We had a guest for breakfast
30 augustus 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
What a thrill. A hummingbird came by to see if he might like to join us for breakfast. I don't think he liked oatmeal.

Last night, a pack of coyotes serenaded us to sleep.

Recipe for mud races
1 september 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
First, you prepare a dirt raceway.

Then you get the fire department to make the raceway really muddy.

Add on some new friends, music and beer, and you've got yourself a good time.

Glad we brought our camping chairs along.Meer informatie

The last natural landmark on the Sante Fe trail, the mountain top resembles the canvas covering of a covered wagon

Black Jack Ketchum
2 september 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
My great grandfather was a Methodist preacher and planted churches in the New Mexico territory before it became a state.

I was thrilled to visit Clayton, New Mexico, to hear stories I remembered from my grandmother.

One of the most memorable is that my grandfather, James Graham Harshaw, officiated at the last hanging in New Mexico. There hadn't been a hanging for a while and the rope wasn't calibrated properly. The result was that, instead of breaking his neck, Black Jack Ketchum lost his head.

My great grandfather is the second on the left who is wearing a long topcoat. The bearded man on the right is the sheriff, who didn't believe Ketchum was guilty and so wouldn't take part.Meer informatie

Gerda Eklund
4 september 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
When my great grandmother was living in Clayton, New Mexico as a preacher's wife, she became fast friends with Gerda Eklund, whose husband owned the Eklund Hotel and saloon.

Gerda Eklund was known as a great beauty and my great grandmother, Myrta, was so inspired by her that she named my grandmother Gerda after her.Meer informatie

Family time
7 september 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌬 25 °C
Watching the big game with my brother and his wife in Fredericksburg, Texas. I don't think I've watched a football game for 40 years.

Don't mind the hand gesture. That just means "Hook 'em, horns" for the Texas Longhorns. They're playing against the Michigan Wolverines today.

It's "just" college football, but it brings in big, Big, BIG bucks for these university athletes. I mean into 7-digits.Meer informatie

"Cannery Row" by John Steinbeck
18 september 2024, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
"Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses. Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, “whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches,” by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said “Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men,” and he would have meant the same thing."Meer informatie
