Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Elise's Birthday fun!

Ok all, giving this a try!

Elise turned 1 last weekend and since Thomas was working we just did a mini cake (aka cupcake) over at the hospital. It didn't take her long to get from taste to demolish. She also loves ice cream, Popsicles and Pepsi.

So good to be 1!!

Love and hugs to all!

Disneyland!

Well, four out of five having a good time anyway!
"It's a small world afterall, it's a small small world"
Repeat 700 times...
Aauugh!
Fun day of course! Megan was giggly and happy unless someone brought out a camera.

UDT Museum

1, Examples of insertion craft, your that dad was on which was destroyed and men killed.
2, Memorial brick. Very poignant to see and reflect.
A very nice visit, well worth the little journey.

Florida

Still really enjoying Orlando and environs, for sure. Of course the usual pics from the "Disneyworld Experience", but here's a few from the UDT/Seal museum since most of us haven't been there, Ft. Pierce, Fla. It is built correctly on the site where the first Underwater Teams were selected and trained, including my dad, your grandfather, and great grandfather.
1, Entry way, 2, Examples of beach obstructions to be demolished.
Couple more coming up..
