Big Smile on MY FACE!!

Three weeks and counting

Just another photo from the cabin in Colorado.
The RV will be here any minute now. It might be here,
but the man did not call. I have a new TV, a Sony Bravia,
a small Shark vaccuum, an indoor/ outdoor thermometer
like I have in the house, some new utensils for the kitchen,
and this wonderful stained glass candle holder that I saw
at the farmers market. I had just purchased my truck when
I saw this item, "Don't let your dreams be just that......."

So perfect for my decisions on my current future life. I am
sure everyone has said this before, I think I will go to______
for a visit or I'd like to live ____________. That's what I am
doing.....A new venture, maybe a new homestead. No more
dreams, I am going to do it, while I can.

My new home for the winter will be on South Padre Island,
Texas. I spent at least one day a week over there last winter,
so I am going to stay full time this year. The mobile will be
put on the market and I hope we can sell it fast.

Ya'll are welcome anytime, I have room for two in a hide-a-bed in
the living room. With the super slide out, I have a nice sized LR,
not cramped. I think I will buy some grass.....aka green indoor
outdoor carpet, to put under the awning, to cut down on the
dust, dirt, salt and sand........

I can't wait to get going........on the road........November 14...........


a few more photos of what I did last winter, riding the bike along
the shore line, stopping at Dolly Parton's in Branson, the beach and
the waves and the gulf, those birds on the golf course.....this summer at
state HS BB, the father of the Ankeny Hawk on the left.....we played
ball together in the summer co rec league. This young man is a
HS Jr, he was just a baby.......th interstae between Denver and Breck..

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again........

I'll drive my Ram to the ocean and it won't be dry, a good old girl
drinking martini's on the beach, singing this will be the place I will
live....happily after ever after.....

Aloha ya'll..........

Mice in Famous Places

A Colorado Pest came home with me...........

On the Road Again

This Michigan car was on the road in Nebrask.
Military skiers
Marla...how do I rotate?

BRECKENRIDGE BEAVERFEST 2007

The Beaverfest 2007......

Mother Nature and the JFK Girls

On the last entry, you saw ZTA inspecting the Bullet to see the born
on date. This time an avalanche, the aspens, the Gold Pan Bar,
a bad tasting cosmo, snow the Frisco Lake, our home away from
home, and the arrival Pic ofZTA and Boomer.....more to follow.
I have over 1,000 photos to go thru for this..........

Once Again, Back Home Again

The last month has been busy, buying my new home and then going on
a road trip to Colorado. What a beautiful job done by Mother Nature.
We awoke two days to SNOW!!!! Not my favorite thing. By noon or earlier,
it had melted off. While on the road, my favorites CUBBIES won their
division and are headed to the playoffs. Needless to say....three and out,
right along with the Angels and Philly and maybe the Yanks tonight.
I will be making several blogs of my trip, so enjoy.....in less than a
month, I will be ON the Road again, to Texas.....

First stop, Chappelle Nebraska, Boomer and hubby Jim, me in my "new"
Corvette, Boomer on the golf course and the first view of the mountains
while driving on I 80....this time boomer took the pics....not me...

Close, but NO Cigar

Don't know how to rotate the photo.......

Anyway, Sharon, Jan and Marla, this is the par three #6 at Honey Creek.
I had the perfect line from tee box to hole, but it stopped about
18" short......Dreaming again, but oh was it fun for a heart beat!

This is the hole they were spraying the foam on

Another WAHOO Week end coming up

This is the scene from last fall's
get together, at the Lake near
Fremont, Neb. It was the same
week end as the NEBR--So Cal.
football game and it rained like a
@#$%&* if you get my drift. This
year the party moves to the
mountains in Colorado, near
Breckenridge and probably in
2008 we will invite the whole
college to join us again back in
THE WHO.........I think I have last
year's group in this posting,this
year we will have about 10 women,
five or six days in a cabin in the
mountains, San Francisco to Denver
to Iowa to North Carolina and Maryland.
WOW.....lots of frequent flier miles.......

Bah Humbug

It is a BAH HUMBUG Day.....This photo show a basketball game, but also
shows my allegiance to the Hawkeyes....The football team lost on a field goal
kick today, with 5 seconds left. The heart almost stopped on the kick off
with one second to play. Too bad the runner didn't look to his right, there was
a teammate to flip the ball to.......run all over the field for a TD! Didn't
work. The game was lousy, but the IOWA defense still has not allowed
a touchdown this season, but they have not played much competition.
They took too long to get untracked and then slipped up again........I hope this
is a great learning experience and the boys will get their stuff
together for the Big Ten season, which starts next week.

ON IOWA

Holiday Weekend

Wow, it has been three weeks since
my last posting. This retired life is
crazy, no time for anything to stay
in order. We had a big group on the
farm for the Holiday week end, with
guest of honor, Granny Nanny from
Arizona. The Hummers tormented me
for hours. I shot about 200 pics, one
I have found is truly, nearly, almost,
just about....PERFECT! I will be printing
it for the spring photo contest. You
can see we had a bon fire every night,
along with some golf, frozen daiquiries,
lots of great food, kabobs, hot dogs on
the fire and those wonderful Dayton
Rib Eyes.......
