Sunday: We were taking family photos and one of the shots was of just me and Dudette. Chew piped up and said that it should be called “Moments in Menopause”. God will get him for that!
Here are pics of NG1 and NG2, not taken at the picture taking event, but later during the visit:
And as you can tell, the younger generation is ignored by everyone - LOL.

Monday: Went to workout facility that Cop Car uses. It is affiliated with a large company, so has a huge selection of machines. I love getting to use it when there. Cop Car and Dudette used the swimming pool while I tried out various machines. I also used fee weights and it was definitely the best workout I got while on vacation.
After the workout, Cop car dropped me back at the hotel, where I picked up WS and we headed to Casa Cop Car. On the way, we stopped at a Dillon’s (like Shaw’s here in the NorthEast) to pick up a few items. As we were checking out, the cashier asked if my name was “Bogie”. I looked at him, puzzled how he would know my name. Then I looked at him closer, looked at the name tag, which only had the letter “D” on it, and looked at him again. I suddenly realized it was someone I had worked with back in 1981-82 at a fast food joint.
We gabbed for a few moments; he is married with 4 children, several grandchildren, his mother has passed, where he lives etc. There were people in line, so the conversation only lasted a couple of minutes. I was happy to see that D was doing fine and still the cheerful person that I had known way back when.

Wednesday: Our day to leave and head to the Salina area of the state to see WS’s family. We stopped at Gander Mountain, which we don’t have here in New Hampshire, because I wanted to check it out. While there, we bought ammo, targets and ear plugs for use with WS’s family. As an aside, I have never seen so many signs against CCW holders in my life. In fact, I haven't even seen any such signs in Massachusettes (not that I spend a lot of time in Mass, but I don't spend a lot of time in Kansas either).
We stopped to see Dudette and dropped off our recyclables (plastic and glass bottles from juice, water and beer), and to see the new range. We chatted for a bit then left to visit the Wichita Harley shop. It was a really nice day (low 60’s and sunny) and we wished we had time to rent a bike and go for a ride. Instead, we looked at bikes and bought a couple of T-shirts, then headed on our way to Salina.
Bogie--Good photos! Is that an asparagus spear that Dudette is giving NG2? He really seemed to enjoy gnawing at them. Tip for parents of teething babies: Give 'em a spear of (raw!) asparagus on which to gum. (I'm sure this applies to a bunch of your readers, Bogie!)

Good eye - that is an asparagus spear in Dudette's hand.
"I'm sure this applies to a bunch of your readers, Bogie." Are you saying all my reader's must be teething babie's? LOL

Bogie--It's either that, sarcasm, or irony. ; )
