This guy was in our yard right by my feet as I was getting directions from Norm about cutting branches off our tree. The only reason I knew he was there, I heard him crawling around. I could have stepped on him! We think this is a bull snake about six feet long. From theContinue reading “ROAD TRIP PT. 2”

We took a road trip to Congress Arizona and than on to Mesa to bask in the sun and heat (plenty of both). It was a great time as we always look for different ways to go so we can see more of our country. This is Oak Creek Canyon on our way to CongressContinue reading “ROAD TRIP…”

This guy was not only huge, but good looking too. Leo kept calling this little horse a dog, but would not go near him, even though he let us rub his nose. Who would have thought a photo like this could be shot in Oklahoma. Just west of the Express Ranch, this very nice displayContinue reading “Big and Small…”

We visited the Express Ranch in Yukon, Oklahoma, located just north of Route 66. As soon as we arrive, Leo has to take a break from riding in his car seat to relax next to the barn.

Thanks to our friend Todd, we found this trail system with a parking lot right next to where our son Paul works. It was pretty much empty so we had it all to ourselves. Leo forgot to bring his hat, so Norm gave him her ball cap to use, but he had to give itContinue reading

The tire blew up and out away from the trailer. If someone would have been passing the truck, it could have been bad. A huge chunkContinue reading “5/1/07 No miles today”
