FMCA Rally (Family Motor Coach Assoc); Redmond, OR

Here it is now the 2nd official day of the rally and we have already been here since Monday!  The sun shines each day with clear blue sky and sometimes in the afternoon a slight breeze kicks up and really cools things down but the nights are cool and make sleeping wonderful!  There are somewhere around 3000 motor coaches here and although a much smaller rally (fewer vendors and seminars); we are having a wonderful time.  People are so friendly and the weather so great; what more can you ask for?  The entertainment has been GREAT!  I loved movie night "The Long, Long Trailer with Lucy; Debbie Reynolds who is now 78 and just as spry and cute as she was in the Unsinkable Molly Brown; and last night we had a wonderful treat; the Texas Tenors!  They were on America has Talent.  We had never heard them before but I can tell you their music brought tears to this old gals eyes!  They were so good.  We were too far away to get up to stage to get a cd but I want one!  Loved their show.  Today is 'Free Hugs' day and with so many friendly people it's already begun as another great day.  How can you miss when the morning music is "You are my sunshine". ha!

On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
