From FL to TN to KC

It's been three months since our last blog post. Yes, I'm guilty of being a little lazy...no excuses but it's time to get back to it.
Barbara and I are doing well. I had a colonoscopy today with good results so I've got 5 years before the next time. Barbara has her first one a week from today. She's a little nervous but after seeing me put on a brave face and having a good result, I think she feels pretty good about it.

So, where have we been the past three months?
We left Florida in early March and headed to Savannah for a week. In mid March we made it up to the tri-city area (Kingsport) in Tennessee to visit more family. My mom & dad are doing well. I'm thankful to still have them here. My brother Mike has moved in to help mom. He's been a great help to her. After a month in TN, we moved on to Kansas City where we'll stay until June 18. It is so good to get back to see the boys and our grandson. Brody is three years old and is an absolute joy to be around. He really loves his Granddad and Grammy. All of you other grandparents know what I'm talking about!
When we leave KC, we're heading back to Saratoga, WY for a couple of months. It will be getting hot by the time we leave. Saratoga, at 6700', between two mountain ranges, usually stays cool all summer. I've been getting my fly fishing gear ready as there is some of the best fly fishing in the world around the area. We'll be joined by good friends Galen and Lynn in late June for a few days of fishing and sight seeing. We're really looking forward to meeting up with other friends, Dennis and Joni from Colorado. They like to come up to Saratoga from there home in Loveland to enjoy the hot springs which is where we met them a few years ago.

Here are some photos taken over the past couple of months

Yesterday a very small Airstream pulled in beside us. Two people, 3 dogs, and a cat are sharing this space!
