Slideon Inn; The Price Is Right



It was a joyful "reaching of their destination" last night when Dusty and the Gang rolled on into Edson, Kansas, just inside the state border, for a night's stop-over at the SlideonInn.

My sisters Barbara, Laurie and my brother Kevin had been sitting most of the day after leaving Cody, Wyo., while Dusty stood inside the horse trailer throughout long drive through Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado.

So, a comfortable, convenient and classy place to stay, where peeps could sleep not far away from their tired horse friend, turned out to be a very grand finale to a long day of driving. 

The lady who runs the place even owns a zebra, so travelers get a cosmopolitan experience as well as a pretty fancy place to stay.

Barbara told me this morning that Dusty did not want to load into the trailer.  

Can you blame him?  He probably figured that his night in the SlideonInn was about as good as it was gonna get, so why leave.

Anyway, they're driving down the road bound for Tulsa today.  My sisters said today's trip should last no more than seven hours.  Then, they'll pull in to Tulsa Expo Square where the show will start later this week. 

Their arrival today gives them two days to get grounded and acquainted with the facility.  Plus, Dusty will get to loosen up from his four days of travel. 







In the meantime, while Dusty and his gang of three peeps were putzing on down the road toward their destination in Western Kansas, over in Los Angeles, Annie Love was hoping to to hear, "Annie Love, Come on Down." 

She planned well for her lifelong dream of visiting the set of the game show and hoping to win a spot as a contestant.  The latter was not to be, but she did receive a shout-out from host Drew Carey who saw his photo (with Annie) on the front of her T-shirt.

Timing couldn't have been better as Drew Carey's Seattle Sounders MLS soccer squad had just sealed the deal for this year's play-offs. And, to have a diehard fan in the audience---that should have sealed Annie's deal, but . . . maybe next time. 

Anyway, she was pretty thrilled to show of her Sounders scarf in one more venue.  I'm guessing that there is not a human in the whole wide world who has promoted the Sounders to the degree Annie has----too many countries to mention and now a game show added. 

While all that was going on, Bill was headed for the Moyie and I took off for a lovely afternoon of chasing down more fall photos.  There has been so much beauty in the air that I am a day behind on posting the many gorgeous scenes this season has provided. 

This morning's collection varies from the Pack River area, to Upper Samuels, to North Kootenai Road, McArthur Lake and finally the Lovestead. 

Once more, I'll repeat:  we are blessed.  

Adding to that, I'd say we live in a fascinating neighborhood.  While heading over to my sisters' this morning to feed their doggies, I pulled on to Center Valley Road to meet our neighbor Jim who was walking his three pups.

While stopping to talk with him, I noticed rigs coming out of the farm on the corner (the old Burt place). Folks from the "Radio Flash" movie set were taking off, as their filming at the farm has been completed.  

While talking to Jim, I saw that he was talking to his girlfriend in England.  

So, he held the phone inside the car window and I got to hear firsthand about one person's experience when yesterday's Hurricane Ophelia blew through the British Isles. 

All this neighborhood activity happened before 6:30 a.m. We may live in the country, but it's rarely dull out here. 

Enjoy the photos below, and Happy Tuesday.
