Hello there! It's Sunday afternoon and we are packing up to get on the roa tomorrow morning...don't know how far we will get with all the snow...The forecast is grim...supposed to be lots of road closures...yes, they are the roads we are supposed to take. We are on our way to the West Coast from Wyoming...hummmm, how long will it take..It is usually a one sleep trip. However, with going thru South Pass, WY and then all of Utah and all of Nevada and...don't forget the Donnor Pass...you know where the people got stuck in a bad blizzard and eventually ran out of food... At church this morning, my girlfriend said..."don't forget a lot of snacks so you don't have to start having to eat each other" we laughed...hopefully we will have a lot of laughs on the trip. the Ol Coyote enjoys the journey, not the destination...I enjoy both!! Can we say SHOPPING!!! Can we say GOOD RESTAURANTS!!!! oh yummmmmmmmm.
We are going to my girlfriend's place for Thanksgiving and then Saturday, we are having a 90th birthday party for her dad. He is like my second dad, in fact their whole family is like my second family. As kids, they (the whole family) would take me along when we would go camping and all kinds of stuff. In fact it was Dale (her dad) who inspired my email.."cruella" We all went to see 101 Dalmations "at the drive-in" and once we watched the film, all the way home he was singing cruella De Mille (De Mille being my maiden name) and from then on, I became Cruella.
Now this trip will be anything but dull with everyone who shows up...and the Coyote will not be bored...he has gotten to love them all thru the years. Dale loves guns (need I say more) his son Dana also loves guns. Then Dale flew in WWII and then worked at Lockheed (that's another name young people won't recognize). Thus...airplines, helicopters, etc...so there are lots of subjects that interest a mulltitude of persons...Oh, and if you REALLY want to get things rolling...can we say POLITICS YiKeS!!! head for the hills, it gets nasty with that subject...hahaha.
We of course, love and miss our kids and grandkids, but we've at least gotten to see them once this year and next year is not far off...I hate having our family so spread out! But then, let's face it...Cody, Wyoming doesn't have a lot of job opportunities available. Unless you are in Police work, teaching, banking, attorneys well, you could always be a Wallmart Greeter...lol
OK...gotta really get in gear...three loads of wash done...no packing done...means we have a lot more to do...Please, if you read this...say a prayer for all those on the road and in the sky...fighting for our country; families missing loved ones and really...everyone! At this time of the year are thoughts go to memories of the passed and the things and people that we cherish. Thankful for our many blessings and especially the blessing of life it's self. Hold dear those you love, life is fragile. I'm so thankful for my family and all my friends...especially my best friend that Ol Coyote...Be safe; Be careful; and Be Happy!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!

CATCHING UP!
HI ALL!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT i FIGURED i WOULD GO HERE. SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AND GONE ON SINCE i LAST BLOGGED, SHEESH, WHERE TO START...WELL, HOLY COW, i GUESS i SHOULD START BY SAYING i DON'T REMEMBER HOW TO DO COLORS AND CAPS AND OH WITH...I'M WRITING, THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. LET'S SEE...THE OL COYOTE SOLD THE "POS"...TO GET THE TRUCK...OH, THE TRUCK THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON...LMFAO! OK...IF ANY OF YOU KNOW ME WELL, YOU KNOW MY MIND SKIPS FROM HERE TO THERE, SO THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE TO MANY OF YOU...OR THE ONE PERSON THAT READS THIS...
THIS YEAR, WE HAVE GONE CAMPING 4 TIMES, ONE BIG TRIP TO TEXAS FOR LISSI'S GRADUATION AND ANOTHER BIG TRIP TO SEE MY BROTHER AND FAMILY IN LAUGHLIN, THEN ON DOWN THE ROAD TO SEE OUR DAUGHTER AND OUR OTHER THREE BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTERS.
EMILY, KELLI'S OLDEST (SHE JUST TURNED 15!) IS PLAYING DRUMS IN THE MARCHING BAND AND DOING EXTREMELY WELL. SHE LOOKS LIKE A STRING BEAN WITH THIS MASSIVE BUNCH OF 4 DRUMS HANGING OF HER SHOULDERS IN FRONT OF HER...I'M TOTALLY AMAZED THAT SHE CAN STAND UP, LET ALONE MARCH ALL OVER A FOOTBALL FIELD...CAN WE SAY AWESOME!!! KATE AND ABBY ARE DOING GREAT AND LOVING THE SUCCESS OF THEIR BIG SISTER.
