    Psalm 23
    A psalm of David.

    The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
    he leads me beside quiet waters,
    he refreshes my soul.
    He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
    Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
    I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
    You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
    You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
    Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
    and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

    Amen

    There’s ongoing entertainment at Old Tucson Studios
    They have it timed so you can take it all in if you wish.
    We took a lot of pictures.

    First thing was the well rehearsed Medicine Show.

    Careful though – you might wind up as part of the show.

    You have to be a skilled photographer to take 2 pictures of a guy
    and catch him blinking both times. Grrrrrrr …

    But the show must go on …

    It looks like the restroom was on the High Chapperal. Maybe we’ll get there. I’m going to suggest to our host and guide that we put this on our agenda. It’s a longish drive from Phoenix, but not impossible.

      They got a few restrooms – can’t have a geezer like me going in the alley.
      It was a fun time though. Didn’t really know what to expect …
      The HEAT is the thing – gotta go when it’s not scorching.

    Looks like a lot of fun! I’m sure it was special to you and Rose. 🙂
