Going south

My son Daniel told us about this "giant pair of legs" in the middle of a field in Amarillo, so of course we had to find it! There is a reason the artist put them here, actually. There was a building here way back, apparently a very pretty one, and after it fell to ruin, Mary Shelley, the author of "Frankenstein", wrote a poem about the ruins and says in the poem that all that remains is "a giant pair of legs."

Would you believe this is a cast of the only known Tyrannosaurus Rex footprint? This is at Sugarite Canyon State Park near Raton, New Mexico. Imagine that! The footprint was found on that land. As you can see, the footprint is from Jan's feet to her waistline. Rather awe-inspiring, don't you think?

Here are Jan and our precious babies taking a walk at Sugarite Canyon State Park.


No, we didn't manage to escape the snow before we got south! Here is what we saw out our window one morning in Colorado. The lake behind our trailer was frozen over as well. Time to head south!!!

Just Some Fun Photos
We got together in Boulder with four of our Boomer friends, which is always fun. In the foreground is John and Julie Black, who live nearby (but a world away) in the mountains above Denver. It's always cool at their house! Kathy and Loren Webster were visiting them. Kathy and Loren have both had major health issues in the past few years, so we were VERY happy to see them looking well.
Do you remember how Jan's wedding rings got too tight, and I had to cut them off? Well, we finally got around to taking them to a jeweler for repair and resizing. She says they look better now than they did 13 years ago, because the jeweler really shined them up.The girls, Sophie and Hannah, LOVE to wear the tutus their mommy made for them. They swirl around the living room until dizziness makes them hit the floor. Jan says they are doing the "Downward Facing Dog" yoga position.
Here they are "swirling" with their delighted grandparents looking on. Sophie is in the pink and Hannah is wearing purple.

A Happy Birthday Day!
A Nice Hot Day in Colorado

Yes, it might have been hot down in Loveland, but up here in Rocky Mountain National Park, it's another story! This wall of snow is taking its good old time to melt, as you can tell by the fact that there is graffiti on it!

The beautiful Rocky Mountains, as seen out our truck window on the way up to the summit in Rocky Mountain National Park.

A Visit to Boulder and Cheyenne

This guy was parked and his little dog was just SO INTERESTED in what was going on! It's like he was saying, "Hey, whassup?"

At the train depot in downtown Cheyenne, which is all restored with a big plaza out front, there are lots of big boots, saddles, etc. Cheyenne is a great cowboy town!