KELLI, OUR DAUGHTER IS BUSY TRYING TO SUPPORT HER THREE GIRLS, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND EDUCATIONALLY..THAT ALONE SHOULD CONSUME HER TIME. BUT NOT OUR GIRL..SHE HAS TO CHALLENGE HERSELF AS WELL. SO, SHE IS STILL DOING HER MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTING WHICH HAS TURNED INTO PROOF READING AND A SALARY HALF OF WHAT SHE WAS MAKING PREVIOUSLY..BUT ALL THE ABOVE HAS NOT KEPT HER MIND AND BODY BUSY ENOUGH, SO SHE HAAS DECIDED THAT SHE NEEDS TO STRETCH A LITTLE FARTHER. career change SHE HAS GONE BACK TO SCHOOL TO BECOME AND "RN"..HOLY CRAP..I WOULD BE IN A RUBBER ROOM WITH ALL THAT GOING ON...BUT SHE IS MANAGING AND MANAGING WELL WITH ABOUT IF NOT A 4.0 AVERAGE.
ALYSSIA (LISSI) AS I CALL HER, HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN COSMETOLOGY. SHE LOVES FIXING, COLORING AND CUTTING HAIR..SHE DID QUITE A BIT OF SEARCHING TO FIND HE SCHOOL SHE WAS ABLE TO ATTEND. SHE STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO AND IS LOVING IT...SHE BOUGHT HER CAR FROM HER MOM AND STEP-DAD AND IS WORKING TO PAY FOR SCHOOL...SHE IS A BUSY GIRL...I THINK HER SCHEDULE IS, EAT, SLEEP WORK, SCHOOL REPEATED DAILY. SHE MISSES HER SOCIAL LIFE AND PLAYING WITH HER BROTHER AND 2 SISTERS WHOM SHE LOVES VERY MUCH. OH, PLUS THE TWO DOGS AND CAT...
RUSS IS DOING...HE TOO IS HAVING NO SOCIAL LIFE, WORKING AND SLEEPING TAKE UP ALL HIS TIME. HE IS STILL AT DISNEYWORLD, THANK HEAVEN...HE HA BEEN TESTING FOR OTHER POSITIONS WITHIN THE COMPANY AND DOING WELL ON HIS INTERVIEWS..IN FACT, BOTH THE POSITIONS HE INTERVIEWED FOR, WANT HIM..MORE STRESS FOR THE KID. THANK HEAVEN HE HAS NIKKI TO TALK WITH WHEN HE GETS HOME FROM WORK. NIKKI IS HIS DOG. HE ALSO HAS HIS ROOM MATE (WHEN SHE IS THERE) TO TALK WITH. JD ALSO WORKS FOR DISNEY, SO THEY CAN COMMISERATE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. JD HAS WORKED THERE LONGER SO SHE CAN (TRY) TO EXPLAIN WHY THINGS WORK THE WAY THEY DO. I'M SO GLAD HE HAS HER FOR A ROOMMATE, THEY GET ALONG REALLY WELL AND IT HELPS ME TO RELAX SOME..THAT HE HAS SOMEONE SINCE HE IS SO FAR AWAY. THANK HEAVEN RUSS HAS MEDICAL INS. BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS THIS YEAR ALONG WITH HIS TEETH...HE COMES BY IT THRU THE GENES...UNFORTUNATELY BUT, WE ALL HAVE OUR TRIALS...
I GUESS I SHOULD STOP AND LET YOU CATCH YOUR BREATH BEFORE I GO ON ABOUT SKIPPER AND ME. I DO WANT TO SAY, HOWEVER THAT WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF OUR LOVED FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND A PET THIS YEAR...NOT HAPPY...WE MISS OUR BELOVED FAMILY MEMBER, OUR ROTTWIELLER, DAYSEE MAE WHO DIED FROM BRAIN CANCER. AND, OUR COUSIN (CAN'T USE ANY ADJECTIVES TO ADAQUITLY DESCRIBE HOW MUCH WE LOVED AND APPRECIATED HER) COLLEEN MEANT SO MUCH TO US AND WERE MORE THAN SHOCKED WHEN WE LOST HER TO A HEART ATTACK. IN TALKING WITH HER KIDS..ONE OF HER SONS SAID "I THOUGHT WE HAD A GOOD 20 YEARS LEFT" AND WE ALL FELT THAT WAY...GOOD GRIEF, SHE ATE WELL, EXERCISED, DID EVERYTHING HEALTHY AND BAM...GONE...I'M STILL IN DENIAL.
OK, I SAID I WOULD STOP...HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE MY BLOG, I NEED ANOTHER OUTLET FROM FACE BOOK, I LOVE PLAYING AND TALKING ON FACE BOOK BUT SOMETIMES THERE IS NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATION WHEN THE APPS DON'T WORK.....OK OK, I'M REALLY GOING TO QUIT NOW..HAVE A GREAT DAY...TA TA (SORRY ABOUT THE MISSPELLINGS)
