Columbus Day Greetings





It's still dreary and overcast with intermittent rain here in Childress. Really cool temps, down in the high 30's to low 40's at night. Sure glad the heater works really well in the RV!

Saturday morning eight of the bridge playing ladies hosted a coffee in Dee's honor and gave her a Gift Certificate for 4 meals at K-Bobs Steakhouse here in Childress. They are all such nice ladies and caught Dee completely by surprise with the gift. We are playing bridge this afternoon so hope to get a photo of the group.

The above photos were taken last month while we were at Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. Both of us posed at the entrance of the Avenue of the State Flags with Mt. Rushmore in the background. Absolutely beautiful country. We drove from Custer, SD the long way to Rushmore via Iron Mountain Road. It was about 45 miles longer but the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. Of course Larry & I could not resist taking the photo of the Big Horn Ram in shoulder-deep prairie grass. We also say buffalo roaming free and lots of wild donkeys. The donkeys got up close and personal with one lady who was feeding them (which the Park Service posts warnings not to do!). This dummy had 3 or 4 donkeys heads through the door of her car at one point. As I said, what a dummy! Anyway, enjoy the photos.

Larry and our host friend Bob had a garage sale last Saturday, in the rain but the did okay and got rid of a few more things. I've been helping Penny clean out their spare bedroom and organizing a filing system for Bob so they can find things. It was a lot of work but they can now proceed with their plans to re-do the room the way they want.
