River Cruising with GCCL

Flying into Amsterdam

In November, Grand Circle Cruise Lines sent me on the last half of their river cruise, Romance of the Rhine and Mosel, to experience the trip and the ship.

Visit to Oklahoma in the Fall, 2012

Richard composts all leftover food scraps from his grocery store and his cafe, the Earth Natural Foods and the Earth Cafe, respectively.  One week of juicing vegetables and making sandwiches and soups will fill up all these buckets in the back of the truck.  And then Richard drives the scraps to the country just outside Norman where he mixes leaves into a large compost pile.   

Richard then flips the compost pile with a tractor to aerate it.

Meanwhile, Brian puts wheatgrass juice from the Earth in his ears to cleanse his ear passages.  

And in Eastern Oklahoma at Grand Lake, we cruised around in Pop's boat.
