We are sitting at a campground just outside of Zion National Park. We are sitting at a picnic table and the sun is shining on the red red red rock up to the west. The scene is just spectacular. We are finding out that we perhaps planned too much travel and too little looking!! We have seen just unbelievable sights but mostly from the car. Plan to travel to Grand Canyon tomorrow and stay there for 2 days. Maybe just enough time to catch our breath. So far the national parks have been Teddy R, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Bryce and now Zion.
We enjoyed our time with sister Joan and hubby Ron. Saw the copper mine which is HUGE and drove around the temple. They have this cute apt but so want a double wide home of their own. They have done so much for their kids and now at the age of 70 maybe a bit behind on things they would like to do. BUT of course we all would give our all for our kids.
I have nothing to say on this next subject but the byline in my mind and heart is "secrets of the heart". I know we all have them and some are good, some are not so good, some to be shared at the right time and some never to be shared. For me so much has happened in the last few years, some so sad,some so difficult, some joyful but for me now--traveling the US with Terry at my side I feel so blessed and am so happy. Like I said, "secrets of the heart", we all have them.
We are planning to arrive at a high school friend's home Monday and we think that will be so fun. From there will journey to Waco TX to see Terry's son Brian and then it will be off along the gulf coast.
So far we are getting 20+ MPG as we pull the camper and I can not figure that out as that is much higher than I had figured. And in this day and age I can say we are lucky to have not had to pay $4 for gas yet!! I think we are at about the 2300 mile mark on the trip. I drive most of the time but wouldn't you know when we hit the 2000 mile mark Terry had her hand on the wheel. I don't know why she has so much fun?
As I sign off the sky above the mountain peaks is blue, pink, yellow and just like a master piece of our wonderful God.
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
Having a good time are you? Glad to hear it! Zion National Park is beautiful and I'd love to go there again. Supposedly some of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was filmed there. At least that's what I was told. I saw the little house where the bicycle scene was filmed. Guess you left MN just in time. Snow in ND which is entirely too early! Played golf today in shorts and that's how I like it. Drop in temps tonight though so tomorrow only in high 50's, not good. Too early. Better put the top up on my car! Guess we may have a real winter this year. Keep enjoying your travels. Love, Helen
