Pelican

Yesterday morning I was looking out the back window while eating breakfast, and I saw this solitary pelican swimming toward our dock. By the time I got my new handy dandy camera, he had swam past the dock and turned around to leave. I stepped out on the sun porch carefully and snapped two photos of him (telephoto). It turned out well enough that I want to share it. There were only two shots, but some how I transferred one of them twice. I am not adept enough at blogging yet that I wanted to try messing with deleting one of the redundant photos, so you are getting more than you paid for.

It is less than one day and we will be leaving for what Clarine calls our "church history tour." It was really a time share promotion from Branson, Missouri that started this whole thing. We got three nights lodging for four for $99. The catch is that we have to listen to an hour and one half time share presentation. Two days ago they called me and told me that if we don't make it to use our rooms they will charge me an extra $50. I asked them what the logic was in that. It costs me $50 more if I don't use the room at all. The response was sort of a nervous, meaningless reply. We added all of the extra church site locations as we planned the trip to Branson. Likely there will be further posts to this blog regarding this trip. gwh
