Birthday 75

Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving Day

7:07 PM

I woke up this morning with plans to have a great day, had a donut and coffee.

Glenda and I loaded the dogs and rode to Glendale Az.

We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Denny's.

Then we rode off to Tonto A national forest. In Indian the word "Tonto" means stupid.

 Hi O Silver, away.

While we were out on the lake Lacie got out of the car without her leash on,  there she met 2 dogs on a leash, and the young couple proceeded to give me a cussing about a dog off a leash, as if I didn't know anything. It was my mistake she got loose. But the respect I got from that couple was a bit unnerving .

 Since I got Arizona I have been cussed out 3 times by younger people who obviously were not taught to respect their elders. Maybe they are bred that way here.

But I made up my mind the next time I get a cussing, there will be more said by me. The way I was taught in North Carolina, to respect my elders whether they were right or wrong.

Then the car battery started acting up and we barely made it home.

So that was my birthday anyway I do have so much to be thankful for; after all I didn't shoot that young asshole for cussing me.

Oatman, Az

Oatman, Az
 Due south of Kingman Az, I found this little village very unique and filled with visitors from all over the world. The most common visitors were the burrors.
 Living in their natural environment they are wild and you do not want to approach them because they can become vicious animals.
 However when a herd of them come to town for a free meal they become very gentle. The town allows them freedom and encourages us to feed them.
 This is the biggest tourist attraction. Other than that this 1850 town would be one of many ghost towns in Arizona.

Boon Docks

I have been out in the Boon Docks so long that I have forgotten how to type,. smoke signals and such you know. But here I am back in civilization for a while with internet service. But this was my front and back, side yard for a time. I love the wilderness, there is such beauty and nature here and God is every present.+ I will show you more of His wonderful works.
Thank you Jesus for giving me the ability to visit some of our Fathers architecture.

We just arrived at Cave Creek Ranger District in Scottsdale Az. Down right pretty place here. Lots of work and we do need more volunteers to handle the work load.
There are 1000s of miles of fence to repair, plumbing problems, signs that have been vandalized, broken equipment ect, ect.
How about doing some volunteer work and come join me in a life rewarding challenge
