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.

Thanks for the pics Richard. I added two of my own. The precious, precious one was 2005. So sorry the time was short with your girls. It just tempted all of us to travel to AZ! Hugs to you all. Judy

I know there are lots of these pics around, but thought I'd send these along. This particular photo is from 9 years ago. I guess we are moving along...

Topeka

Gassed up, chocolate supply obtained, time to head west.
Ken, I stopped by the main BP building again and this time was successful, found Max and Naomi Baker! He is the Pearl Harbor survivor and a real pleasant guy as I'm sure you recall. The Capital-Journal just had a nice big write up about him and his WW II experiences on the South Pacific; he went upstairs at a fairly brisk pace and brought me down a copy. Naomi is doing very well, as is Max. Naomi turned 99 yrs a few days ago, Max is 93. While he does have some degree of dementia, they are both doing very well and we had a real nice visit.
