Mike's Dad

Mike's step-father, Roy A. Hess, died August 2, 2010.  He had been sick for years with heart and lung problems and then cancer.  He was buried at the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery in Duncanville, Texas on August 27, 2010.  Roy was a World War II and Korean Veteran.  We arrived in Dallas on July 7th and were very happy to spend the last month with Mike's Dad.

Friday night, they held a Memorial Rodeo in the honor of Chris LeDoux.  Chris and Peggy LeDoux's daughter, Cindy, did barrel racing.  Casey LeDoux, who is 4 years old also ran the barrels.  Actually, Cindy ran, and Casey rode. Beau LeDoux, the youngest son, did bronco riding. Beau stayed on the entire ride.  Awesome!

Lake Placid, New York

Image
We travelled from Niagra Falls to Lake Placid, New York.  It was not in our itinerary, but then again, we do not really have one.  We were heading towards Maine and saw that Lake Placid was just a little way off our path.  So....side trip! We stayed at the Lake House overlooking Mirror Lake. Our room was rustic with a beautiful view. We toured the town and ate at a brewery. Again, we walked over 2 miles.  The next day we toured the Olympic Center.  The 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid. On the way out of town to Trapp Family Lodge, we went to the Olympic Ski area and took the tram to the top.  I do not like heights.  Freaked me out.  Mike loved it. Not loving it!!!
