FRIENDS...FOOD...FUN...

Just another face of the mountain from our patio in Crestone, CO

The Mighty Rio Grande...another river we've seen practically from top to bottom...We were on our way to Creede, CO.

 

Creede, CO

Such a precious little community

 

On the way to Pagosa Springs, CO

Look, Gypsy...Aspens...There is a little orange on the top left, and, of course, the yellow in the center.

The scenery...magnificant

Makes you wonder how the pioneers did it without roads and tunnels...

 

On the road to our friends, Grace and Richard...They live out...and I mean way out from Pagosa Springs.

Grace and Richard

 

More BFF's...Jennings and Cindy.

 

Stopped to see this elk on the way back from Pagosa...He was a nervous Nellie...probably because he was fenced in.

Dem Bones...Dem Bones...Dem Dry Bones

 

Back to the sofa and Kit...Ahhhh

 

Good Morning, Everyone...I was checking my email this morning and finally got one from Vannie.  With all the flooding in Colorado, I was getting a little antsy.  But they are fine and are having a grand time relaxing and visiting old friends.  As for me, I'm trying to stay out of trouble.  There are spies lurking everywhere around here.  I did stay up late one night this week.  I got to talking to the two airstreams on either side of me, and before you could say Jack Robinson, it was midnight.  I am definitely too old for that.  Well, I'm yakking too much.  You guys want to hear how V and D are doing.  So here is their email.  Enjoy!

 

Hi, Gypsy...I decided it is easier to send an email.  The connection with the phone is so iffy.  The weather is been rainy most days since we last talked.  No flooding around here, though.  We did drive over to Creede, CO one evening this week to see a play.  Tickets compliment of Jay and Kathryn. (A big thank you to them) We met up with our friends, Grace and Richard Qualls. I love seeing how small community theaters can pull off productions of this magnitude. The play was Around the World in 80 Days.  Awesome!  I taught with Grace "way back when" at Broadmoor Elementary in Lafayette.  They come out here during the summers and spend the winters in Lafayette.  They live out a long winding dirt road outside of Pagosa Springs.     We followed them back to Pagosa...ate out...slept over...visited.  Great times!  After we left Grace and Richard's, we met up with our friends, Jennings and Cindy Hamilton.  We met them for lunch at a restaurant in Pagosa.  Jennings is the pastor of the Bloomsfield Baptist Church in New Mexico.  We originally knew these friends from East Bayou Baptist Church in Lafayette.  More fun times!  On the way home from Pagosa, we stopped at this ranch that sells all kinds of elk, bison, and deer stuff...frozen meats, jerky, sausage, and more.  We didn't buy much, but did enjoy seeing everything.  We were pooped when we got back to Crestone.  Kit was very glad to see us, and we were glad to see him.  See you soon...and stay out of trouble.  You know I have spies!!!!

Love, Vannie
