Deb and I have talked to some of you and heard the weather was not the same as it is here.

Looks like retirement is treating you very good. As to the blog - I guess that you can teach an --- gal new tricks. (I better be careful since we are the same age.)

KOA - Pomona, California

Image
OK ................ here we go again. Well the rally is over and now we traveled all the way to the KOA campground right outside the fairplex, about a half mile from where we were. We are set up and now is time to get groceries, do laundry and all that stuff we have to do after a week of "dry camping", without electricity, water or sewer. The weather is very nice, about mid 70's with no clouds. We are camping next to Mike and Sue. Here we are with Mike & Sue gambling illegally in the state of California.

Where Are The "Days" Now...

Where are the Day's...................... we are alive and doing well. Currently in Apache Junction, Arizona at a +55 resort working for our stay.

Chris LeDoux Park Dedication

Saturday, over 1,000 people filled the little town of Kaycee, Wyoming for the dedication of a park in Chris LeDoux's honor.  Chris died in 2005. Chris LeDoux was a genuine singing cowboy and rodeo champion.  Mike has loved his music long before Garth Brooks sang about him in a song.  We stayed in Kaycee for 11 days.  It was a great honor to meet the family and talk to the relatives.  Across the street from the park is Chris LeDoux's father-in-laws store, "The Rusty Spur."  He is a wonderful man that reminded me of my Grandpa.  He sits on his stool by the counter and there are two rocking chairs beside him just inviting people to sit and stay for awhile.  We loved going in there.  The horse, "Stormy Weather" is standing on a Guild Guitar which is engraved on the side, "beneath these western skies." Lyrics from one of Chris's songs.  The picture below was taken the day they set the bronze and before the flowers were plant...
