All caught up with work, Thonnie and I decided to go visit our moms and friends in the Rocky Mountains before proceeding on to Nevada for a visit with our grandchildren. Taking the most direct route to Rawlins, WY we arrived May 1 and spent a couple days visiting with my Mom, brother Casey and his wife Fiorella. We had not met her before and we really like her. Casey is building a new home in the hills at the edge of town and is busy as always.
Grandma Carol is working - of course! She leaves home at 6AM, seven days a week to open the doors at Aunt Christine's laundromat. New machines, lots of repairs and several tons of laundry keep the entire clan busy.
Moving on we spent a day and night with Grandma Dee, who is looking good, feeling good and is on a mission to enhance her life through positive change! I for one really enjoyed visiting with her. Uncle Mike had the day off so I accompanied him to Wall Mart on a tool buying excursion!
Our next stop was Colorado Springs to visit Ray and Nancy. Nancy who is always good company, sees the brighter side of life and makes me laugh often. Ray, who is also good company, is also a talented artist and has an extensive collection of Anazazi art and artifacts.
He kept me enthralled with his knowledge of these bygone peoples and their modern relatives during our visit.
As an additional highlight we drove out and toured the fog shrouded Bishops Castle. One mans accomplishment with wrought iron and stone.
AMAZING!
From “The” Springs we drove west over the mountains through Breckenridge shooting photos from the car and onto I70 Westbound after a lunch stop in Mountain town of Frisco .
One of many cabins in Friscos cabin museum.
Dropping in to Las Vegas through the steep sandstone canyons—we arrived late and exhausted from the day. During our visit we attempted to divide our time between Jason and Jonathans families and really enjoyed our visits with Krissy and Lana. (not forgetting to mention the grandkids).
During our stay Trevor skipped class and we took a day trip to Zion National Park with him. We had a grand time walking the trails and wading in the Virgin River. Upon our return, he excitedly told his parents about the days great adventure, confirming what I suspected all along..................he is one great kid!
