At fifty years we were Golden

  Last year at fifty-one, we declared ourselves to be Goldener.   Now, fifty-two years married today, we could be Goldenerer, or maybe Goldenest.  I think we’ll go with Goldenest from now on.  Judy says fifty-two years ago she married her best friend.  I say lucky me.   We’re at Lake Murray State Park in Oklahoma.   2018 May Colorado Trip

Oh darn

    Love bugs.   We got in early enough we scrubbed them off before they stuck too badly.  Hopefully we’re far enough north we’re out of them for the rest of this trip.  Well see…   Couldn’t get into any State Parks for the weekend; they’re all booked up.  We’re spending the night at the KOA in Austin.   2018 May Colorado Trip   Not bad.  Heard a chuck-wills-widow calling tonight.   Tomorrow, north again, but not as much…

Just our luck

  Right before we got to our destination for the day, the skies opened up in a deluge; an afternoon thunderstorm attached to a weather front moving through.  Wouldn’t you know though, as we pulled up to the park gate, where Judy had to run inside to check us in, and I had go out and unhook the tow-car, the wind and rain stopped until we got checked in and settled at our campsite.  Just our luck.   We’re at Choke Canyon State Park for the night.   2018 May Colorado Trip   The afternoon storms pushed down about a hundred Mississippi kites for the day.   Glorious after-storm in-between-showers cool weather, but terrible light for photos.  Nothing but silhouettes.   Then a bunch of cattle egrets.     Then black vultures.     We’re headed north again tomorrow.
