Took a trip that brought into focus how beautiful a gift was given to all of us.

I take a hike…
You can search the internet, read all about trails and be told how short and easy some trails can be. Then you get there and find the short easy trek described as moderate to steep and equal to going up 8 flights of stairs…
Part II: 2017 Bike Ride Across Iowa
Everyone wins… you get on a bike any bike and ride… short or long… fast or slow. You win just by doing…
2017 Bike Ride Across Iowa
For the 19th time I took to the road on my bicycle and rode across Iowa. Wonder, fun and joy came along each day.
A low key day on an all cap typewriter
My Underwood has its Western Union serial number WU5739R and I checked the number under the foot is 205320. I guessed 1909 based on design, but the serial number places it at 1908. For me 1908 is a great year for an Underwood.
Side trip to Roswell…
After leaving Monument Valley… I headed to Roswell, NM. I thought it would be a great place to watch the Presidential Debate.
Creating new memories… my visit to Monument Valley
At the Monument Valley Tribal Park, you can stay at the View (with great views) and eat at the restaurant (Navajo music plays in the background). You will leave with wonderful memories of a lifetime.
Views from Monument Valley…
Took a trip to see in real life… what I have so often viewed in the reel life movies of  John Ford. The hotel noted that over 50 movies have been filmed in Monument Valley…. of the movies listed I’ve seen 28 and recall some not mentioned.
Looking for good!
I walked outside and passed by a weed… then I noticed a flower and decided I would spend the day on the good! Nice thoughts, good people and nice things.
