In May 2023, a milestone occurred with the passing of Miss Paula's father. The long journey of someone suffering from Alzheimer's ended as he marched onward without us. Following the Labor Day holiday and all the darling children returning to school, we decided to take a vacation across country to visit friends old and new.
This was our first trip together in the 8 years since we began taking care of Miss Paula's father, and turned into quite the adventure. We bought a patented gold claim in Nevada, met the new neighbors, and had fun doing a little gold mining in between the traveling and camping.
It will take a bit to get things wrapped up at home in Maryland, and we have a few friends we still want to visit on the East Coast. Miss Paula wants to go dig Herkimer Diamonds for her collection, then it'll be south and westward bound with the goal of visiting Quartzite, Arizona for the winter swap meet. Soon after it will be spring in the desert and time to get busy on the gold claim.
Until then ... Be safe. Be Blessed. May the bottom of your pan always be yellow.,

Starting on my end of the year sorting through the piles on my desk and credenza for what to keep and what to throw routine, I found a hidden treasure. The summer of 2015, we lived at Happy Camp, California, there was a group of film students working on a project. We, among others, were interviewed for their film. Here is the culmination of their hard work ... Lonely As God. Comment at the Contact Us page, or to sasha.flamm@gmail.com
