Boulder Anasazi Museum State Park

Annette took this nice photo of Bill and Nancy at the Anasazi Museum in Boulder. Note the nice background of Capitol Reef National Park, to the east, as well. Ate lunch at the Burr Trail Grill.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Blue Sage

The Blue Sage musical group entertained last night... see post yesterday. Mike Iverson is the lead on banjo/guitar and singing. His wife is on the Bass and sings some background. Currently, their daughter, Heather is on violin. Rob Ricks, on the right, joined the "Trio" for our performance, giving us "dual fiddles" - which have special songs that they do. Rob had been the violin for several years, but went off to Yale, to finish his MBA! Neat! Really good. He also sings great background on slow numbers as well.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Cowboy Music & Poetry Gathering

Saturday night, we attended the Cowboy Music & Poetry Gathering of the Entrada Institute - orginally scheduled for Torrey, but moved to the Bicknell Community Center because of the rain most of the day. After some fun and interesting opening acts, Blue Sage was the featured act. More on them, tomorrow.

Everyone wore western wear of some sort... I had taken my black leather hat for the occasion, Nancy had we neck wear. A good time was had by all!

It was a very good day! ;-)

Three weeks to R day

Drove up to Fish Lake on Friday, had a great lunch. Photo above, was up that way, on Thursday - a View Site along I-70, just before we turned south, past the Fish Lake area, actually. This photo view is looking north.

It was a very good day! ;-)

First day in Utah 21 May 2009

Drove 700 miles on Wednesday, to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, enroute to Boulder Mountain, near Teasdale, Utah, to visit Annette and Larry.

Arrived at house about 2 pm... relaxed on the deck. Here is Annette with nice view. [Only seem to be able to load one photo, at top only, tonight?!?!]

Sloppy Joes for supper... and deviled eggs! ... rest of evenings on four computers and Wii... Oh yes, angel food cake with fresh strawberries and cool whip!

It was a very good day! ;-)

4 Weeks to Retirement

Today was my last monthly meeting of the Flint Hills Tourism Coalition, Inc., in Wamego. Received very nice accolades for my service over the years, as leader the last two years.

Received a nice limestone block with logo on front and kind words on the back. First this has been done. Nice!

Heavy rain on the way back, bit of hail at suppertime, nothing dangerous - worst went around us, again.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Reception Photo

Thanks to Allen Walker, we have some nice photos from the reception last Friday. This one is especially nice, with brother Barry, our Endowed Chair of Finance, offering me a piece of cake, as Associate Dean of The Teacher's College, Ken Weaver, looks on. I'm pointing the photo of our family. Nancy listens attentively. ;-)

It was a very good day! ;-)
