Well, it's not out of the country, but it's out o'state. A place to start at least. Sis and I are headed to see Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands. I 'm anxious to see the badlands as, well their name implies bad things. I am hoping this is just for comparison purposes. I can be a bad-ass in the Bad-lands. He,he,he.( come on... you know that was funny) Better bad than big...
Pictures to come. Wish for safe driving.:-)
Another note it was a beautiful day here in CO. I wore shorts and was chilly.... IN JULY!!!! That and the sunset as seen in Castle Rock was so pretty. Not a cloud in the sky. I kicked myself for not having my camera in my purse. When I question whether I should ever leave this place, nights like this make a compelling argument to stay. A very compelling argument. For those who have never been, I'll try to get pics of that too.
Lastly,the office is coming along alright.... thanks to my friend Carol. She is a great motivator. Anyway, over the last 3 days we have caught ...(gulp) SIX MICE!!!! Gross. They love peanut butter and chocolate. I share that like with them, sadly. I actually saw one in the trap today. The custodians had gotten the previous ones. My reaction when finding "corpus o' mickey" was not gracefull. Nope. It went more like. "EWWWW!!! OMG!!!! DEAD!!!! EWWWW!!! ICK!!!!! DEAD!!!" Luckily, Carol, being a little older and braver than myself, was able to remove dead rodent and kindly laugh at my spastic reaction. I could have emptied it, as soon as I obtained a face mask and rubber gloves..... I think.
Thinking of rural places, there's a place out here called Black Forest, which, as time passes, I become more and more enamored with. Lots of land, trees, and privacy - which I am growing to appreciate. As much as I like the country, if I have to encounter mice and snakes on a regular basis, maybe not. Then again, the cockroaches of extraordinary size might scare me away from the big cities too. I am damned to suburbia :-).
Nah. I take that back. I could handle the sitation. I'd have cats, ferrets, and raid on holster. I could make it........
