Triva following

In the photo what did Roger & the Masai Chief have in common?

Both are the same age.
Both have a knowledge of cows. The chief owns 75 cows.
One thing we didn't have in common. The chief has 9 wives and 42 children. Photo taken in Kenya spring 2006. Had a nice 15 minute conversation with him...his educated oldest son translated for us.

Bear with me on the Blogger...will learn soon. Roger

Count Down


Counting down three days & we will be on the road. Leaving this Friday at noon. A late start this time of year allows us to avoid the fog in the San Joaquin Valley.
Still a lot of get ready chores to do before we are ready to leave.

Will spent the weekend in Riverside, Ca with son Dan & family. Sunday will be watching the Superbowl. A visit on Monday with my sister & husband in Highland, Ca.
Plan to soak up some sun in Indio during the week then on to Yuma Az to visit our friends the: "Martinis'".

A good thing happen here last weekend. Received just over 4 inches of rain that brought our year to date total over 12 inches...1/3 of normal. Boy it's cold, 26 degrees this AM. Didn't make it over 40 degrees yesterday.

Bear with me on our postings until we get familiar with how to do it. I plan to post photos from my collection of over 8,000 shots. As a little trivia a few will
fallow.

This is a test to see if I can introduce our first blog. Pat and I will soon be leaving on a three month RV trip. As stated in December come February we will turn into snowbirds. Taking the sunbelt route into Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Then into Cajun Country and the Gulf Coast.

When on the Atlantic side will head North to be in DC by the time the cherry trees are in bloom. By that time with the weather warming we point west to tour the windy city. Crossing West through the great farm lands. The Canyon Lands of Utah stopping in Las Vegas then returning to Coarsegold
