eve event at Hilton Garden Inn. It appeared to be similar to past Val Air events. The modal attendee was a 25 - 35-year old that drinks too much – very sad to watch. 30Dec07 We are back from the road trip to Kearney NE.

They are adapting well to their new surroundings. 25Dec07 It was a strange Christmas without little ones around. The Lanes went to Sioux City the weekend before Christmas and then spent Christmas Day together in Kearney. 15Dec07 oh no! The Val Air has been taken over by the dark side. Looks like a hip-hop/grunge/ metal event is replacing our big band and rock cover band. We have to find another place to go on New Year’s Eve. 14Dec07 We just got back from a week in AZ with Merge.

Here are some old blogs from the archives. A note that might help make more sense of these posts: The primary audience was my mother. She was living in Arizona and this was before she was on Facebook.  My sister Deb or Mom’s neighbors would print the posts for her to read.  Also, note that none of the links from the original posts are active.   April 2005 April 15. We had a great time in AZ. Merge and Pete have promised to visit Iowa this summer while Deb K. is still on the fence. Now what to do with the DVDs and CDs?? We visited the Biosphere 2 on this trip. It was interesting but I still am not sure why anyone built it! Debbie and I have rescheduled our New York City trip until June. Too much going on and too many people moving in May. We are waiting for Merge and Deb K to commit to a trip back to Des Moines in July and then we will schedule the rest of our vacation time. April 18. We watched Grease at the DM Civic Center.
