IT’S ABOUT TIME MARCH 2015

 

 

I guess I really should say something new on this, so I will try and think up some things.

It's been a couple years so you know us old people forget real easy.

First (maybe) we went to Bear Dam Lake for some fishing and just to get away from home. Chuck caught the only fish, which was just big enough for bait!! The girls got to run loose tho cause we were at the end of the lake so they liked that. Of course, it rained a lot while we were there. So no pictures.

We then went to Bill Evans Lake (my favorite).  They were having 2 bass tournaments so that kinda messed up the fishing, but Chuck had a lot of fun flying his quad copter !!  Great, some pictures!!

These pictures were taken taken with a FPV camera on his quad copter.  Pretty neat uh!!!  I didn’t catch any fish but it was nice just being out .  Sometimes I fished and sometimes I read.  So enjoyable!!

Then there’s Carlsbad, NM.  Oh, yes.  To visit long time friends, Andy & Dena Graham.  We had such a good time.  Andy was the drummer for Johnny.  Well, he was just learning, but turned into one hellava drummer.  Then he started playing the mandolin and in about 7 yrs. he’s now a great mandolin player.  Johnny helped him learn to sing,  how to pick the song that fit him.  It worked.  Dena plays rhythm on the guitar and man you can dance to her playing.  And she has the most  beautiful  voice.  They make a wonderful duo!0601141957a

We went to all the places they were playing and boy, did we hear some awesome music.  Country, of course.

We all went to the Caverns (3rd time for me) 1st for Chuck!  Here’s some  pics!

We also did some geocaching.  For those that don’t know about this, it’s where you use those million $ satellites up there and put out things (weatherproof) in places and other people have to find them using a GPS.

This is just one cache.  It was under the belly.  Pretty neat uh!!!  Some are big and some are tiny.  It’s fun and you get a little exercise, too.

Then I got in touch with some of my classmates.  So good to hear from them after all these years.  Tragically, one had a stroke and passed away.  It’s still hard to accept.

Then, at the same time, my sister. Loretta, died, also.  Only that was a lot worse and I can honestly say, she didn’t have to.  But her “”religion””? stopped her from getting a blood transfusion.  Real Christians,HUH?

We did a little 4 wheeling just riding and also doing the caches.
