Walking Nox Turned into Watching Parasailing

June 7, 2023 On May 28 (Sunday), we were out walking Nox in Tin Cup Park behind Dakota Ridge RV Resort. Due to the storm clouds, we looked up and noticed several parasails circling as they descended. Nox got a bit impatient with us as she wanted to walk and not stand around. We gave […]

Dinner in the Evening and then Driving from Ellis, Kansas to Golden, Colorado the Next Day

June 4, 2023 On May 20 (Saturday), we were invited to dinner by a friend who lives in Hays, Kansas. We had a lovely time. Much to my surprise, her oldest (7 years old) boy remembered me from the Halloween extravaganza FirstBank does. While I was dressed up as a witch, my friend let her […]

From Texas to The Great Salt Plains Lake State Park in Oklahoma
