Day 4

Day 4–Village Creek State Park

What a day it was. I got a good shower in the bathhouse which “did my body good”. We then went to the visitor center which had WiFi so I could post Day 3. We then took a short hike called Arboretum Trail. It was a nice hike and we were enveloped in a canopy of trees. After this I wanted to go see Crowley’s Ridge. We went to the state park and was told we were on the ridge. Anyway, went on another hike, a little longer and harder to navigate. Thank goodness I used both of my walking sticks because I for sure would have fallen. My knees were killing me and I hadn’t worked my right hip like this. By the time I finished my legs felt like jello. I finished though and was proud of myself because it was a hilly trail over lots of roots. Was hoping to see some critters. The only critter I saw was a dead tree frog. Joe did see a lizard. However, because I usually don’t stop to smell the roses, I determined to be more aware of things. In so doing I actually noticed things I wouldn’t ordinarily notice. I took pictures of some cool looking mushrooms. Don’t know if they were edible, but who knows maybe one was a shroom. 😜  By the time we left it was starting to rain. The remnants of Tropical Storm Chrisobel is coming our way. Tomorrow supposed to have heavy rains and wind gusts. So looks like it will be a lazy day tomorrow.Hope to pick up some things for grandchildren. I told the I’d pick up something wherever we stayed. What did I do???
Anyway, the adventure will continue.

Day 8 Fun with family

Day 8 Joe informed me that my days were off by one. Oh well, I’ve told you everything I needed to say so I’m continuing with the day I’m on.😊 Today was a fun day with family. Went over to Chuck and Marilyn’s house for breakfast . She’s such a good cook. We had fruit, quiche, and blueberry muffins. Delicious. They have remodeled their house since we were here last. Looks beautiful. My niece and her family came over for lunch. It was great seeing my niece Brandi, and my great niece Margaret. We were also celebrating Brandon’s ((Brandi’s husband) birthday. Marilyn cooked a shrimp boil. Have never had that. You put a lot of things together in a pot and cook. She had corn on the cob, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and onions. It was very good. Then time for luscious desserts. My great niece made homemade key lime pie, my favorite. Brandon made a homemade blackberry pie. Ice cream and brownies as well. Needless to say I only had a small salad for dinner. In the middle of all this eating ...

Day 27...Yellowstone

Day 27-Yellowstone  Day 27- Yellowstone Well we have no cell or internet so I haven’t been able to post this in a timely manner. Hopefully, we’ll find someplace tomorrow with good cell service or wi-fi. So today was full of adventure . We woke up early to head out to see the sight. The first place we visited was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. What a sight to behold. All this places in the ground with bubbling water/mud . It is so unreal to think about all that’s going on below the service. Got good pictures. Our purpose today was to see critters. Supposedly they are to be found in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Hayden is known for its bison and Lamar is known for grizzlies, bears, wolves and other critters. We were not disappointed in Hayden . We saw all kinds of buffalo and got some decent pictures. We also went to the Mud Volcano and it is as it’s name implies. Hot, hot bu...

Day 16 Standing on the Corner

Day 16 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in FB land. Hope you all had a great day. Joe and I had a different and fun celebration. We are staying in Homolovi State Park which is Hopi Indian land. There are two main archeological sites. Currently there are not digs going on but we hiked to two of the sites. They have uncovered  two Pueblo’s  (villages) which were fascinating. They have uncovered several rooms and even a kiva (religious room). There were plenty of pottery shards that have been found. There have been vandals here so now it’s a crime to take stuff. There are signs all over the place. Anyway, between the 2 hikes we probably walked a mile or so. It was hot and we were climbing up on a Mesa so we were winded. I have been drinking lots of water so I think i’m doing better with regards to dehydration. After the hikes, we went to downtown Winslow and got pictures at the “Standing On The Corn...
