Thursday, September 2

The days are dwindling that I will be able to ride the Raccoon River Valley Trail so I took full advantage of the wonderful weather and rode to Cooper yesterday and today. I love the new bike. I average about 11.5 MPH which isn't real fast but I get there. I am a turtle; it may take me a long time to get there but I can go quite a ways. It takes me an hour and a half to go to Cooper and return...that is if I do not stop to take photos. Sometimes I am compelled to stop. I see it and think, the light, the color and the shot as a whole will never be here in exactly this way again. That stops me. From here we will be going to Altoona IA for a week but before that we are going to see the Missouri kids over Labor Day weekend. We will leave the RV in Jefferson until our rent is up on the 7th and then return and move ourselves down to the Adventureland Campground in Altoona. Along about the 14th we will return to Peculiar MO and stay in that park for a month before meandering south. Continuing to "Keep Movin' On".:-) Posted by Hello

I liked this photo well enough to make it wallpaper on my desktop. Purple, yellow, blue and green! Posted by Hello
