1700 Miles of Pure Fun

Our Summer Fun 

began last week.

We have planned 1700 miles

of pure fun. 

Were visiting the Ranch at the end of 

"the bumpy road"first.

The ranch of my childhood is truly what you would picture 

in a country magazine.

An orchard for climbing. Fields for exploring.

Ponds for wadding. Chickens and Ducks to feed.

Four wheelers to drive and a shooting range for guns.

The minute we hit the drive everyone

 in the car started screaming in delight.

Our week at the Ranch was

restoring for me. The smell of Russian Olive Trees mixed

with the smell of alfalfa and dirt remind me

of my childhood. My father turns 80 this month. We celebrate

him and his life. What a great guy!

 I love you dad.

My mother surprised the kids with a DVD

they had never seen, Anne of Green Gables.

We were hooked (even Easton). We watched a disc every evening.

I recommend a movie marathon this summer.

Next Stop, Las Vegas.

I'm sure it will be a PG 14 visit.  Good thing it's just a short stop on

our way to the main attraction....

CALIFORNIA. We have missed you.
