Roadrunner, Homer and the banjo

Roadrunner, Homer and the banjo

Homer Simpson and the banjo are obvious - why the roadrunner?

Not long after we moved to the Crystal River FL area in the early 1980s, Connie became very involved in scouting with our son.  She was on the road so much and put so many miles on her car that her best friends husband gave her the nickname "Roadrunner".  The name stuck and later another friend presented her with a stuffed one that has proudly ridden in her car ever since.  Unfortunately that one is bigger than Homer and a plastic toy one based on the cartoon series with the coyote has been selected to travel with us.

  2. We certainly have the west half of the US on our radar screen for a trip within the next year. Give our best to Judy and the kids.

    It took me a while to respond to this comment as my own blog would not let me. I have made changes to the comment permissions to allow comments without having one of the listed accounts.
