Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Sunset in the Park

The Campground is almost a peninsula. Lake Osborne is a large lake to our east. Lagoons and wetlands and an airport are to the west. Wildlife and beautiful sights abound. Last night I watched an alligator swim in Lake Osborne. Lock up those little dogs. While Wyoming sunsets are the best I have seen, these pastels are very nice too. I guess different is the term- both are as they should be and inspiring.
The day was not as I expected but it was nice. It was supposed to hold a dinner with Jason and Lori but Jason has been battling a cold for a couple of days. I appreciate not being exposed. I went to Boynton to do laundry and gussie up but the call came so I went to the Golden Corral for a "filet" and came home. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Had evening coffee with the neighbors as we have done the past few nights. We spike the coffee or have a little liqueur on the side, snacks, and gabbing.

Fernand and Yvette dropped by to say goodbye on their way to Tampa. That was nice of them. Had a couple of medium bike rides today. I have been taking pictures around the park the last couple of days. As usual it helps me "see" what is around me.
