Road Trip!

Jolene and I headed off for St. George and a "Beach Boy concert.
The weather was cool and so was the concert. All those surfin tunes brought back great memories. Of course there were a whole bunch of old people in the audience, I wonder where they came from, why they would like the same kind of music that I do?

After staying in St. George we headed south to Mesquite and heard about a Nevada state park called "Valley of Fire". Really neat petroglyphs that you could walk up to, they were everywhere.

When we got on the freeway to start home there was none other than Willie Nelson trying to hitch a ride. We really got a kick out of the truck that passed us and there was "Willie" riding in the back.

Great day! St. George has an In-N-Out Burger, life doesn't get any better. We ended the trip on a high note!

Whew!

Carin and Aly have inspired me to add a "Ticker" to my blog. This also means a commitment of walking, biking or running the distance to Disneyland. WHAT HAVE I DONE??
It is going to take forever to do this, I am no spring chicken, I figure at the rate I do anything, well I don't even want to think about it.
So... I need all the help I can get, any encouragement will be appreciated.

On a lighter note, I have decided to post a recipe now and again, you will see it on the sidebar. I love recipes, I love to read them, try them and collect them. I have made the bread recipe several times and it is a good one. If you have tried making whole wheat bread and it tastes a lot like a cardboard box, you will like this one.

Tucker, kitty cat

I thought I would take a few cute pictures of Tucker, easier said than done. It is really hard to get him to pose and smile for the camera.

He is a very busy kitty cat. He doesn't like me to close the door on him (even in the bathroom) I tried to get a picture of his paw as he snaked it under the door trying to find out if I am in there or not but I do not have a speed shutter on the camera. This last winter was such a long cold snowy time and I have been on a first name basis with my heating pad. Well, Tucker decided that was a nifty thing and we would end up fighting over who got to lay on, we compromised and shared the heating pad until he would get the best of me and end up with the whole heating pad.

This is really his house but he does allow me to stay here because I clean the litter box and feed him tuna. I also vacuum a spare cat every week off the floor, couches,tables, walls...you name it there is cat hair on it. What we don't do for those we love. As I write this blog he is draped across my legs purring because I wouldn't let him crawl on top of the keyboard (it is really hard to type with a cat on the keys).

I could go on and on with kitty stories as Aly can attest to, these are just a few, there may be more at a later time, I'm sure.

Tucker kitty cat you are a special part of my life.
