QUIET DAY HERE SO LET'S GO CHECK OUT AN OLD AUTHENTIC GHOST TOWN SALOON

AN EARLY WINTER'S MORN

Well here we are on day one of 2020 with already less than three hundred and sixty five days to 2021.  My oh my how time flies when it bogs down.  Onward and upward I say so let's get on with the New Year shall we.

ANOTHER PLEASANT EARLY MORNING JEEP RIDE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE

Another bleak looking day but Pheebs and I saddled up Libby anyway and rode ourselves to the Bannockburn Conservation Area about four or five miles east of us.  No cars in the parking lot so nobody there, bonus.  Protected in the forest from cold winter winds we had us a nice walk despite 28F temps.  Kept my hands in my pockets while walking.

BANNOCKBURN CONSERVATION AREA

IT'S WHEEL CHAIR AND SCOOTER ACCESSIBLE IN HERE FURRY BUT YOUR GONNA HAVE TO PUT SOME SNOW TIRES ON YOUR RIG

My peanut butter of choice is Kraft's 'ONLY Peanuts' and yes the word only is capitalized on the jar.  It's an all natural peanut butter with peanuts only and that's why I like it.  No salt or sugar or other ingredients added.  Anytime I eat any other kind of popular peanut butter the very first thing I taste when I put it in my mouth is 'salt'.  Kraft now has out the same peanut butter with honey added so at the moment I am trying it out.  No complaints:))

Skies began to brighten by late morning and shortly after noon sunlight finally broke through the cloud cover.  Skies continued to clear and we ended up with a sunny afternoon.  Didn't take Pheebs and I long to get ourselves out for a walk in the sunshine.  Made my day.  By the way everybody.....Happy New Year to Y'all:))

AFTERNOON'S WALK AROUND OUR PARK'S POND

OH HOW I LOVE TO SEE THOSE BIG BLUE SKIES

SLIPPING CLOSER TO EARTH'S HORIZON THE LATE AFTERNOON SUN CASTS SHADOWS ACROSS CLUMPS OF SNOW ON THE GROUND

::An Archive Post::  For those of you who found Johnny Ringo's gravesite in my Tuesday night post you might like to see where it is rumored Johnny Ringo was last seen before his death.  And it was in a Saloon.  What's left of that Saloon is (or was) in the ghost town of Gleeson Arizona east of Tombstone and west of where Johnny Ringo's body was found.  Wyatt Erp was heard to say he was the one who shot Johnny Ringo but it's all still a big mystery as to what really happened.  We've been in Gleeson a few times and this particular day was February 14th 2009.  Here is my post for the day I stuck my camera up against a dust coated broken window and managed to get a few shots of inside the old tumble down derelict Saloon.  Today We Rambled Around In The Old Ghost Town Of Gleeson Arizona.  Be sure to check my photo album for that day to see more photos of Gleeson and that Saloon.  Gleeson - An Old Western Ghost Town.

AND BY GOLLY THERE'S THE SHADOW COWBOY HIMSELF

AND HIS SHADOW DOG TOO

::Al's Musical Favs:: Oh Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie by The Son's Of The Pioneers.  In keeping with Tuesday nights and tonight's 'An Archive Post' I give you my all time favorite version of this song.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full length mirror taking a hard look at herself. "You know," she says, "I look in the mirror and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, my boobs are barely above my waist, my butt is hanging out a mile. I've got fat legs and my arms are all flabby". She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself".  He thinks about it for a bit and then says, "Well... there's nothing wrong with your eyesight".

A man went to apply for a job. After filling out all of his applications, he waited anxiously for the outcome.  The employer read all his applications and said, "We have an opening for people like you."  "Oh, great," he said, "What is it?"  "It's called the door!"
