Frisky SightSeer

Adventure Location: Decatur, AL.

Laundry was first and them some counter and cabinet cleaning but nothing too serious.  The heat was up to 92 by noon so the Teams just cooled it until late in the afternoon. TheOFM did head over to the golf pitching green for some very needed practice in case BillyBob challenges him to a golf match. That BB is good, don’t let him kid you.

Nothing fun had happened for a blog entry all day. Phooey.  Supper was at a second class BBQ joint in Decatur. The OFM was sorry he stopped in there. Big Bobs BBQ or something like that was the name.  It was a long way from the excellent BBQ at Sparkys in Hatch NM.

When the Truck got us safely back to the Castle, the kids across the street were “working” on a bicycle.  Hmmm there is plenty of time before dark and the temps have dropped into the low 80’s. SightSeer (SS) was retrieved from the back of the Truck and assembled.  Away we go for a little ride.  That little ride turned out to be six miles of wonderful pleasure.

SS was feeling rambunctious from all the time cooped in the back of the Truck.  The first thing SS did was stop at the putting green at the golf course. SS wanted to know all about it.

So after the explanation SS said” Let’s go see some more.” So we headed out on the very nice bike trail alongside the golf course. We made the turn to go behind the golf course and SS stopped and leaned against the fence to ask about the golf course.  More time was spent explaining to SS about how to play golf. SS seemed to be interested.

The trail went on off into the trees for a ways and an opening in the trees gave us this nice view in the evening light. SS certainly likes to stop and look around a lot doesn’t it.

That looks like a good spot to do some fish catching except that the OFM would have to buy a $46 fishing license good until the end of August.

About the time it was time to head back this flash of beauty caught OFM’s eye.  The passion flower bloom was the only two in sight.  However it was quite nice in the shade of the trees.

Now it really was time to head back.  SS is not at this moment equipped for night riding so the Riding Team needs to be off the road by dark. As we came out of the wooded section and back on the crepe myrtle line bike path along the road, SS noticed this sign with lots of flowers.  SS insisted on another picture in the dim light.  It surprised the OFM how bright the camera made the picture seem.  So SS was posed in front of the flowers for a nice picture.

As the OFM moved away and got the camera ready, SS decided to get frisky again and climb up on the sign. The picture was taken and the OFM scolded SS for misbehaving like that. Ridiculous bicycle!

The rest of the trip back to the Castle was very pleasant since a nice breeze had formed. The ride on SS gave the Team a good attempt at trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
