Snow Mountain early this morning
We start a real day of work today. Not many guests here yet so the work load is light. We have been busy making our little corner of the ranch our own and getting the campground ready for a heavier number of guests. We have 3 campers here at the moment.

Ethan goes to the ballgame
He looks as though he has had enough of the ballgame. He was a very good boy however.
Trip to SMR
Taken near Laramie WY through the window of the MoHo.
We left Atlantic IA on Wednesday and drove 455 miles to Sidney NE. That is a big day for us. Then we got an early start this morning due to the time change and arrived at SMR at 1:00 this afternoon. The entire trip from Atlantic is 736 miles.
Friends Donn and Peggy Gordon happened to be in the area so we were lucky enough to see them shortly after arrival. Peggy brought us a couple of gifts and one of them was a snow globe golfball and tee. It is a game to get the ball setting on the tee. We have been unable to do so thus far but if we ever do I will take a picture and post it.
We did run into a bit of snow high in the mountains and near the end of our trip. Also saw a baby moose but didn't get a picture.

Jigs Pictures
Mickey is looking over the sculpture in Perry Iowa. She is nearly "lost" in it.
Pictures taken before and after the group shot were clear but the group shot of the jigs group is blurry. Some kind of weird kinetic energy.

A bit of a Rant
We are at the kids in Boone. They are off kayaking and we are holding down the fort. They have basic cable TV and there is nothing there but ads!! It seems TV has gone the way of magazines. More Ads than content. I am not a TV addict and if it were up to me we would get rid of the sattelite and work off antenna when and if we could. Some day when the old guy is cussing about the lack of content I will convince him to let me make the call. Heeheehee
I think we would be amazed at how much more active and varied our life would be.

With the kids...
We have spent the weekend with sons Gary and Jason and families. First time in a long time we have been with more than one son at a time. It has been much, much fun and a perfect kick off for our trip to Snow Mountain Ranch on Tuesday.
Yesterday was a meeting of J.I.G.'S for me. J.I.G.'S stands for Jefferson Iowa Girls.We all went to school together. A few years ago we started meeting for lunch on a semi-regular basis. I was able to attend the gathering on Sunday at the Hotel Pattee in Perry Iowa. The brunch and the conversation were wonderful. There were 9 of us in attendance. I will post a picture later as I am placing this post from a computer not my own.
