Thinking

Just thinking and contemplating, I do miss blogging, met so many wonderful people, some I am linked up with on facebook.

Do I come back or not?

Maybe just weekly for now just can't seem to decide, mind you I can't decide on much these days, must be my age!!

Not back but........

I am not back blogging but if anyone wants to catch up with me I can be found on facebook just search for me Kate Langford, oh if you do want to add me as a friend just let me know your blogger name please x

Closed

Got to take a break for a while a lot of things happening and I don't seem able to find the time to spend on the computer.

As soon as I am back I will of course call and see you all.

Till further notice

Till then Happy Blogging, be good, be safe, love you all x

MENTAL HOSPITAL PHONE MENU

Hi, I really don't seem to be blogging much at all, one reason is that himself is really moaning that I sit on the couch with the lap top on my knee, that bit is OK, he says it is the tap tap tapping when I type. I have tried to do it quietly, but you just can't can you! So I tend to leave the blogging until he is out or upstairs, which isn't very often hence the fact that I am not blogging often!

Thank you to those who called over and said hi to me mate over at dogberry, she is panicking a bit because she hasn't fathomed out how to get onto your blog page's, so be patient with her.

Also I forgot to tell you how the little operation went on my ear! Well I am pleased to report that the worst thing was the local, they put drops into the ear canal and that was definitely an ouch situation! They drained the fluid out of my ear then made a tiny slit and placed the grommet in, all over and done with in 10 minutes how good was that!

Am starting with a sore throat and runny nose, everytime I blow my nose I get a whislting sound in my ear, hey and it isn't just me who can hear it, it is driving Mr Milo mad!!!

More America Photos

Leaving Vegas we headed towards our one night stop at the Grand Canyon Lodges. First call was the Hoover DamLoved the fact that we were on the border of Nevada and Arizona, and also there was an hours time difference! Driving through the dessert the wind was wild, plenty of tumbleweed flying about too. Needing a coffee break we came off interstate 40 and by luck we ended up here.Back on track and off to the Grand Canyon, we fueled up at what must be one of the oldest Gas stations that I have ever seen, and one of the cheapest only $2.99 a gallon! Yes folks in England very, very cheap!

We got our Lodge keys and followed the instructions, we got lost, back for more instructions, we got lost again!!!!! Third time lucky and we made it! By now it was dark and it was cold, we walked to the restaurant in the dark, no torch, no street lights and was hoping to see or at least hear some wildlife, but not to be!

Only one downside to staying in the Lodges at this time of year IT WAS BLOODY COLD!
I have so many photos of the Canyon so hope you enjoy a few of them.

I just do not know how to describe the Grand Canyon to you, amazing, beautiful, peaceful, pure beauty at it's best. We stayed at the South Rim, elevation is 7,000 feet , the North Rim is only 10 miles away as the crow flies but 215 miles by road, it is also 1,000 feet higher, and colder!

We left the Grand Canyon and heading for Lake Havasu, passing the one and only Fred Flintstone!!!!

So so pleased that transport has improved can you imagine driving all those miles in this LOL.

Lake Havasu is the home of the original London Bridge. Robert McCulloch imported the bridge stone-by-stone, think he thought he had bought the Tower Bridge!

We left Lake Havasu the next day heading to our final stop Los Angeles, but yet again we stopped off on the way!

Nomophobia

Himself came across an article in the local evening paper the other night, NONOPHOBIA, what the hell is that, he said it is what I am suffering from, me suffering, what the hell are you on about!

Well apparently Nonophobia is a new phobia for high pressure 21st century living............the fear of being without your mobile phone, it affects around 13 million Britons, all of whom see stress levels soar when they leave their mobile phone at home by mistake and panic because they might be missing something!

Well excuse me I didn't leave my phone at home, I took it with me, it was just too scared to fly and instead of telling me it decided to jump out of my pocket and stay at the airport!!!

I am suffering from stress due to the on going holiday insurance claim sorting out me mobile, so, so slow, the forms I had to fill in were a laugh!

They wanted to know the company that insured me, er that would be the same company I am putting in a claim with der!

Proof that I had paid for the said insurance, er wouldn't be insured if I didn't pay der!

Proof of my holiday tickets, er just had it and got back how can I show you my tickets der!

Oh well hope they stop pratting about and get me a new phone cause in the meantime not only am I paying a monthly contract on a service I can't use I am also suffering from NOMOPHOBIA, mind you think my mates are enjoying the peace and quite!!!!

David Blaine Test

This is amazing

DAVID BLAINE TEST

This is creepy!

Think of a letter between
A and W
.
Repeat it
out loud as
you scroll down
.
.
.

Keep going
.
.
.
Don't stop
.
.
.
.
Think of an
animal
that begins
with that letter
.
.
.

Repeat it
out loud
as you
scroll down
..
.
.
.
.
Think of either
a man's or a woman's
name
that
begins
with the
last letter
in the
animal's name
.
.
.
.
.
.
..

Almost
there
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Now
count out
the letters
in that name
on the fingers
of the hand
you are not
using to
scroll down
.
.
.
Take the
hand you
counted with
and hold it out
in front of you
at face level
.
.
.
Look at your
palm
very closely
and
notice
the
lines
on
your
hand
.

Do the lines
take the
form of the
first letter
in the
persons name?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Of course they

don't !
.
.
Now smack
yourself in the head,
get a life,
and
quit playing
stupid
games!

Vegas and Grand Canyon

Next stop was Vegas, my oh my what a place Vegas is, it is full of life you could just sit and people watch all day, but alas we have no time, too much to see and do.

Vegas from the helicopter.

The Eiffel Tower, half the size of the real one, beautiful, we never made the trip up this in Paris so we went for it in Vegas.

A taste of Venice

and New York
Vegas at night from the Stratosphere, 110 floors up, 866 feet high, very,very windy, amazing views

We had pre-booked a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, then landing at the Ranch for breakfast. What can I say about this but WOW, if you get the chance to do it then please go for it.

our transport for the morning.

Yep that is me playing at Cowboys and Indians!!!!

and that is himself being a Cowboy!
Spirit Mountain, this is where the Indian's Spirits go,

So that was Vegas and the Grand Canyon, next port of call is Grand Canyon Lodges via the Hoover Dam, and a detour on the way, tune in next week to see what we saw!!
