Postcards &
Emails
Every night, Dick downloaded
the day's pictures and e-mailed them off to Robert. As the rest of
our friends were not in contact with us, Robert took it upon himself to
"inform" them of what is happening on our trip. His witty sense
of humour had them in stitches and I want to share his e-mails with
you.
Hi all, Some
guy named e-Revere just stopped off at our ranch with a package for
me. His horse "PC" looked like it hadn't slept for days!
Apparently Linn has been searching for a new cat-hand, but she has
been looking in all the wrong places. |

|
She checked
every crevice in this picture and the results she came up with are
the following: This guy looks drier than the place she
found him. |

|
She then went
on to Deadwood. Now I know
why they call it Deadwood and I
bet it wasn't about the trees. |

|
Her chances
were getting better when she entered Buffalo Bill's
territory. His mom says he is going to be a fine lad when
he gets off the mechanical rocking horse and onto the "real
thing" |
 |
I don't know
what Linn said to the horse, but
it must have been something
about the Rodeo cowboy that made it laugh like
that! |

|
She still has a
way to go to find a replacement for Cowboy Bob at the Lazy R CATtle
Ranch. Everybody knows that the good guys wear white
hats. |

|

|
Maybe she has
better luck before she reaches the Denver junction. If your
CATtle shows are anything to go by, the boys that go there
can't hog-tie a Munchkin. |
I'm expecting
e-Revere again this morning, so I'll keep you posted.

I
laughed so much at the two pictures of "Cowboy Bob". Heaven alone
knows where he dug out the old checked shirt, and to pretend that his
cricket hat is the real thing?! Poor Buffie and Billy ... They must
have wondered what he was up to!
We couldn't wait to
download his next e-mail ...
Howdy folks,
I've heard via e-Revere that the Wagon West has holed up for a few
days in Yellowstone. I know all about Yellowstone - that's the
stuff you find in clumping litter! |
Linn says the
sleeping arrangements are comfortable ... |

|
... although
they don't offer much protection from the locals
... |

|
They can at
last take a hot bath thanks to some guy named Old
Faithful. Nancy, Linda and Linn really look squeaky clean
in this picture. |
 |
Then they
checked out the menu ... |

|
... and relaxed
in Custer Park afterwards |

|
Linn saw real
snow falling for the first time in her life and quickly chose a
Christmas tree to send home. I wonder if she realizes
that the snow will melt long before it gets
here? |
 |
Anyway, it was
quite cold here last night and when this darn FROST thaws I'm going
to feed the cats. 
e-Revere says he has to go back now, so I'll close
off.
Bye for now, "Bob" |
When we received a phone call from Sue
telling us about Robert's latest email and the picture of him sitting
elbow-deep in snow, my first thought was that he had used up all my
washing powder to create fake snow! I had forgotten all about his
picture when he was young and sexy but still travelling with his
momma and daddy!
Jill also shared her wonderful sense of humour
and sent Robert and our friends the following email ...

Hi Everybody, I just
got this picture of the girls. It was the last day of their
trip so they look pretty weary. The mountains have been
rough on them --it did wonders for their figures but really
took a toll on their faces and teeth and you just can't find an
Avon lady up in the mountains when you really need
one! Wonder why they've all decided to start dressing
like that? Maybe they are really competing for the most
handsome
cowboy?

... and Robert received this postcard from Nancy
...

|
Dear Robert, Linn is a
changed woman! We took her to Walmart for Wranglers and hiking
boots. A real outdoorsy girl. If you don't recognise
her, she is the 3rd one from the right. Fire the gardener ...
She has dirt under her long nails
now.

A couple of weeks before
I left for the USA, our group of friends had an Internet discussion
on Jackalopes and how we should approach them when we see them
in the parks. Only until a USA shop assistant told me that it
was all a joke, did I realise that the girls were pulling my
leg! |

|
I got this from Nancy
... |

|
However ... when a
salesman sold me this postcard, I didn't believe that Estes Park had
furry fish! Or ... Do
they? |

|
Robert couldn't stop
laughing when he got this
postcard! |
