Yesterday found me and The Man keeping the roads hot; some days are just like that. You ride and ride and no matter how comfortable the ride may be, there comes a time when you're itching to stop, step outside, and just be still. So yesterday, somewhere in beautiful state of Wyoming, we found a shady Rest Area. I made a couple of sandwiches, we spread out a blanket, and had ourselves a picnic.

Dayle,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely simple pleasure! Looks like everyone is having a great time.
Dayle,
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely and peaceful there. Nothing better than a quiet picnic in a shady rest area. I am so glad you are enjoying your time away...sometimes that's all that is needed to get us back on track. Stay safe.

Oooo! Hope you're enjoying big sky country! Will you be stopping at Yellowstone? I've fond memories of inspirational visits to the National Park when we lived in Idaho. Simple pleasures sharing the wonder of God's creation with the children - when they were children.
ReplyDeleteJoy!

ReplyDeleteA lovely idea. Looks like Diesel is enjoying every moment of the trip.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having a great time. I do hope you will be able to see Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks - the beauty of God's creation abounds there.

A picnic in summer. Hard to beat that. Is that your motorhome in the background? Sweet ride. blessings, k
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have the shade of a tree and the great outdoors to enjoy. Safe travels and happy trails! Tammy
ReplyDeleteI haven't been participating in Simple Pleasures for a few months. I've really missed it and am so glad to be back.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE picnics!! They are one of my delights in life. For some reason, food just tastes better on a blanket under the shade of a tree.
By the way, I know I-80 across Wyoming quite well. (I'm assuming you're on the interstate.) I live in Idaho, and we've taken that trek across I-80 3 times. The sun was always shining...and the wind was always blowing.
Blessings and safety on your travels.
Love,
Patti
Impromptu picnics are the best!

I love your simple pleasures party. Sometimes we just need to focus on joy without all the "doing." My simple pleasure this week is the joy found in "stolen" moments with the Word to give me a shot of caffeine for my spirit.
ReplyDeleteYou made me want to go on a picnic!

That is a simple please I would love! My husband and went on an impromptu picnic recently. We ended up at the softball fields and sat outside the fence and watched the games while we ate dinner and spent some time off by ourselves.
ReplyDeleteDayle, what a lovely little spot you picked to rest up a while and relax with your Man!
ReplyDelete"Stop and be still" - you've just got to do it sometimes!
Love picnics :-)
Have a blessed week..Trish
Oh Dayle,
ReplyDeleteisn't that just what summer's about - taking leisurely little trips here and there.
Spreading the picnic blanket for lunch and enjoying the scenery is the icing on the cake.
I must come back to your 'Simple Pleasures' soon - I've only ever done one!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Love picnics, haven't enjoyed one for years. Looks like the two of you are living it up. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats Impromptu!
ReplyDeleteHi Dale Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful share. I love this carefree life, hitting the road, stopping for a picnic when you want, and moving at your own pace, in whatever direction you feel at that day and time. Wonderful...Thank you for taking me along on this picnic as well.
This is the Miracle Weekend makeover. I am one of the hosting sites. For every comment left, Guideposts magazine will pay a dollar, to the next cancer makeover patient. Please stop by and read the story about 9 year old Charlie, and bless me with a comment. Out goal between the 4 or 5 blogs is 5,000. I know we can do it. I would appreciate it, if you pass the word around to as many friends as possible.
Thank you sweetie for a wonderful post. I love it. Have a glorious weekend. Country hugs from Phoenix, Sherry
OK. I admit it. I am actually jealous of this one. I think the whole thing sounds just perfect.
