Weekend







This weekend was good. Dave and Elisabeth had us over for dinner Friday night. Food and company was super. Saturday, we threw our day packs in the Cruiser and off we went to Mount Antero for a hike. The day was overcast when we left the car, and after 10 minutes it began to rain and commenced to pour! We went on. We stopped for lunch and found a semi dry spot out of the rain. It was 35 degrees and our hands were freezing. We started back to the warm car. It was still a lot of fun in the cold. The next day, Father's Day, we worked around the 40 acres.

Lake Powell











Dave and Elisabeth invited us to Lake Powell for a 4 day weekend on their beautiful houseboat. Of course we went. 5 years ago was the last time we were there. It was a great weekend with lots of sun. The water was still too cold, but Lynn and Dave dared each other so they both jumped off the end of the boat. Dave even got Lynn to do it a second time. It must be a guy thing. We were tied to their buoy so guess what I had to hurl off the side of the boat. Dave graciously pulled into a little cove and tied us to the rocks and I was fine. Sorry about that guys. We did a tour in the pantoon boat and had lunch on a sandy beach courtesy of Dave. That night we had 2 mallard ducks that were staring at us at the end of the boat begging like Kimo does with his unflinching stare. It was a wonderful trip with good food and friends.
