more explanation

The pictures came up from bottom to top in the post. So the last is first. The very first picture you may have to zoom in the see much. it is of an area where the Native Americans sell there wares. They have to put their request in a lottery system and are told when they can come sell their wares. It is mostly Indian jewelry.

Vacation













This is about all we saw of the mountains in Colorado since it was a dreary day.

Just as we are leaving Norfolk on 2/19, 8 am, it started snowing. It didn't really amount to much as we drove out of it until we got to Limon, Co. The plan was to get to Colorado Springs for the night. As we started out of Limon the snow picked up and the wind started blowing. Not wanting to get caught out in the middle of nowhere we turned around and spent our first night in Limon. One of our plans was to tour the Olympic training center, but when we got into the Springs it started snowing/raining so we decided we better keep going south. The second day we made it to Sante Fe.

St Francis of Assissi's church is in Old Town Sante Fe. It was Sunday morning when we there so I only stepped into the entry way and snapped a picture. The statues are around the Church. I tried to match up the plaques with the pictures. Don't know how this is going to come out.

The last building is the first mission house in Sante Fe. I can't remember the name of it.

Trip

Just got back from a 2-week trip to see some of America. We went from Norfolk, Ne. to Scottsdale, Az from there to San Antonio, Tx. and back to Nebraska through Oklahoma and Kansas. I can cross some things off my Bucket List. Watching the PGA tournament in Scottsdale and watching some of it from #16 the wildest par 3 on the tour.
Also visited Sante Fe, Albuquerque, Tombstone and San Antonio. Some of our plans were altered because of the weather, but we still saw a lot of country. Will try to get some pictures up later.

Let's think spring





A couple of pictures of the baby geese that chose Fairplay Golf Course as their home last summer. There were 2 batches about a week apart one of 5 and one of 8. They are so cute when they are little, but it sure doesn't take them long to grow up a poop all over everything. Luckily we have a local rule that you can lift,clean and place any ball that lands in a goose poop.

Don't know what order these pics will post. The tree is just one of the pretty trees that I hope to see blooming again soon.
