Class is Out



You know, I can't even say that I don't like Kanye, I just don't get
this behavior.  Of course, MTV must condone it because they let
it happen and put up this video immediately with an ad.  

In the course of this world, this is just one minor incident.  But haven't you noticed the lack of respect that goes on world wide?

Who Let the.......

I would love to have this guy in my front yard.
I am sure that Julie will recognize this gorilla.
I wonder what there motto is for selling cars?

Just where are those tethered? Ouch!

By the Light of the Silvery Moon

Here is my Honda with new paddle tires
We're taking a break in the shade.

See the orange moon?
Our trip to Little Sahara turned out great. We had a decent little three bedroom house to stay and I made Ree's rib eye steak recipe with onion/blue cheese sauce. I grilled hamburgers the next day. We had pancakes for breakfast one morning and the next morning we went to a cafe for their buffet filled with good selections. I had to do a little extra cleaning on the bathroom but the super cold air conditioning made up for it.
My husband and son and I rode all day and night. We were able to ride from the house to the dunes on our four-wheelers. On the way home we stopped in Enid and ate at El Chicos.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that my husband rolled his four-wheeler on Saturday night and I rolled my four-wheeler on Saturday. Boy, was that an experience! Both of us were fine, just surprised, but we were wearing our helmets. And on sand it is a soft landing. I actually just slipped off mine and it rolled over on top of me and then one more time before landing on its tires. I was in the middle of it where your leg is and there is just enough room for clearance. I remember thinking as it was on top of me that I hope it goes on over. And it did. My son came to my rescue immediately. I was trying to go up a really tall dune and decided at the last minute that I wasn't going to make it so I did the wrong thing- I turned sideways. Something you don't want to do at the top of a soft backside of a dune unless you are going fast and are turning on purpose and I suppose a lot more experienced at driving than me. I fell off and it turned over on me. It all happened quickly but it seemed longer. The four-wheeler didn't turn over immediately, it just hung there for a second and then it was on top of me for a second and then back off and on its wheels. I actually didn't mind the experience, of course mostly because I wasn't hurt but I don't want to do it again. Now anywhere else besides sand this would be much more dangerous.
All's well that ends well.

Little Sahara Dunes


We are heading to Little Sahara dunes for the Labor Day
week-end. We've got to try out our new Honda TRX 450.
It's a little hotter than our Honda Ranchers. You have to
shift it with a clutch. I haven't even tried it out yet. My son
or my husband will be driving it. I'll stick with my Rancher
and my new paddle tires. We're going to stay in a house we've
rented. I hope the house is clean and spider free! The last house
we stayed at had fiddlebacks. One house we reserved was so bad
we had to decline and stay at the fiddleback house. The house
we didn't stay at was a nightmare on Park Avenue. The banker's
daughter's house from 1904. It was the most run down house
I have ever seen. The wind was blowing in from every window
and it was 104 degrees outside with one window unit (swamp cooler).
It had an upstairs that you could not go in to but you could see the wind
blowing the curtains above the living room ceiling. It was very creepy.
It had a locked door to the stairs and a window that someone had broken
beside the stairs. The broken place was covered with a tapestry and
the breeze was blowing it too. I wondered if there was some homeless
person up there. We didn't stay around long enough to find out.

Call It Love

We've had our share of ups and downs:  
I'm still going to "Call it Love."
Just remember I love you.  We were born in the time of
great songs.  Nothing like the 70's.  



When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
The days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feeling you were born to lose
Staring at your ceiling thinking of your blues

When there's so much trouble that you wanna cry
The world has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting, friends have let you down

Just remember I love you and it'll be alright
Just remember I love you more than I can say
Maybe then your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down so low
Start to wonder, but you never know
When it feels like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come calling at the break of dawn
Rain keeps falling, but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like crying but the tears won't come
When your dreams are dying, when you're on the run

Just remember I love you and it'll be alright
Just remember I love you more than I can say
Just remember I love you and it'll be alright
It'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright, well it'll be alright

The Last King of Scotland

James McAvoy



While watching the movie, "The Last King of Scotland," I noticed just how familar looking the good Scottish doctor appeared. Who did he remind me of? Bossy's son!

It was a very good movie. I hope Bossy approves of the comparison. They are both great looking guys.

Grandpa

Isn't she precious?
Guess who came to dinner? Lola Abigail: Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful?

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?

Well, Colorado, I'm telling you now!
Our vehicle above traveling on the Million Dollar Highway.
O Beautiful, for spacious skies! For purple mountains majesties!
We met a shepherd and his 2,300 sheep and three dogs along the way.
The above is where we stopped to decide if we needed to turn around before the
going got any rougher. Just so happened I backed into a bear cave. Don't know
if she was at home!
The abandoned silver and gold mines of Colorado. There's gold in them hills!
Untrailering for the day!
We ate our lunch every day on the mountain. Nothing ever tasted so good!
Relaxing after a long drive. The wildflowers were in bloom everywhere! I love you, Colorado. I can't wait to return.

Mobile

Mobile in the Palisades of Cimarron Canyon, New Mexico from Junebug57 on Vimeo.

This is the reason I didn't take a photo of the Palisades. I was videoing it. I did not even realize that I had captured it on video.

Palisades of Cimarron Canyon New Mexico

Mountains thrill me. I could so live near mountains! These are the Palisades of Cimarron Canyon in New Mexico. I borrowed the first two photos from Towanda of Santa Fe. I don't know how I actually missed photographing these as we were driving by. I think I was so in awe I forgot until it was too late.
If you enlarge the photo below you can read the historic marker.

I truly loved the scenery starting in New Mexico and all the way to Colorado. It was a feast for the eyes.
