SNOWY SUNDAY

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!!!
