We spent some time with two great young people last night and they really have it together. Kirsten's boyfriend Dane is planning a Grand Canyon hike soon and the pic to the right may be one of the trails he follows.  You can find more info on hiking the Canyon by going to this:  FAQ Page

This waterfall at the bottom of the Canyon will be a welcome respite from the heat that Dane and his friends will encounter, among other things....!
This experience will not change his life, but he will have a greater regard for it...:>)

Danny and Shula suggest another hike in Zion National Park and it is called the "Narrows".  This adventure has more information if you go HERE.  This hike requires some wading in waist deep water!!  I gotta do this!

There is so much to see and explore out West, so we will continue to search for the most unique sites. This is not your ordinary stroll in the park!

Love the hat...

We seldom post pictures of our grandchildren but in this case, our youngest grandson is properly disguised and loving the camera! With 10 grandchildren we feel so blessed that we can love such adorable spirits...
When we begin our travels, ample time will be given to staying within driving distance of our grandkids.  I hope he is not going to the racetrack!!

Maureen says that in a hostage situation, I would be released first.
I think that she could be right!  This week will be Humor week so until the full time life gets rolling, I am going to make Maureen laugh.

Leaving Home - Flying Away...again

All this preparation for the full time lifestyle brings you to the realization that you have to leave home... again. No make believe...everything real. Those days when living was an adventure and each day filled with possibilities of success and misfortune will soon be upon us....again. On reflection, life has lost some of its mystery, but our childlike curiosity has returned and we are excited about the quest...Its our story and it begins...again

Old time fun

Since we have yet to leave on our RV adventure, material to fill a Travel Blog is sorely lacking...but I can have some fun with pictures.  To the right is your usual portrayal of the golden years done with whimsical flair and loving detail. A caption befitting this photo could be
"Forty years and the face hair still tickles!

This photo grabbed my attention and the meaning could be quite profound....My grandmother was born in 1896 and was one of 11 children....these hands may represent experience and hope all in one moment.  what do they mean to you?
