July 8th
Last night I met up with son Troy for his surprise birthday dinner. He’s not often surprised but his wife, Simone, did a good job of pulling it off.
Right now, I am in my car with my daughter and grandchildren and we’re going to spend a week at my ranch in New Mexico. I am thrilled. It’s been too long for all of us. Malcolm’s been saying how much he’s missed the ranch. My friends from South Georgia, Sharon and Howell Ferguson, will join us tomorrow. They, too, are avid fisherpersons and I have a Guide lined up for them.

One of my favorite horses, a black and white Tennessee Walker named Geronimo, died last week and was buried in the horse pasture…the second horse burial this year. This has brought home the finiteness of things, including moi. I feel confident that my dog Tulea will live for another decade since she’s small.
This week, I intend to ride, hike, fish, write, play with my grandkids.
This will be my last blog for a week. I’m taking time off to update my site in order to better service you, my blog family. I am really excited about it and look forward to hearing what you think.
Till then, adios.

Your New Mexico ranch looks awesome! Your new site is great, but some of your pictures lost their captions. Do you really do all the blogging?
