Gateway Arch In St. Louis

We took the ride in the Arch today. It was windy so it was very "wobbly" up there.

Don't Fiddle With The Knobs!

Aat the hotel in Kansas the air/heat unit in our room didn't work . My brother called the front desk to ask how to operate the air conditioner.The front desk said there was nothing they could do, so my sister got on the phone and told them to credit her account. His response was, (in a Brittish accent), "With all due respect ma'am, if ur man hadnt been fiddling with your knobs...yada yada yada..." Well, I don't remember the rest of what he said but laughed really hard. (seriously, would you remember what was said after a beginning like that? ROFL) She responded politely and when she ended the conversation we all laughed hysterically for a while, then contemplated moving to a different room or going to the previous hotel(with fabulously padded mattresses and fluffy comforters and down filled pillows and a fireplace in the living room and a big breakfast and many more comfort features) or
stay put and deal with the heat. We decided to stay, opened the window, and prayed for a breeze.

45th Parallel

Monday was a beautiful day for a road trip. Zac and Spencer and I drove up to our friends ranch to pick Bash up. We had fun! Zac and Spencer posed under the 45th Parallel sign. It is half way between the equator and the north pole. We had a difficult time finding the line representing the 45th Parallel on the map we had that day. Weird.

Zac Carries Sierra

Sierra followed Zac everywhere he went. He worried that he may step on her, so he decided to carry her. She was lovin' it.

Sierra Sitting On Zacs Lap

Zacs chicken, Sierra, is more like an affectionate puppy than a bird. She follows us around all day. When we stand still she will stand on our feet. When we sit down she will hop onto our laps and sit with us. She like being pet and even enjoys being carried around under Zacs arm.
