August 3, 2012

Bill was off to a “Dane start” this morning.  We pulled out of Chugwater at 5:45.  I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I got up, wrapped myself in a blanket, and did my “Squaw Woman” act while I was sitting in the front seat.

There were four camels in a field on the east side of the Interstate.  We also saw the same number of antelope as we drove along. 

Honk! Honk! Yahoo, Colorado!  The countryside was much greener than we have been seeing since we left Mississippi.  “Sippi” had a lot of rain and Colorado has been getting daily showers.  Water does wonders...usually!

Between Ft. Collins and Loveland there were six hot air balloons, floating along on a sunshiny day.

We arrived at Michelle’s at 8:00.  She was surprised we got there that early.  I don’t know why.  She knows how her dad is when he gets close to his destination.  Kind of like a horse heading for the barn.  There’s no stopping him.

Meredith and Dwaine brought the pups over at noon.  They stayed for about 30 minutes before she had to go back home to log in for work again.  They came back for a hamburger supper and Olympics watching.
