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.

California Csrlsbad vacation

Ok.... vacation week in Ca off to an auspicious start...
But first,  en route from Phx on I 10, there is a really interesting Patton tank museum that is worth the stop,  hence the pic..
Having a really fun time w Addie for sure! 
Now the auspicious beginning part...
1. Part of my Jeep fell off on the interstate... only some trim as far as I can tell though. 
2. Got a little bit confused on the check -in check out date! Turns out I'm a day early! So! We get an extra day on the cool coast!  Luckily they have a little studio to stay in for the night.... So it's all good! 
 Now what to do tomorrow...
Love to all ,
Dad/ UR

Family reunion

Had a great family reunion,  wonderful get together. 
 Just when Uncle Ken started his report the storm let loose and it poured... ha ha!  Poor Ken. 
 Uncle Bill looked great and did well at 94. Aunt Augusta was beautiful and walked over...93.
 Noe had a great time and has learned a lot but got a little drenched. 
 Heidi says hello, her kids are adorable, and everyone else sends their regards.  It is a good family and we all survived and thrived another year. 
Love to all,  UR/Dad.

Finish at Dirty Kanza bike race!

 Downtown Emporia.
In town for the Dickson picnic with Noelle! Beautiful day. 

New relative!

 Ok, stay with me on this:
Walking around the block party in Emporia while riders coming in Jim kept running into friends of course.  One guy raised in Osage City, and wife,  and married a girl from Miller close to where great Uncle John had a place.  Turns out she is a Dickson!  Her dad was Dale Dickson,  the pilot who had that airstrip out front of his farm house,  founder of the Flying Farmers Assoc of Kansas of all things. 
  We are second cousins I guess.  
Is she a Dickson or what? Gotta love Emporia. Husband is city manager. 
 Having a good time in Kansas..
Love, UR/Dad
