Day 5

Day 5..

Well, today was a day to just relax. We had the big storm last night and it was pretty cloudy. I decided that we needed to do laundry so we went searching for a laundromat. Boy, they are expensive. $4.50 a pop for a big washer. $2.50 a pop for regular old washers. Of course since we didn’t have that much, I chose the latter for $5.00. However, a couple of things happened to me that had my brother Bob in hysterics. By the time I had put the laundry in, I sat down and to my surprise the chair completely was broken and I fell backwards on my butt. Actually it was a metal bar that had 4 chairs on it. Took two people to get this fat body up. Thank goodness I didn’t break a hip. So when I sat down again, I looked down and saw I had a tick on my ankle. It was brown not black like I usually see. Let’s pray I don’t get Lyme disease. Finally, Joe pointed out that we had deer poop all over our campsite. It did look nasty but it wasn’t right up where we were. Later, as Joe was doing another project on the camper, he decided that it wasn’t deer poop but some kind of moss. I don’t know, looks like poop to me. You be the judge.

Tomorrow we are on the road again. Going to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We’ll be staying at Lake Catherine State Park. We’re going to spend the day at Hot Springs National Park. There are only two places where you can get in and they are bathhouses. I plan to get the basic plan which includes bath and massage. Can’t wait for it! I can’t talk Joe into it. The mineral water is supposed to be good for joint pain. The journey continues.

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...
