Grand Canyon Sunrise

I am awed at the splendor created by nature.  It has been nearly 20 years since my bride and I visited but a portion of the canyon, periodically, I like to visit it in my dreams. Sadly, my knees and joints wouldn’t take a hike down into the canyon.  But I would sure like to visit the rim again. Here is a sunrise perspective from Yavapai Point in Grand Canyon National Park. Cheers and enjoy.  Carl Related articles Walking around the rim of the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater (gerisroom.wordpress.com) Grand canyon-Over the Egde!

and now a call from the prize patrol

We have been in the city since early this morning for my doctor appointment. David spent some time with his grandfather. He has been incredibly patient this morning. While I was at grandpa’s house grandpa got a phone call from someone who wanted to know if they could deliver his prize today. The prize? 4.5 million dollars, dad just had to pay 1% of the prize and give his checking account number. Dad handled it very well. Told him to take the fee out of the check and then mail him the check. The guy called twice, and each time Dad did the same thing. Pretend to be hard of hearing, not speak very good english, and then say goodbye. We had a good laugh about it. Tweet #fighting4answrs

a lunch date with my wife on the morrow

Sweet, my bride and I get to have a couple of hours to ourselves tomorrow.  🙂  Thanks so much Auntie! We are going into the city, doing a little shopping, lunch buy some car parts for my truck, and then come home.  Kind of a late valentines treeat for ourselves. Having three boys on the spectrum with the youngest being the way he is, it is difficult to find a sitter who can keep up with them. We don’t like to leave David home with the girls, as they don’t deserve that.  So since Auntie came to visit for the weekend, we have a perfectly capable sitter.  She doesn’t brook any trouble from any of the boys, and knows how to deal with their quirks and many blessings. So tomorrow, I will get to tell everyone how my date went with my bride. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
