Palo Duro Canyon

As some of you know I was in Amarillo, TX last week for some work meetings.  Due to flight times and other factors I ended up staying over Friday and had some rare time off while I was out of town.

So I took the opportunity to drive out to Palo Duro Canyon state park.  This canyon is the second largest in the world, the only one bigger is of course the Grand Canyon (now I’ve seen them both).  Palo Duro is much different because you can drive down into and a long way through the canyon.  It is however equally beautiful in its own way.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

 


Apparently I Have Always Been A Male Model

I arrived home this week from my business travels to a birthday card from my sister Nancy.  Apparently she picked it up back in February and had been holding it every since.  The picture on the front of the card caught her eye (for obvious reasons) and she knew it was the card for me.

The card has further bolstered the notion that I should pursue one of my dreams to be a male model.  I can just see the ad campaign now, a picture of me, a little Barry White in the back ground, and underwear with a cape.

Today is 3 years

Yep its hard to believe that three years ago today we moved into what was then our “new house”.  Since then we have remodeled the entire house finishing up the inside during my vacation in October of last year.  Which was not all that bad when you think about all the days I have been on the road.  Technically we have been in the house 1095 days and of those days I have spent about 225 nights on the road.  So if you do the math I have been gone 20% of the time that we have owned the house (29% of the time if you just count business days).

Enough math now the important bit.  Like any good homeowner I have before and after pictures showing all the work.  Sure I could just post the pics but a movie is always better enjoy!
