BIRTHDAY NUMER 92

FIRST OF ALL  I’D LIKE TO APOLIGIZE FOR NOT BLOGGING.  IT’S A COMBINATION OF EXCUSES INCLUDING ‘PUTER PROBLEMS, NOTHING GOING ON, AND THEN VACATION WHEN WE LEFT THE COMPUTER HOME. THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU THAT E-MAILED AND CALLED TO CHECK ON US. WE’RE BOTH FINE.

WE FLEW HOME TO WISCONSIN ON MAY 7TH FOR MARY’S MOTHERS 92AND BIRTHDAY. UNCLE HANS AND HEATHER HAD BEEN SENDING US WEATHER REPORTS AND SNOWY BLOG PICTURES PRIOR TO OUR TRIP. JUST NORTH OF ROCHESTER, MN ON A PIT STOP, I SNAPPED THIS PICTURE OF THE LATE SPRING IN THE MIDWEST.

 

WE ARRIVED ON THE BIRTHDAY AND HERE IS MARY AND HER MOM AT 92 YEARS YOUNG.

 

WE SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS IN MT. HOPE AND HAD OUR FILL OF HOME-A-GINS FRIED FOOD. MARY ENJOYED MOWING THE LAWN, SOMETHING YOU NEVER DO ON THE LOWER MOHAVE DESERT. MARY GOT TO VISIT WITH A LOT OF OLD FRIENDS INCLUDING  HER BROTHER BILLY, AND LIFE LONG GIRLFRIEND LINDA.

NEXT ON THE SIX DAY WHISTLE STOP ROADTRIP IS PRAIRE DU CHEIN.
