Another delightful account of just one adventurous day shared by you and Ken, Kathe. I loved every word of it.
How was that slice of strawberry pie?!

Oh, I love this! I have spent the last few minutes reading all the posts and commenting where and when I could. This is fantastic! I got such a kick out of the baking story, but I think I like this one even better. I love the comments from the old geezers! Thanks for making me laugh again....

I love this one, always have. You have such a way of turning an everyday occurence into something that bears retelling -- over and over again. Bravo!

Kathe,
I'm still looking over stories in Ourecho and just found "The Smack-Dab Middle." I enjoyed your well-written tale and it brought back memories.

In 1964 I spent a few days in Buffalo, Wyoming (I know, different state.)visiting a friend from college days. His ranch sat in a narrow valley and you could look in both directions and see his black Angus cattle on the hill sides. One day we took his 4-wheel drive truck high into the Little Bighorn mountains. We found a beaver dam and were able to drive up fairly close to a herd of elk. Beautiful animals, beautiful country.
Any time I'm tempted to move to a more scenic area I think of the times I've fought blizzards in Northern Arizona (And Alaska) and figure I'm better off here in the Valley where snow seldom sticks to the ground.
