Woke yesterday mornin, Kathy asked 'what do you want to do today' ..
..I answered 'Grand Canyon' . . ohh yaa
.. all the years we have lived in AZ and neither of us had ever been.
I mean .. we both graduated from Alhambra High School right on 35th and Camelback
...were married at the St. Simon and Jude Cathedral by the Bishop no less,
..heck I even enlisted in the USAF right here in downtown Phoenix all those years ago.
-and-
All the road trips over the years and Kathy just did not time it right to see a deer
.. I mean, I have seen dozens here n there ..Kathy .. zip ..bummed .. nada.
How bad?
She was downtown shoppin when we were at a friends house in Georgia,
..two deer came right up along the porch and into the bbq pit and up the hillside.
My friend and I both laughed our butts off because Kathy would *never* believe it actually happened.
Well.
At the Grand Canyon I had to STOP to let a deer cross the road right in front of us.
Kathy had to wave it across before it would move .. ROFL
... then we spotted the other 4 just at the tree line.
About 30 feet away.
Watching us.
Turned out we counted *nine* all together eventually.
She was grinnin like a kid.
It was a good day :)
