Proof of aliens!

More on the Limousine Ranch
25 августа 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Someone commented on an earlier post that it was a good thing we did not explore the most intriguing Limousine Ranch that we passed. They thought it was mating season for limousines, and they hearЧитать далее
Annanaomi SamsSo, there really are limousin cattle, or limosine cattle, as they are referred to in France. I wouldn't want to tangle with one of these either. They are huge!
Carole Cassidy. That was me with the mating season quip Gordon. Guess you can tell how my mind always goes straight toward the gutter, even when it does mange to avoid tumbling in head first.
ПутешественникI very much appreciated your sage warning, and am happy to know who to credit it to. It also gave me a reason to make the follow up post. 😃

How come we get the littlest tree in the campground?

The trailer tires are wearing quickly. I had hoped that a new axle would fix the problem and had hoped we could make it to Vancouver on the old tires, but nope.
That was Gordon with the bare bonesЧитать далее

We’re headed into the Cascade mountains. And the clouds. Just ahead of the rain.

Doing our part to exhaust the little charges so they will retire peaceably at bedtime. They were moving too fast to really get a good shot of the exhausting part. What you see is more along the linesЧитать далее
I hope Gordon went WHEEEEEE as the girls came down the slide. He had lots of manly practice.
ПутешественникWheeeeee has been kind of the watchword of the holiday weekend. He had to hobble out of bed this morning.

Yosem, being a chip off the old block, is preparing lamb in garlic lemon honey rub with roast potatoes. He apparently butchered the lamb himself with Vanessa’s help. They are sitting pretty in caseЧитать далее
