Day 106, "Every picture(s) have a story"



The national parks in the west and south west are wonderful.  In the fall of 2013 Terry and I took a 6 week trip and took in MANY of the parks.  Here are just a few.  In Kings Canyon the trees are amazing.  The temp got up to 116 as we drove through Death Valley.  We could have spent a lot more time looking at the trees in Joshua Tree.  In Saguaro there was a sign that the park was closed as we came up to it.  The door to the visitor center was open so we went in.  They said there had been a storm and had to close the park but IF we would unhitch our camper we could drive through.  IF we did we should be careful of fallen branches etc on the road.  We did drive through and it was no problem.  There is now a new national park, as of last year, so we will have to stop at the Arch in St. Louis to take that in.  I would not mind visiting all of the parks again.  They truly are a national treasure.  

Tennis yesterday was fun even though Rich and I lost on court #1.  The team we lost to was very good and it was fun to play against them.  I am sure brother Dave would be happy with my attitude!  We won on court 2 and lost on court 3.  I felt we should have won court 3 but no deal.  I will be playing again in the 70+ league next Tuesday and then my team is away on Wednesday for another tough match.  I have put myself on court #3 next week as I am mixing up some guys.

No tennis today and it is perhaps a good rest for the body.  

Terry and I are going to Les Mis on Sunday.  Another step towards culture I think!  There was a review in the paper today and it sounds good.  Again I would probably be more at home going to a tennis match or ball game BUT I am looking forward to it and perhaps, just perhaps I can do another catch up on this "being a person who is well rounded" thing.  Don't read into the well rounded as in the waist line either!

I did enjoy my FP but then I always do.  I need to go to the post office and then a friend is picking me up for lunch so need to get going.
