Highway Rollers

Cindy and Jim, who've been visiting for a couple weeks (hurrah!), traded in their rolling house today for a model that won't be so vulnerable to the wind. It also has these cool pop-out sides, so that when they're setting up camp, then can have a wider vehicle.

If you haven't been inside one of these amazing mobile homes, check 'em out, and imagine being young retirees with time and your own home on wheels to take you wherever you want to go.

And while you're at it, imagine (it might help!) that gas is well under $3 a gallon.

State Fair Rollers

Like father, like son. Can't get enough state fair.This was a couple hours before heat exhaustion set in for the entire senior set (Tim, Lynda, Fred, Cindy, and Jim).

It was a great day, though. Might have been better if we'd started out in the cool of the morning.

Dad got us a magic dog rake--the Furminator de-shedding tool--that works wonders on Feivel's coat. And we saw goats and chickens and art and had some cool drinks. After that, it's hard to remember!
