Colorado

Lake San Cristabol outside of Lake City, Colorado.....where eagles fly.

Sisters week

Had a grand time with my sisters in Colorado, as one of us said we shopped and ate our way across Colorado!  I kept teasing the girls they were going to have to rent a trailer to haul home all of their loot! LOL.  This picture was taken in Salida, Colorado at the biggest willow tree I have ever seen. We ate supper in Salida at a Bistro that overlooks the river and serves wonderful food.  That had to be the biggest burrito ever!  Filled with black beans, rice and chicken, with green chill salsa, avocado and pork on the side.....yummo!  The sisters headed home on Saturday and me on Sunday.  Mr. Outdoors and I headed out early on this Memorial Day to decorate our parents and Grandparents graves.  It is always a bittersweet time,  I don't believe you ever get over losing your parents.  I believe that is why God gives us children and grandchildren to lessen the loss of our loved ones.  The valley on the way to Avery peak is the prettiest I have ever seen with the water snaking thru the canyon.  One of my favorite spots in Colorado!  Memorial Monday...enjoy!

Geranium on steroids

My sister and I were in an art studio in Lake City, Colorado and saw this bigger than life Geranium!  I asked the owner what he fed that thing..he said only water...oh sure!

Embroidered quilt topper

This little beauty is a combined effort of my sisters..they have saved all the sweet linens they have found in various thrift stores and used the good parts of said linens to make this sweet table topper.  I would love to make a full sized quilt in this pattern and will will be saving my linens too.  When it is completed i will post a pic.  Love it!

Sisters week.

Sisters week in Colorado.  My two sisters have traveled to Colorado from Kansas and we are spending a week together doing what we love.  We all sew, crochet, knit and love to go antique hunting or exploring the mountains.  Hopefully we will get to do all of the above.  The little cutie on our laps is my niece and she didn't get to come out this time and she will be missed.  Lovely spring weather for our vacation, still in the 30's at night but warming up to the 70's in the daytime...perfect weather if you ask me.  Magical Monday..make it a great one!

Arkansas trip

Mr. Outdoors got the brome hay all done, so we were off to Arkansas yesterday to see his Uncle Roy who was visiting from California.  Roy's sisters were all there too and we had such a good visit and the best catfish lunch!  I don't know why we can't find catfish that good here in Kansas, I was wishing for some more of it on the way home last night!  Someone said they raise the catfish there in Arkansas so maybe that is why it is so good.  We had a beautiful day traveling thru Oklahoma and Arkansas and back home by 8pm, I am gearing up for a week in Colorado with my sisters.  Almost packed to go ---on the road again....Willy nelson song...seems to be my mantra...LOL  Fab Friday!

Crazy things people do

We just couldn't believe this guy painting with his ladder in the truck bed... tied with tie down straps to hold it....scary stuff!
