Recap of this week (June 17, 2012)
It was another hot one today. The last few days have been really adding up the heat. I think it’s Thursday evening now before they say it will be better. I like summer and the heat, but I’m really getting worried about what July will bring if it’s in the 90s now. I did voluntarily […]

Kiwis on Facebook
Remember I told you about the Kiwis on Tour that showed up at Bonnieville Salt Flats while we were there? Rich found them on Facebook! Here is a link to the group we saw that day. https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.377666138962720.87627.111084082287595&type=1

Back in the saddle again
So I’ve almost put in a full week at work. My mind isn’t quite ready to accept the fact that I’m sitting at a desk and not out walking around a forested area somewhere. It seems unreal. I know I’ll get used to it. I just don’t want to. My minions did very well without […]

Vacation Day 18: Home Sweet Home
For the last time on this vacation, Rich woke up again. Today is the last day on the road. We have to get from Des Moines, IA to Holiday Hills. The day was going to prove a warm one, so the air conditioning was on from the start. No hanging either arm out of the […]

Vacation Day 17: Almost Home
Yet again, Rich woke up. From our drive yesterday, you remember that we beat it out of Colorado ahead of some pretty nasty storms. We had heard on the TV that tornados had touched down outside of Ft Collins and Greeley. Our hotel for the evening turned out to be a renovated thing from the […]

Vacation Day 16: Wagons Eastward Ho!
Addendum: Added a paragraph below on Rick and the swallows. And….Rich woke up today. Yesterday, we had a long driving day. Rich had wanted to stop and see the Colorado National Monument Park just outside of Grand Junction. We decided that since our drive today was shorter, we would take the time to go […]

Vacation Day 15: First leg of journey home
You guessed it, Rich woke up today. Allergies all messed up this morning. I’m hoping it’s from the cigarette smoke and will go away. My nose and eyes keep running all through the drive. When I stopped for gas in Utah, my eyes were running so bad; it looked like I was crying. The attendant […]

Vacation Day 14: Leaving for Las Vegas
Yes, Rich did happen to wake up today. Breakfast was at the IHOP attached to the hotel. Rich had a bad experience at an IHOP a long time ago, but it was the only thing close by. I had stuffed French toast, Rick had a bacon omelet, and Rich went for an omelet as well. […]

Vacation Day 13: L.A. Lifestyle
I’ve started this blog early, so Rich isn’t awake yet. I’m sure he will be in a half an hour. For those who don’t know, Rich told me that the most important event every day has been that he woke up on the right side of the grass. I woke up early today for some […]

Vacation Day 12: OD on Big Trees
Rich woke up again today. Just can’t say that enough. Noises start early at the John Muir Lodge. I got the guys up and moving at 8:00 to start the day. We went down for breakfast at the restaurant. Nothing big to speak of. Just regular breakfast stuff. We checked in at the Visitor’s Center […]
