The Yellowstone Trip

-
  The Yellowstone Trip Back in August of 2010, Patti and I took a trip with Amy and Aaron to a number of national parks and other memorable places on the way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. These included the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, Wind Cave, and Medicine Wheel National Historic Site.  The Badlands are well-named. They are other-worldly bad. Over-the-top bad. But beautiful as well in their own stark and sere way. We took them in, and drove on down the road.  Next stop, Mount Rushmore, the iconic faces of Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln peering down from their mountain home. Per the brochure, it took six years to carve the faces in the cliff, six years spread over the fourteen years it took to raise the million dollars for the project. The faces are up to six stories high from chin to crown. Taking a road off to the side of the mountain, we caught a different camera angle, the side of Washington’s face. We had a bri...

Memories of Nepal

  Memories of Nepal At the monkey temple, one tried to steal a lady’s purse, but she battled back. On the bus safari, a mother rhino and her big baby approached us within a few feet, but ignored us and continued grazing. We saw other rhinos in the lowland valley of southern Nepal. On our dugout canoe trip, we passed a number of crocodiles along the riverbank. The guide assured us - somewhat - that they had already eaten. Peacocks and monkeys were seen along the shore. At the Chitwan National Park elephant rearing station, we saw mother elephants and their offspring. The bulls roam the wilds of the Park. and are brought in annually to mate. One baby elephant approached us at the fence. We gave the baby a drink of water. We passed a large cargo hauler - an elephant - on the narrow dirt road. Besides elephants, another beast of burden is the water buffalo. We saw a number of them submerged up to their horned heads in a farm pond, staring at us as we stared at them, We were bussed to a...

What Am I: Riddles for Grandma and Grandpa's Party

-
  What Am I: Riddles for Grandma and Grandpa’s Party I start out low, get higher and higher. I warm things up, then disappear for awhile. I’m tall and strong. At different times, I’m green, then yellow, then brown. I’m frosty cold, but can melt. I’m sweet 31 different ways. Kai and Connor don’t like me. (They love me!) I can be big or small. A pretty big one is only two miles from here. I can have sand in places on my borders. Some of my kind are so big you can’t see the other side. I’m higher than a kite. I can take any shape. Sometimes I leak. I have many rooms. They are for getting smarter. Kids like to come to me, but also like to go outside for  awhile. You can’t see me, only the effect I have on things. You can feel me. I can be gentle, blustery, move straight ahead, back and forth, even swirl around. Someone pushes one of my buttons, and, magically, a picture comes up. More magic: people thousands of miles apart talk to each other through me. When I’m a baby, I’m pretty...
