So, after our trip to the play area with S and A and their
little boys, I realized it wasn’t far from the rib place that Mom likes. She
had requested it, which was a shock. So, we zigzagged the windy road to the
restaurant in a nearby town. The place was empty, thankfully, as I am never
sure how Boop will act. She did just fine until we about finished eating, and
then I had to take her out to nurse her.
Mom hadn’t been to the national park nearby. I was so
excited about the prospects of beautiful fall color. She wasn’t enthused about
going, but I talked her into it. It was only about 15 min. from the rib place;
so it made sense to go then. As we climbed up in altitude, things were still
pretty green, which surprised me. However, there was enough change in color to
know it was fall. I really don’t like the scenery as much when it is considered
‘peak’ anyway, as there are so many empty trees.
Even though they had predicted rain, the weather was lovely
and sunny and just a bit cool. We managed to find a parking space reasonably
close to the scenic overlook. I think Mom was really surprised. Well, I don’t
think, I know she was surprised because she said, “I’m really surprised.” She
enjoyed our time there but was a bit sad that her back and joint issues
prevented her from exploring some of the trails. Boop was sleeping most of the
time, but perked up and had a look around at the end. She had just been there a
few weeks ago; so I wasn’t so concerned about her seeing everything.
