CODY WYOMING

It is so much fun when you see someone you have not seen in 25 years and you pick up a conversation like you had just been at a pajama party a few weeks ago!!  Jeanette and Joe have no changed - they remain the same nice people they were when I fixed them up in 1957!  Cody is very pretty - wide open spaces as written about in cowboy songs!!  The drive from Reno was through another set of mountains and, honestly, the mountains are all looking the same - only some still have snow!  I had to come through Yellowstone National Park, which is beautiful - even had "buffalo roaming" on the highway.  That is kind of scary because they are really, really big.  However, a million other people were either driving through Yellowstone or looking for a campsite because it took over an hour to go 10 miles!!   When I got to the sign that said "Welcome to Cody", I called Jeanette to say according to the gps, I would be there in about an hour.  I left the message on her answering machine.  As soon as she came back into the house, she called me wondering how I could be an hour away since Cody is only 6 miles wide.  (You know, it's hell to get old!!)  I forgot that I had come back through another time zone and unlike my cell phone, my car clock does not change automatically.  So, the gps was giving me the correct time, but my auto clock was still on Reno time.  So, I was actually about a minute and a half from her.  Anyway, I got there, we had great visit - and I was off again.  Heading toward starting a life.  Thanks for checking.  Ricci
