Arrived in Austin

We arrived safely in Austin about 4:30... played with Kaylee, a lot! Really growing and jabbers non-stop, even can pick up a few words, from time to time... Grandpa is in her vocabulary, and she uses it regularly. What more could we want?!?!? ;-)

Alex, his mom, Arrion, and Grandma talking Animal Crossing,Pitfall, Star Wars, etc. I showed him some Farm Town, and he was liked planting crops and selling things... ;-)

It was a very good day! ;-)

Thanks for a great extended weekend!

A big thank you to Larry and Annette, above at the Saturday Entrada Event, for a great extended Memorial Day Weekend at their home and nearby territory we visited in Utah for nearly a week. A few of the activities have been included in earlier posts.

We left early this morning, and twelve hours later are in Roswell, NM, for the night at the Holiday Inn Express. On to Austin on Thursday. Look forward to seeing you, Arrion, Ben, Alex and Kaylee.

It was a very good day! ;-)

It rarely rains in Utah...

We seem to have a direct effect on the weather in Utah when we arrive. It has rained every day we have been here - and, it rarely rains in this part of Utah! Average annual precipitation (rain/snow) in Wayne County is 7-8 inches!

Above, Annette has her camera out to capture the Rainbow, as well. We've had a great visit - but doing some things a little different than we originally thought. Went over to the Capital Reef Visitor's Center, yesterday, took picnic stuff, for example. By the time we got there, it was too wet to picnic, so did some sight-seeing, watched the good film in the visitor center, and returned to the house for our "picnic!"

It was a very good day! ;-)

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! ;-)
