Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 7 – Part 2
Wednesday, September 4 – A full day at Bryce Canyon The next shuttle took us to Sunset Point for another view of the canyon. I thought these rocks appeared to be sheer, but it may just have been the appearance with the sun shining on them. We asked a young couple from France to take […]
Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 7 – Part 1
Wednesday, September 4 – A full day at Bryce Canyon This was our view as we walked around the corner of Ruby’s Inn for our free breakfast – with a voucher – because we have a room on this property. I love the history of this inn. In 1916, Reuben C. (Ruby) Syrett brought his […]
Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 6 – Part Two
Tuesday, September 3 – Grand Junction, Colorado to Bryce Canyon, Utah This rest stop on Highway 89, near Circleville, Utah, featured one of Butch Cassidy’s childhood homes. After looking at this house, I decided they knew about “tiny houses” long before they were made popular in today’s world. I can’t imagine the Parker family lived […]
Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 6 – Part One
Tuesday, September 3 – Grand Junction, Colorado to Bryce Canyon, Utah I have so many pictures from Day 6 that I decided to divide this post into two parts. It was about 7:15 am when we left the motel in Grand Junction. We crossed into Utah at 7:43 am with 2,415 miles on our trip […]

Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 3
Saturday, August 31 – Jefferson City, Missouri to Hays, Kansas We left the motel in Jefferson City about 7:25 am. It was still cool and overcast, but by the time we reached Kansas City (above) the skies had cleared and the temperatures were in the mid-seventies. We began seeing lots of small sunflowers along the […]
Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 2
Friday, August 30 – Indianapolis, Indiana to Jefferson City, Missouri Our motel driveway in south Indianapolis must have been facing east. This was our view as we pulled out onto the street. A truck passed us that was hauling little pigs – probably going to a farm to be fed and fattened. Notice the little […]
Our Journey to Bryce Canyon – Day 1
Thursday, August 29 – Home to South Indianapolis, Indiana When you travel with us you have to get up early. 🙂 We planned to get up at 3 am, but I woke up at 2:45 to hear Cerwin already walking around the house. We were on the road by 4:25 and already going through the […]
Birthday Brunch with Deb
Tuesday, August 27 Deb asked if we could do brunch on her birthday – for her 2019 birthday gift. That worked for me. After I thought about it, I asked if she wanted to do manicures and pedicures first. I hadn’t had a pedicure since my birthday in February, and felt like having my hands […]
Odds & Ends Pictures from August
These are pictures that didn’t fit into any other posts during the month of August. I enjoyed being serenaded each morning by this cute little wren. We have an outside camera that picks up sounds – the reason I could hear it so clearly. A robin looking for breakfast. A blue jay enjoying the morning […]
Birthday Party
Sunday, August 25 We could smell that something delicious was being grilled when we arrived at Jere and Kristen’s house. This was Ian’s choice of meat. Their chickens are doing a good job of providing eggs. Ian’s birthday balloon. I needed a new birthday photo for Ian, so did a few settings to try for […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Ian
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Harvesting Butternut Squash
I took these pictures during the week of August 14-21. The harvesting was done on the 20th and 21st. I have enjoyed watching the maturing of the butternut squash in the field across from our yard. When I asked our Amish neighbor if they were going to hand pick them, he said, “No, they will […]
Mountain Life with Jere & Kristen’s Family – Part 2
Saturday, August 25 and Sunday, August 26 Breakfast pizza on Saturday morning Jere was our “spider-web-destroyer” as the four of us began a morning walk. The sign at the end of our driveway Beauty along the way Can you tell that it was a beautiful morning? We couldn’t identify this foot print? Our first thought […]
