The picture is taken from the plane window flying into Chicago from St. Louis after being diverted there because of tornados. There’s a few more posted on my flickr page if you’re interested.
Andy got in last night. This morning we’re on the way to Green Bay to visit Andy’s sister, [...]

cicada Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
We went for a walk last night and saw a cicada emerging from his shell on the sidewalk. On the way back it was all the way out and walking circles in the sidewalk. It’s wings were still wet. My brother-in-law put it on a leaf and carried it to a [...]

Earlier yesterday evening sitting at the kitchen table, my mom was making proclimations that “tonight was going to be the night”. One thing is almost for sure, when my mom makes proclimations, there is a good to excellent chance that they will not come true. I think it’s her way of trying to control the [...]

The RN and the aide are here. The RN is here to take vital signs and help. The aid is here to give Bob a bath. He has a fever of 103, they gave him Tylenol and he seems to be doing better. We were all changing the bedding while the nurses were rolling him [...]

I’m at the airport. My plane leaves in an hour. My mom called this morning and said that the nurse that comes to the house told her that Bob my step dad has about 48 hours of life left. I changed my tickets and packed my bags. It feels so strange. People should not be [...]

Yesterday morning we came back to Golden. The place with the kayaks and Clear Creek. Andy had games to bet spread out throughout the day, so we could never be far from the laptop. We did have a two hour break to lay out in the sun and play in the rushing water. Andy waded [...]

We’re at Cherry Creek State Park tonight. For the last three days we’ve been boondocking. The first night in the parking lot of 24 hour fitness, the second in the parking lot of a 24 hour King Sooper (grocery store) and 24 hour Starbucks. Last night we parked in front of the place where Andy [...]

The Jeep broke down today. I think the words that Andy used were “catastrophic failure”. First, the lower portion of the raidiator hose ruptured. We had just driven to lunch, walked in the door and heard a person behind us say, “Does anyone here own a black Jeep?”. We looked out the window to see [...]

There are stay cats here. It makes sense. For a stray cat, an RV park would make a pretty good home. One of the cats came right into our RV begging for food, jumping on the couch and the counter. He was a tabby male that looked almost exactly like the mother cat of the [...]

The friendliest non domestic animal we’ve met.

I don’t know what to do with myself right now.
I have unlimited options and no motivation. Sometimes too many choices paralyzes me. I think this is why I do well with lists. Look at the list, do the thing, check it off, go to the next thing. I have a list right now. I [...]

I’m sitting in the “Higher Grounds” coffee house abusing their wifi. I don’t know if I mentioned it or not but Andy and I had our unlimited wifi cut off because we used it too much. The fine print in the contract says that unlimited internet usage does not include streaming audio, video or peer [...]

Hey.

Jason Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
Jason the cat is no longer. He had been adopted by our good friends Troy and Heather. We got a call tonight that he, to spare you all of the gory details, was in distress and needed immediate attention. Troy and Heather brought him to the vet, but there was nothing [...]

We just checked into our first RV park. I’ve never seen or been to one before. I’m surprised to say….I think it’s great. It’s a little more than we wanted to spend for this sort of thing, $32 a night, but it seems to be worth it. It’s in a small town called Golden. There’s [...]

I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but we’ll most likely be in the Denver area for the entire month of July. Last night we stayed and tonight we’re staying at our friend Jarrett’s new house. He’s out of town and offered his home while he was away. Our “house” is parked at a [...]
