Time for a makeover and a theme

Here it is February and I've only done three posts for the new year.  To be honest I was contemplating closing the blog. My brother, Yogi, is my only loyal follower, or at least the only one who bothers to leave comments.  I know I have some readers because they will mention something from my blog when I see them in person or talk to them on the phone.  Why they don't leave comments is beyond me--I always tell Irv it's a lack of manners.  :)

I thought I'd turn my blog into a book.  I've been blogging for over 10 years now and it's pretty much a journal of the highs and lows in life.  The blog is too big to do one big book so I'd have to do a book for each year at about $65-$100 per year.  A healthy investment for something that only I would want to read.  For that reason I decided to keep the blog active.

I've been thinking and thinking about a theme for my blog.  I've always jumped from subject to subject with no real direction or theme.  So after lots of thought I've decided to chronicle the year I turn 60 and all the crazy stuff that comes with getting older.

I'll start by saying "how the hell am I about to be 60 years old?"  No other birthday has bothered me before, but this one is different.  Sixty seems like the dividing line between being able to convince yourself that you're not old yet and being elderly and near death. 

I will say that my 50's were great and I expect my 60's to be even better. 

So stay tuned...we'll see where this journey takes us.

According to Stanford Medical, It's really the one and ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 19 kilos lighter than we do.

(And actually, it is not related to genetics or some secret diet and absolutely EVERYTHING around "how" they are eating.)

P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

Skywatch Friday: A little close for comfort

Image
We had a fire out here on the eastern plains of Colorado last week.  I kept getting reports on the fire's location on my cell phone while I was at work.  Then a warning popped up that let me know it was time to hit the road and go home to prepare to evacuate the critters. When we initially got home it was still a decent distance away. Within 30 minutes it had come up over the ridge and flames were visible. The winds were gusting 45 to 50 mph.  It was a fast moving fire that burned 5,000 acres in only four hours.  Then the most amazing thing happened--the winds died down and the firefighters got in under control by 8:15 that night.  Thank you, Lord! Have you ever had to stand in your house and wonder what you should take out with you?  There were only two things I could think of...1) my critters and 2) my passport so I could still go to Europe next month.  Irv and I agreed that we need to get things organized so we can just grab a box...

Skywatch Friday: Upper and Lower Falls

Image
Yesterday I got to visit the recently completed Uncle Tom's Overlook along the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. This is the first really good look I've ever had at the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River. These falls are almost as good as the Lower Falls. After leaving the Upper Falls you go downstream for a mile or so to.... ...Artist's Point which has the very best view of the Lower Falls (in my opinion).  In this location the view is perfect, so perfect that it look like a painting. This is just one of the features of this Park that make it my heart and soul.   Linking with Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday: Wild Horses!

Image
 The Salt River wild horses have been eluding us since we arrived in Arizona several weeks ago so today we went in search of them again. This time we started at the Coon Bluff Recreation Area.  First we went one way down the river, but soon had to turn back because we didn't bring any rock climbing gear. Then we turned around and went the other direction. The water in the river was crystal clear, but no sign of fish or horses. There are times when I really miss my dad especially when I want to know what kind of tree I'm looking at.  This one has something that resembles Spanish moss hanging down.  What is it? This riparian area that surrounds the river has all kinds of wildlife.  Today we saw theses white egrets. This gray heron was also hanging out in the distance. We met a guy carrying all kinds of photographic equipment and he said we needed to go about a quarter of a mile further down the river to find a spot where the horses cross every afternoon around 5:0...
