Awake: 6:02am Temp 46 Clear Overnight @ Grand Junction
Throughout the day, all of our kids call Kathy & wish her a “Happy
Mother’s Day.”
We invite Marge & Tom to our motorhome to begin celebrating Mother’s Day
with Kathy’s famous sourdough pancake breakfast with all the trimmings and
Kathy muffins. Because it’s Mother’s Day, I clean all the dishes with some
help from Fisher & Paykel.
Tom & Marge leave around noon & we will join them later.
While Kathy talks with Nick, I clean our front windshield, side windows &
mirrors + get some other things ready for traveling tomorrow.
@ 3:00pm we visit Marge & Tom @ their house where Tom & I sit outside in
their game & flower preserve to watch the birds. I had brought my bird
books along to clarify a few theories & Tom had his telescope set up for
closer viewing. One item of interest we did confirm from our bird books &
watching closely is that the Mourning Doves are able to drink water
through suction. They along with only a few other species are able to dip
their bill in the water & draw it into their throat. Other birds scoop up
water & point their bill skyward to let the water run down. It was a very
relaxing & informative afternoon.
7:00pm Dinner @ Marge & Tom’s place: Chicken & rice casserole, broccoli,
Rudi’s tomatoes, Charlotte’s fruit salad, raw veggie plate & ranch
dressing. We watch home movies of Kathy’s parents visit with Marge & Tom
and family at Easter, 1984 and of our family visit with them in the summer
of 1984; so interesting and nostalgic.
Back to the bus @ 10:45pm. No movie tonight as we discuss our next
destination & watch the weather channel. We are aware of a strong front
moving eastward from the Pacific coast with cooler temps & lots of rain.
