DAY 38: Our Boy And His Doggles.......

DAY 38: Estes Park, CO - August 7, 2010

My boy and his Doggles.......

Today we promised ol' Murphy a ride on the trike.......he LOVES riding on the trike with us; not so crazy about wearing his Doggles, though.....

He always starts bucking like a bronco when we try to put them on him....shaking his head violently, grabbing them with his paws.....even bribing the cat to help him get them off......such a drama king.....but once they're on and he actually keeps them on, its funny to see him check everything out as though he's never seen any of it before......it's a whole new world out there with his Doggles on......such a dork.

We headed up the winding road behind the RV park, Murphy in Chuck's lap behind me, his front feet up on my shoulders, checking out everything that moved........he was just thrilled to be hot dogging it on the motorcycle with us!  And what attitude he has with his Doggles on!!!

We made a little convenience store stop for Chuck to get his daily chocolate milk when Murphy met this look-alike friend.......They were comparing sunglasses, how much they paid for them, what brand they were, etc......exchanged email addresses, said their goodbye's and off we went.....

As we traveled around Estes Park, we had our fair share of spectators pointing and smiling,  some with thumbs up, as the three of us passed by........



All in all, a good day......a very good day.  It didn't rain on us AT ALL today......we have new, great neighbors next to us from Salt Lake City, as well as new neighbors across the road who live; are you ready for this; at Lake Fork which is spitting distance from where we live in Texas.  Chuck and the guy know a lot of the same people from home.......Just makes you scratch your head, doesn't it??......

And to my sister, Debbie, who I promised to pick something up for at each Goodwill store I visited on this trip, I've decided to give you a "preview" of one of the items I've purchased for you so far.....

I don't want to see this in your Garage Sale anytime soon......
