A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Woke up Sunday Morning with out a cloud in the sky…Temps to reach in the 70s…Mary Ann wants to prepare a substantial breakfast and head to Canyon City and catch the Royal Gorge Train and kick back and enjoy the day…We did not have reservations and were not sure if we could catch the 12:30 train…Canyon City is only about 45 miles away…By 9:30 we were on our way…It is a very pleasant drive with very little traffic..We arrive about 10:30 and ask for tickets…There are two tickets left in the dome car…We grab them and find a seat outside in the warm morning sun…We drink a coke and eat a banana…I love watching people coming and going…We meet people from Michigan, Louisiana, Texas, Chicago, and of course Colorado…We are boarded about 12:00 and there is a photographer taking pictures…We find our seats and to our surprise they are very good seats facing forward…A waiter soon comes by to take our order for lunch…I just get some chips and dip while Mary Ann orders potato skins…While we are enjoying the beauty of the Gorge the photographer brings the developed pictures…They are not the best quality so we decline to purchase any…The two hour ride was just the right length for not getting tired and boring…When we return we see clouds gathering to the north and wonder if it is raining on the motor home…We drive back to the motor home and find that it has not rained…We get in and start up the computers to check our e-mails…After reading my mail, it is time to take a nap…Mary Ann said she would rest awhile and would wake me when dinner was ready…I asked her what we were having and she said,”meat balls and spaghetti”…This retirement is really a hard life…Let’s see if any pictures, that I took, turned out for publishing in the blog…Talk to you later…Philip
