Friends--Birthdays--Disney World

Its nearly become a tradition that Louise Nelson and I (Marv) celebrate our birthdays at Disney World. Of course we do invite Loren and Bon to join us. Louise's birthday is January 23rd and mine January 21st.

Last year we celebrated at the Norway Pavillion at the World Showcase at Epcot.

This year Louise and Loren surprised us by taking us out to the Hoop-De-Doo Revue at the Wilderness Campground at Disney World. This is definitely one of the most popular shows at Disney World. It was a ball!

After the show, we boarded a horse-drawn carriage and finished the evening down by the Lake watching the Wishes Fireworks over the Magic Kingdom.

It was our last evening at Disney World for this winter and it was truly special!

Rich and Brownie

About 17 years ago when our Son Rich was working at Putter's Lounge in Flagstaff, Arizona a Truck Driver came into the Lounge with a little brown puppy and ask if anyone wanted this little girl. It was "love at first sight" and Rich and Brownie have been pals, traveling partners and "best friends" ever since.

The Truck Driver said he was traveling on a baron stretch of road across the Navajo Indian Nation when on the road edge he saw this little dog. As he traveling on down the road he kept thinking about this little dog and after about 10 miles he turned his 18 wheeler around headed back.

Rich and Brownie have been all over the west, New England, Texas, Arizona, Minnesota and most other lower 48 states when Rich worked as a Carpenter and the last couple year in Florida while Rich finished his Bachelor's Degree in Journalism at University of South Florida. Brownie spent some extended times with us when Rich was in Alaska and Venzuelua.

They literally took care of each other as Rich nursed Browie when she broke her leg in Teluride and got attached by two big dogs in Durango. Brownie was warmth when during cold winter nights in a small trailor in Durango.
