Angel Loves Home

If you are an animal lover - you may enjoy this short vid .. or not :-)

When we travel, we take Angel with us (sometimes if we have to fly she has to stay in the "hotel") but mostly she travels with us and has since she was small and she is a very good traveler.  She has one eye that had to be removed at age three and before that it was always having to be medicated (like twice a day) and her other eye is the one the doctors actually thought was no good -- well, when she lost the eye they thought she was seeing out of, it became apparent the "bad" eye was the eye she was seeing out of ... she chases birds, watches flies and does what normal cats can do - she doesn't know she's different!  Anyway, she travels with us because (1) she's become afraid of the cat door - I think one of her sisters jumped on her one time and (2) when she gets in a hurry, if she turns right (the side with no eye) she has a tendency to run into things ... it really is okay to laugh, now I chuckle at her myself.

Okay ... so long story, the cat has an uncanny knack of knowing when we get home even before I tell her - so as soon as she started in with her "home" meows, I started the vid (it is edited because ... well you would toss up your cookies ... the camera got a little wild there for a bit!)

Turn off the music above and listen to the meows and sqweaks - and yes, she really does get in her traveler because she knows she can't get out of the car if she isn't in there :-)

Marfa, Texas - Come Ride With Us

In the true fashion of a goofball, I vid'ed a drive through Marfa, Texas for ya -- aaahhhh come on ... you know you're dying to see the place Lance is always talking about (although I'm sure he has his very own "special" place there!)  Not too long, but I guarantee - it may be a little entertaining (or not!)

Vid 1:  We started it as a complete "tour" but then ran into just a small snag :-)

Then we finally found the snag ... and it was closed!!!

Day 2 Extra - Come Walk the Window Trail With Us!

You might wanna mute the background music, if you wanna hear crunching feet! :-)

Video of a short portion of the Window Trail -- 5.0 miles round trip ... we didn't walk the whole thing today, although we have several times over the years!  It is a rather civilized trail, as hiking trails go and you can always see great scenery, of course, and if early enough all sorts of critters :-)
