Thanks, readers

I do have a correction to make of my last blog...Dick (husband) was the first to catch my "error" and he subtly said "that is pretty amazing that the birds would be flying South this time of year"! So now we ALL know I am a little directionally challenged!! I do a little better with right/left but not much! Sad to say, both of our daughters have inherited their mother's ability! And here we have a male in the family who amazes everyone with being the one who always know which direction is which!!!

Andrea, I am looking forward to having your 3Day info to put on here. I sent out your email letter to many people and hope they will respond. I just forwarded you a couple that I have already heard from.

I really like posting pictures so I think I will just randomly try to post one on each blog! Here are a couple more from the 900 plus!! Now, you must know also that probably at least 75 % of the pictures I take when traveling are taken from a moving car...then about 15% while walking; about 5% at rest stops; and the last 5% are actually planned! Many of the pictures I take at rest stops are really some of my best...I am thinking of publishing a book..."Rest Stops Across America". Catchy title, huh?

Snow storm in Southern Arizona: a rare shot of cactii and snow! (taken at a rest stop!)

I was fascinated by these green mountains in California. And there were cattle grazing on them! They really had to dig in their hooves to keep from tipping over! (Anyone ever been cow tipping?)
