Enjoyable Fall mornings and clouds - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 10-21-2007 02:32 Good morning everyone: Was sitting out side this morning, on the back porch having coffee and enjoying the coolness of Fall season temperatures. Leaves are turning and starting to fall and the morning sky seems a stark contrast of pretty hues of blue mixed with the puff of clouds floating majestically by. Remember when we were kids, or maybe even now we used to lay on our backs in a field or just in the yards, looking up at those billowy puffs and picking shapes out that looked like horses, pirate ships or maybe even a large pumpkin pulled by horses complete with glass slippers. Well it brought a smile to this old war horse. Sitting there after a fill up of coffee in that trusty old Wanderlodge coffee cup, I spied a set off clouds that reminded me of images I had mentally formed of the Crusades to the Holy Land, then thinking how, though ancient, those times were not so different from todays world of traveling. There they are, on a trec across strange lands, sharing hazards of travel like a horse throwing a shoe having enough oats for the feeding of those steadfast beasts on diesel> or even the simplest of things like sharing a camp fire or having a pot luck dinner or even having a cup of coffee or tea as they watched the sun rise and wonder what the days travel will bring in the way of adventures on this day. So with a smile on my lips and this thought going through the old grey haired pate the wagons of a bygone era, were built to withstand the harshest of rigors, carry the needs of sustaining it's patrons providing cover from harm in strange surrounds and become a place of meeting from time to time where tails of despair and glory are shared over the flickering campfires. Yes, not so much has changed really. The same principals are still at work in this day as it was back then. So as I sip the remains of coffee this morning, and thinking of all that are making the sojourn to Perry Ga, travels be safe and not fraught with peril nor famine. And the oats and fodder be plentiful to fuel those giant beasts of burden. <soft smiles> Safe travels, Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider 84FC35 Duncan, Oklahoma Enjoyable Fall mornings and clouds - bbwlwb88 - 10-21-2007 13:19 Hey there Ralph.

Howdy, Ralph and Charolette. We are sipping our coffee in the kitchen and looking out of the window at the snow here in Buena Vista, CO. Jack bought a couple of bags of deer food and put it on the patio and the patio table. At supper time(around 5-6 PM) we eat and watch the 6-8 deer eating their supper off of the table and the patio. It was 20 degrees last night and now is is about 40. We are working off of the fresh water tank, too. It has been years since we have been in snow. Hope to head south on this Thursday. Good to hear from you.

We are enjoying a few days in sunny Phoenix, AZ, having the pesky gen set problem fixed and the bedroom air fixed. We are going to see some friends (SOB) that we met at Carson and visit with them a couple of days before heading for Austin, TX. Will see you two at the Lone Star Holiday Rally and be able meet many more forum members. Ken and Patti "Ralph L.
