A FEW RV THINGS FINALLY RESOLVED, KELLY’S GRANDS, AND A RIDICULOUSLY HOT DAY

KELLY’S GRANDSON KAI LOOKING FOR FROGS IN OUR FROG POND THIS MORNING

We've had another flip-flop of plans regarding the selling of our Motorhome and the purchase of a smaller one.  Kelly has decided it would be better to keep the rig we have and I do agree with her but where our future RV plans are now I have no idea. Best for me not to even think about it anymore.

AREA WHEAT FIELDS ARE RIPENING

THERE ARE BIG ROLLED BALES OF HAY WRAPPED UP THERE IN THAT PLASTIC

Most accurate way to describe our weather today is hot-hot-hot and yukky-yukky-yukky.  Not nice to be outside, well at least for me it isn't.  With old Sol climbing steadily into Saturday morning's lazy hazy sky Pheebs and I ventured out.  Actually the Sun is stationary and doesn't rise.  It is the Earth that moves and rotates downwards giving the elusion of the Sun rising.  Well that’s what a little green space Alien once told me anyway.

CORNS A GROWING

AND FARMERS ARE BUSY SPRAYING FOR WEEDS

Pheebs and I drove ourselves on over to the Hullett Marsh.  After washing the Jeep Saturday it was needing a fresh new coating of dust so that is just what it got.  Drove slowly into the Marsh  along a dusty gravel road and the Deer Flies were flying right alongside waiting for us to stop and get out.  We didn’t.  Bordering the marsh is what I assume to be an old tumble down wooden shack of a church with an accompanying cemetery beside it.  Bit of a breeze blowing through there so no Deer Flies and we were able to get out for a leg stretch and some photos.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN OLD SCHOOL HOUSE AT ONE TIME TOO

AND YES THAT IS AN OLD OUTHOUSE TO THE LEFT

THE ACCOMPANYING CEMETERY

 

With the morning quickly heating up, my skin  sticking to itself, and Pheebs tongue dragging on the ground we hopped back into the Jeep and headed for home.  On cold days we sometimes drive around with Pheebs window down and the heater on but today it was the her window down with the A/C on.  Works great.

FIELDS AND FIELDS OF WHEAT

I LIKED THE FOUR WHITE HORSES ON THE RED BARN DOORS

AFTER A HEAVY DAYS WORK IN THE FIELDS THIS OLD TRACTOR RESTS IN THE COOL SHADE OF A TOWERING MAPLE TREE

Kelly’s son Ben and his two boys Darion and Kai stopped in about 11:30 on their way to the beach about a mile and a half or so west of us.  Because of the humidity Ben’s wife Bri decided not to come so Ben and the boys decided to head home after spending some time at the beach.  In this humidity even with A/C running in the rig it can still be on the warm side with four people.  We understood Bri not coming and their decision not to do an overnighter in the Motorhome.

KAI AND DARION AT OUR HOUSE TODAY FOR A SHORT VISIT….OH AND THEY BROUGHT THEIR DAD WITH THEM TOO

YES WE HAD SOME INTREPID FROG HUNTERS AT OUR HOUSE TODAY

     

KELLY POINTS OUT THE FROGS IN THE POND

TRYING OUT KELLY’S FOREST CHAIR

‘WOW WHAT BIG LEAVES YOU HAVE HERE GRAMMA’…..’CALL ME GRAMMA AGAIN AND YOU’LL BE GETTING ANOTHER BACK HANDER’   JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING

AND THAT’S KELLY’S YOUNGEST SON BEN BACK THERE

‘HIGH FIVE GRAMMA’

DARION AND KAI HEAD OFF DOWN ONE OF OUR JUNGLE PATHS

OH-OH ARE THEY LOST

NOPE HERE COMES ONE OF THEM NOW

AND HERE COMES DARION SO THEY ARE BOTH ACCOUNTED FOR

In the first bunch of years in our RV travels we always looked forward to heading back to the Southwest every Fall but the last couple years we have had problems between us deciding not only when to go but do we really want to go.  Of course I’ve always been the one pushing harder to go and to go earlier and see more things.  But not so much this year.  This past Spring’s homeward trek really did both of us in and by the time we finally stumbled into our driveway here at home we were both vowing never to do that again.  Of course that was nearly four months ago now and that was then.  Kelly’s still feeling a bit that way and I’m beginning to feel a little less that way.  This afternoon we had us a sit down talk about future travels so here is the latest hot off the press.  As mentioned earlier in the post we have decided to keep our Motorhome and the  shaky Jell-O plans nailed to the tree right now are that we will once again head for New Mexico, Arizona, and California.  Of course don’t make any bets on that because you know what we’re like but it at least gives me some encouragement and time to put my thinking cap on and try to come up with some ideas on how we can make our winter travels better.  We need to change things up and do things interestingly different.  I see this afternoon’s talk as finally a step forward.  We’re not down and out just yet folks:))

A SPOT IN THE HULLETT MARSH WHERE ALL THE DEER FLIES SURROUNDED THE JEEP AND DEMANDED OUR SURRENDER

Never ventured out of the house all afternoon.  Why step out the door and turn into a clammy mess when it’s so comfortably cool in the house.  A no brainer for sure.  In fact it was so hot out there today it was just ridiculous!!!!

GROANER’S CORNER:((  At 8 p.m. one night, a pilot who had run out of fuel made an emergency landing at a top-secret government base. He was quickly surrounded by security and taken inside to be interrogated. The interrogation was grueling because they wanted to make sure it was an unplanned landing and he was not a spy.
The interrogation lasted all night. At 6 a.m. they refueled his plane and let him go with his promise never to return. Four hours later he returned and landed again.  Security met him on the runway. They asked him why he had come back.  'I know I promised never to return but I brought my wife and now you have to tell her where I was all night...'

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of the state capitals of the United States. She proudly announced, "go ahead, ask me any of the capitals, I know all of them."A red head said, "O.K., what's the capital of Wyoming?" The blonde replied, "Oh, that's easy, 'W'."

All Bill asked for was a little good-night kiss, but Anne haughtily rebuffed him with, "I don't do that sort of thing on my first date!"  "Well," Bill replied with sarcasm, "how about on your last date?"
