Mojo Road Trip 2024 Day 24 June 26, 2024 - Touchdown!!


 Hello Fabulous Followers!  Today we went to Canton's Football Hall of Fame.  Wait, wait, wait, before you say I don't like football and who cares about going there?!  Let me explain...we are a family of football lovers - it is a great team sport to watch.  It elicits a realm of emotions - happy, sad, tears, anger, irritation, frustration, resignation, shock, joy.  Every emotion possible can be felt following football, especially if you are a Jaguars fan like we are.

Let me add another perspective, the female perspective.  I, personally, like big men and I love to watch big men in tights (especially black tights) play.  They are so fine, so hot....see!  a whole range of emotions can be elicited watching those guys bend, squat and swat each other on the hiney.  

Football provided a positive outlet for some who could have taken a wrong turn in life. 

I loved seeing the room with all the busts of those who are in the Hall of Fame.  I looked at everyone and took lots of pics. Let's take a look.

This is Mel Blount who was born in Vidalia, Georgia and played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He gave back to the Vidalia community by founding the Mel Blount Youth Home in Vidalia to assist young boys become productive members of society.  Why do I like this?  My mom and dad were born in the Vidalia area and my extended family still lives there.



This is Merle Olsen who played for the LA Rams.  Why do I like him?  Cause he was on Little House on the Prairie.


This is Leroy Butler born in Jacksonville, FL and played for Green Bay Packers. He and I went to the same high school.  We are both graduates of Robert E Lee High School - he was 2 years behind me.
In my senior year of high school, I got to see him play.



This is Tony Boselli and he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars.  I watched him play his entire professional career and it was a joy.


Take a look at this picture.  Yes, I know this is not from the Hall of Fame.  But Joe and I scored a touchdown when we met Pam and Paul 2 years ago on a cruise.  Since our meeting, we became friends and have enjoyed other travel adventures with them, and have some future travels planned too. Through them we met other great people that was introduced in yesterday's blog. Because of them, we visited Kent, Ohio and thoroughly enjoyed this town. It is just a great, wholesome mid-west town.


Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin our journey home.

See ya tomorrow.  Blessings!

France 2025 - D Day

 Hello Fabulous Followers!  Joe and I have embarked upon another travel adventure - 40 days!  The first part of our journey lasts 20 days in France, traveling with a group led by our travel agent, Pam. We are on a AmaWaterways river cruise that started in Paris and navigating the Seine River northward. Now, I usually start a blog with the beginning of our journey (and I will catch you up), but I have been led in a different direction after today's experience. Today, we traveled to the beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery at Normandy.  We sang the National Anthem, had a flower bearing ceremony, listened to Taps and had a moment of silence. The veteran gentleman who presented the flowers is a member of our group.  What a touching moment! There are 5 Normandy beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The Omaha beach stormed by the Americans was by far the most treacherous to navigate.  These soldiers had to escape the boats or die, and what w...

Mojo Rants and Blunders - France & More 2025

  Hey Fabulous Followers!  Yes, we have been back for 2 weeks, but voices in my head still wants me to write this blog.  These voices and thoughts have been in my head during our trip and they want out, so here goes! WARNING:  Some comments below are honest, true feelings and blunt. I have a few rants about this trip.   1. Europeans have better food, walk, take public transporation, and are mostly smaller than we Americans, but they like to smoke!  If you know me well, I abhor smoke, nicotine, tobacco, vaping, e-cigarettes. Go to a restaurant and the first thing they give you is an ashtray.  No way Jose, take that thing away!! But these people smoke and blow it in your face.  There were a few times, I thought about throat punching a few people. But I didn't, cause I am so sweet, but when I could I blew back in their face. So there! 2. Wash cloths.  Oh my word! While in Nice, Geneva, Brussels and Southampton - this was 10 nights!  No...

  Hey Fabulous Followers! This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Alice whom I called Auntie Mama! After my mom died, I coined the name Auntie Mama.  Aunt Alice looked a lot like my mom and people at times thought I was her daughter. Joe and I decided over a year ago to take this trip that was earned in a casino.  Since I was provided a balcony room for 2, I decided to upgrade to a junior suite with a sunset balcony. This means our room was in the aft or back of the ship.  It is an unbelievable sized balcony where we spent lots of time enjoying our private paradise. I                                                   This get away was about rest, relaxation and just enjoy being with each other.  We had 2 ports of call.  The first was Costa Maya . We took an excursion to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins which means the " Place of the Red Corn ," ...
