Well, the kids finally decided they want to go to Yosemite on the way home. With a scenic drive please and thank you. So we spent last night in a lovely motel in a small small town called Long Creek. There was a deer eating near the sign when I came out of the office.

Then this morning I go outside to potty the dogs and there's a deer eating next to the parking lot. Some kids passed by loaded down with their school gear and they didn't pause or comment on the deer. Just business as usual. When the deer noticed me, she actually came towards me...so I talked to her and told her how beautiful she is. She was so curious about me...like a chicken checking for treats. She circled one way, then another with her huge ears pricked towards me and those giant eyes glued to me. I think someone must offer the deer here goodies and it gave me a magical moment to start my day.

Silly me wishes I'd had my camera to capture it ...though if I'd moved that much, I might have lost the moment....lol.
@Gammas Bearded Babies I'm entrusting them with planning out about 1,700 miles...eeks!
Sorry I'm not more responsive on everyone's posts! Love ya all though!
