It's a Small World
It's a small world after all. Yesterday we took a cruise around Lake Mead on a Mississippi River-style paddleboat. The weather was wonderful with bright sunshine, lovely blue skies and big fluffy white clouds. It was there we met two different couples from Massachusetts, one from Attleboro and the other from our home town Beverly. How about that!
Lake Mead has 550 miles of shoreline. We didn't see it all but had a nice afternoon. We went down as far as the Hoover Dam and returned. After a while the Attleboro chick and I went up to the bridge and tried our hands at steering the boat. We had a lovely talk with the Captain while our guys basted in the sun.
Be kind to each other.

The dam looks so different from down at lake level! We visited up at the top and ate a "dam dog" at the Snackateria. I have the bumper sticker to prove it (since my camera was stolen out of our car shortly after we left the dam, the bumper sticker and drink cup are the ONLY proof that I've been there). :-)

Oh I know I am going enjoy following along with you on your six months of travel. It's not far away for us now. I have alerts set for new post of your journal. How's it feel knowing so many people are traveling with you? If you get to Florida, look us up, we have a place to plug in a camper.

We are still in Indiana, busy seeing old friends and family. The weaher was great the first few days we were here but then it turned really POOPY, some snow and lots of rain. We are seeing Nancy and Norm Getzin today for lunch and then I am going to see one brother.
Philip, our grandson runs track and we have been to a couple of track meets. He came in first in both of his events both times, so that was worth sitting in the cold and rain to watch.
We are leaving for Montana Saturday morning, going through Michigan to see some friends on Lake Hureon and then our oldest Grandson in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. (he is in the Coast Guard) We should be home sometime Wednesday or Thursday. If you get that way, let us kn ow. Shirley and Jack.
