Old Times at Mike's Mother

When I first met Mike, my sister worked with his Mother, Kay.  Connie would take me to their house to play cards.  We would play until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.  Friday night we played cards until Midnight.  We felt like it was 4:00am.  We had three tables of Eucher and then played pass the Ace.  The Kids love that game. Astrid is quite the card shark.  We had a lot of fun.

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. We have been staying in the southwest since 2008, our last posting. In fact we are about done working and on our way to our next adventure. Most of you won't believe this but................... we are going to Cora, Wyoming, I think its snowing there right now, and we will be on a "Dude Ranch". Not really sure what we will be doing but it ought to be interesting. The name of the ranch is the Box R Ranch, located just outside of Cora, WY, which is about 60 miles southeast of Jackson Hole at about 7,500 feet in altitude. Friends that know the area said "There is nothing out there!". Sounds like an ideal place for a "dude ranch". I talked to the owner yesterday and he said we will be going out on cattle drives and doing alot of horseback riding. Go visit their website http://www.boxr.com/ . We will try to...

Chris LeDoux Park Dedication

Image
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...
