Friends

I caught up with a co-worker and her husband this week.  She’s been retired for a couple of years, so I got to see how wonderful retirement really is.  We sat out front of their place and looked at the beautiful mountains, sipping wine while watching the sunset.  Life doesn’t get any better than this.  You don’t realize how nice it is to see and talk to someone you know.  I’ve met a lot of nice people along the way, and we’ve had great chats, but not the same as an old friend.  I had a great time catching up.

This picture was taken in the morning, how beautiful is that to look at daily.  They took me over to this so I could see how the terrain changes, and then to look back across the other way.

While there I asked about a couple different things I had seen along the way.  One was the group of trees just outside of town.  It was like an apple orchard, but I knew they weren’t apples.  They were pecan trees!  The other thing I saw a lot of was large grates across roads, and that’s to keep the free range cows from crossing and going into traffic areas.

Now off to my next adventure…..
