Busy, busy, busy.
The good news is that I made an appointment for a mobile RV repairman to come to my daughter's house and put new brakes on the Arctic Fox. The bad news is that he's so busy he won't be able to do it until June 2.
I could've guessed he was going to be busy. In the Spring, most people are getting work done on their RVs to prepare them for the Summer travel season. If I had called him in January, he probably could've gotten right on it.
Other than that, it has been pretty quiet around here. The grandkids are in school all day, my son-in-law is working all day, and my daughter is on a four-day business trip to Minnesota. That doesn't leave much time for excitement around the house. In fact, I was so desperate for entertainment that I went outside and took pictures of some flowers, of which there were very few, but it gave me something to do.
My son-in-law's mom, who lives in North Carolina, is going to spend the month of July in Colorado, living at the house and visiting. That gives me an opportunity to take a Colorado vacation during July and see some of the sites I haven't seen for a while, and that sounds like great fun to me.
The only downside is that July is the worst time to run around Colorado, especially in the mountains. Everywhere will be overflowing with tourists, and far too many of them will be in their RVs, taking up every available camping space. And that even includes boondocking spots, since boondocking in the Colorado mountains in the summer is exceedingly popular and just about the only way to avoid the overflowing, expensive, and stressful commercial RV parks.
But I don't begrudge the tourists enjoying Colorado. After all, I made a comfortable living off tourists for many years, and in fact, I enjoy seeing people having fun in the mountains. The incredible views, the glorious sunrises and sunsets, the Colorado wildlife—all of that adds up to unforgettable memories for every family that visits him him him himere.

This flower reminded me of stars in the sky.
Sometimes I have to get down low to take a picture, but when doing so, I always run the risk of not being able to get back up again without a lot of snap, crackle, and pop from what few operable joints I still have.
