I dropped my son off at the airport this morning. He’s on a 10-day adventure and I’m left with a funny feeling. It marks a change in my life. A shift. Some people call it the empty nest syndrome. Whatever… I called my brother. He has three daughters, the last one just graduated from college … Continue reading That Funny Feeling
We’ve not been doing too much other than eating pretty food. (This pretty plateful of scallops is courtesy of Chimayo. $$$ but oh-so-yummmmm.) Strolling the streets. Took a very relaxing train ride. Got robbed. The Heber train ride is a mosey-on-a-train. The rocking motion and the soft breeze can cause sleep. Just sayin.’ We went … Continue reading Park City, UT
Plans Change But Oh My God… …we went to one of my favorite places in the whole world. Fishing didn’t happen. Fishing happening tomorrow. I had the migraine headache from hell and at 5:30 this morning, I was a puddle of pitiful woe. But I got better… thanks to fistfuls of Advil and lots of … Continue reading The Maroon Bells
Tomorrow, we’re fishing again. Jeff, our teacher/guide, will be taking us somewhere to catch some small mouth bass. I know, I know, we should be catching trout, right? But Mr. Al has a love affair with bass catching and I’m not one to judge since catching anything at this point will be a major event … Continue reading Chillaxin’ In Colorado
Mr. Al and I had the best time. We learned so much and are now fairly able to fish on our own. I say fairly because you need to just practice and fish and make goofy mistakes before you can really say you’re any good. Jeff Lyon was our instructor. He’s been teaching for five … Continue reading Orvis Fly Fishing School, Class Dismissed
Up front, I used my iPhone for pics, so I need to wait until they hit my Cloud to post them. I.E…..I owe you peeps some pics. Beautiful day! Fishing class was fun! Probably because Mr. Al and I are better than the others, so we felt kinda cool, I’ll admit it. Hey, I can … Continue reading Monday? Really? I must be on vacation!
If you’re looking for a town to be the same after more than 30 years, you’re going to be disappointed. If you’re looking for a certain area to help jog your 30-year memories, you’re going to be disappointed, too. I’m sure a strip mall or two will be blocking the view you remembered. But, if … Continue reading Hello, Colorado. Long Time No See
I think I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Suffice it to say, we did travel HWY 50 and it wasn’t as lonely as some of the other roads we came upon. Although it took twice as long, I’m so glad we got off I-80, because there are some lovely places…especially along the Ruby Mountains. … Continue reading Lonely Roads
It’s the end of May and the weather is already beginning to heat up in the high desert. But, since we’re from Fog Land, the low 80s is hot to us. And it’s dry, too. Crunchy, dusty dry with a warm wind that blows pretty steadily. We arrived around 3:00pm and had just enough time … Continue reading Welcome to Elko
Not a bad day today. This is a picture of me, happily driving my fabulous car that I love driving. Mr. Al was navigator as his broken hand was ouchie. We arrived in Reno close to Happy Hour, of which I will happily partake as soon as I’ve finished my narration thus far. … Continue reading Thus Beginneth Our Road Tripeth
