Gunsmoke and Redemption?

My husband and I love to watch old episodes of Gunsmoke when we eat dinner.  Yep, we are getting old enough that we eat our dinner in front of the television.  This empty nest has caused us to do all kinds of crazy things!!

It is just plain ‘ole good T.V.  Marshall Dillon had such a kind heart and wanted to give everyone a fair shake.  I still wish he and Kitty had gotten together before the end of the show, but that is another blog.

After sitting in the car a few minutes contemplating his plight….he decided to check the nourishment packs. Only one bottle of water left! He had not picked up the second carrier as he left the park. Now what was he going to do? Continue reading Are you Dehydrated? →
