Thunderstorm in the CO Mountains


Woke up this morning and put on a pair of shorts. After walking Maggie around the RV park, I promptly changed to long britches then Billy and I set out to find a place to have the oil changed in the truck. Seems like we have passed Jiffy Lubes for a week now, but it took us 30 minutes or more to find one when we needed it. After the oil change we were prepared to go hiking in Red Rock Canyon for real this time. We took a long look at the angry clouds hovering over the mountains and thankfully decided it was a bad idea. One heck of a thunderstorm blew in about the time we returned to the camper. I had a visual of Billy, Maggie and I hunkering down under a red rock for a LONG time. We will try again tomorrow. The thunder was magnificent as it echoed off the sides of the mountains.

We have noticed that folks traveling in their RV's like to travel on Mondays. Most of the park packed up and moved this AM, and we have a new crop moving in. Maggie and I like to walk around the park and look at the "yard art" that folks display. Pink flamingos, decorative hanging lights, whirly giggies, all sorts of flags, signs, and doggy statues. We really don't display yard art except to Billy's dismay I tote around a live Basil plant. It smells so good. We have an outside rug and our chairs, but I don't put the rug down unless it is necessary. Too much trouble when it gets wet.

Thanks for stopping in......"Life is Good Today!"

  1. Hey, you two! Your photos are absolutely tops! And, Jane, the "blow by blow" is worthy of a Pulitzer. Glad you're having fun, despite......mess. I guaran-freaking-tee: our mess is better'n yours!

    Be safe. Love, Bruce and Fran

  2. Bruce, Billy bought EVERYTHING on the "plumber" isle at Home Depot. He came wandering out of the store with full bag of "supplies" and was saying "I guarantee you that it will NEVER leak again." I heard him spray, spread, spatula, and then ask for fingernail polish remover. It's been two days and no leak.
