Puppies left alone!

No, this isn't a story about "puppies!" Although, after watching everyone head for home recently Pat and I have a good idea of what it feels like. A few days ago we said farewell to Bill and Angela and later that morning we escorted Buzz and Darlene North on 27 as they too headed for home! Another good analogy of our morning on that day is to picture the last scene (after the credits) of "Finding Nemo." The scene where all of the Dentist Office Aquarium fish made their "escape." They're floating on the water in the bay, finally free! As they flounder aimlessly in their "plastic baggies" the Blow fish says.... "now what!"

All our close friends, Palm Tree Biker friends and so many other "Snowbird" friends are either home or on their way. I guess the only thing we can do is visit all of our usual lunch Oasis' to refresh our memories of all those great gatherings.

At least I do have one caveat to pass along. The morning they were to leave, I heard that Bill and Angela couldn't get their Chey (GMC) truck started! A call to Buzz (and Darlene) for some assistance made Buzz extremely proud. Buzz bolted from his fifth wheel, cape on and fired up his FORD to rescue a CHEVY (GMC)! Yes Blog Friends, you read it correctly. Buzz is in his glory! Bill's Chevy (GMC) needed to take a hit of battery "juice" from a FORD to get it started. Buzz triumphantly jumped into the seat of his truck and both he and his King Ranch road just a little higher off the road that morning!

I guess a "picture (or two) is worth a thousand words!"





We heard that Buzz and Darlene made it home in good order the next day. Bill and Angela will be stopping along the way and should be home in just over a week.

I've been working and Pat's organizing as we prepare to head north ourselves. But, for now we're like a couple of puppies waiting for their "masters" (read, friends) to return...
