Edward Wallis Hoch (1849-1925)

There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

Arizona The Grand Canyon State

On Dec.4th Bruce and I met his high school buddy and his wife in Maricopa AZ. It's 20 miles south of Phoenix. We dry camped in the AK Chin Harrah's Casino for three days. On Sunday we drove three hours up to Sedona, where we took a jeep ride up into the mountains. We ate red dust and our kidneys were rattled but we had an awesome time.

Something to think about.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter.


Someone sent this to me, and I thought it was a good way to look at things.

Turkey in a trash can

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today we went to a dish to pass Thanksgiving dinner at the campground we are staying at. I have never heard of cooking a turkey in a trash can but it was good. I think it could have cooked longer but it was nice. I just wonder where all the juices go that you need for the yummy gravy. I think this method is for campers who don't want to heat up their motorhomes with a turkey cooking all day.

Last year a fried turkey, this year a turkey in a trash can. Who knows what they will think of next!! I must say I think I like the old fashioned turkey in an oven method best.

New Mexico Land of Enchantment

We decided to drive a hundred miles south to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We hiked down 800 feet and were still 1650 feet above sea level. Needless to say we took an elevator back up to the surface. This cavern isnt the prettiest we've ever seen but they are the deepest. They have since found deeper caverns at the same park.

These are the only aliens we saw in Roswell New Mexico
