By. It began with a tropical breeze and will close with the Mid-West freeze. As I get ready to depart for Chicago where I will spend New Year’s and the first two weeks of 2007 I sit here thinking of how blessed I’ve been this year. I was so sure sometime during 06′ that I’d [...]

End Detour
So it is official. We have completed the long jaunt across America and must immediately return to our regular lives! Awww!!!! Too much going on at the moment to blog about. I want to tell you all the details, but I’m in a rush. I suggest looking over the Steps Across website and pray that [...]
From Arizona to Cali & Back Again
Today I finally reached the California state line on our walking tour across America and only a few days remain. We started today a little ways outside of Parker, AZ and ended in the middle of Cali desert. Since we still have one extra night at the Super 8 Hotel in Quartzsite, AZ we had [...]
Photos from the weekend in Scottsdale…
Do I ever stop taking pictures? The answer is no. My Canon Digi Rebel and Kodak EasyShare cameras are on overdrive and I miss my other Lomo cams dearly. Sigh. Anywho – here are a few shots from this weekend. No firecrackers tonight, so I can upload these onto the site peacefully. Enjoy… Adrienne Return [...]
Second and Last APLS Game for Team TnT
Looks like our fabulous commissioners have posted the results of the last APLS game I participated in… Photos are included as well. Team TnT played their hardest, but were defeated by Ireland. A sad day indeed considering Lori did an amazing job blocking all the goals except the one that finished us off. You can [...]
Feeling Better in Socorro, New Mexico
Tummy is feeling a little bit better now. Just had K-Bob’s Famous Kabob and it was delicious, but I couldn’t eat it all. I’m trying to ease back into the eating thing. Listening to Jill Scott now…. Very relaxing… Have to be up at 5 am to hit the walking road again. Just thought I’d [...]
Heading Into Belen, NM
After eating Joseph’s fiery carne avovada burrito which translates to spiced chunks of pork in slimey green chile sauce yesterday, my stomach was under a massive insurgent attack. Considering I spent the whole night attached to the john having the frosted mini wheats this morning probably wasn’t the best idea, but I wanted them. Perhaps, [...]
Carnival in Pampa, Tex!
There was a carnival right across from the hotel we stayed at in Pampa, Texas. These are two of my favorite shots from the event. Richard is the mastermind behind the first and I am the artist of the second. Keeper of the Carnival! Carnival dreams and lights! This one is from Ms. Jaime Case’s [...]
Indian City, USA – Anadarko, Oklahoma
Yesterday I had the chance to check out some actual Indian dwellings from tribes like the Plains, Navajo, Kiowa, Witchita Cadoo and others in Indian City. I purchased a fresh pair of beaded earrings made by a local Commache woman. Excitement!!!! Got the address info for the Choctaw reservation in Durant, Oklahoma and found out [...]
Wal-Mart & Bentonville, Arkansas
This weekend I had the chance to kick it at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, AR during the huge shareholders meeting. I also saw the original Wal-Mart store pictured below on the 5k walk/run. Phun stuff! Our tour bus before the rain started pouring in Arkansas. The first Waltons or Wal-Mart of sorts. K. Yamaguchi and [...]
