Where do I begin...


On a trip like this, when you see and do so much...I just don't know where to begin. I posted some of my favorite pictures...only three of over a thousand. I had never seen mountains, cliffs or canyons before and frankly it all took my breath away. I kept thinking that this was so beautiful. I know WI is gorgeous...and in this trip(after the horrer that is Nebraska and Southern Wyoming)...hmm (no offense to the natives of those states...its just not my bag of cheetos) ... I have discovered I have a great love for trees. But anyway, I saw all this beauty and my head nearly exploded to think how gorgeous heaven will be...and not only that...but Jesus will be there....sigh. Heaven will have great big trees, mountains and huge lakes. Lots of wild life...I hope...only it won't be wild. Probably have as much antelope as Wyoming...have to go there to get that. There are a lot!!! I bet the Antelope will stare at you there too. lol.
Don't you love the pic with my boy. I love it. It was inspired by my blog pic and thought I would try it...I am very pleased with how it turned out. Anyway, this is only an intro. I am not recovered from this vacation yet...I need a vacation to recover...lol. Tengo sueno . Good night.

WOW!!!


So I have finally had a chance to record the events that have transpired so far. First of all...Nebraska sucks...not a little but a lot. It doesn't even warrent further mention. 'A' got really sick there and had really sucky medical attention. She is much better now. YEAH!!! So we proceeded on to Colorado Springs, which we thought...WoW.. that is amazing. I took tons of pictures of the Garden of the Gods...got back to the hotel and well...disk stopped working and couldn't load them AHHHHHH!!!! So frankly...I wasn't in a mood to blog...I was upset. I had to get a new disk for my camera. All better now and room for over 1200 pics...oh YAH!

We did have a very nice hotel there...Put in a plug for Best Western Pikes Peak...Great bisquit and gravy and waffle bar...yummy.





We then proceeded...today...toward Utah. Just so you know...Mapquest doesn't consider mountains when it considers drive time...lol. 8 hours turned out to be about 12. But it was soooooo worth it. What we saw today made Garden of the Gods look like a vegetable garden. I was driving so 'A' has all the pics...I will get the pics and post some of my favs. It was amazing... and extremely crazy to drive through. I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the road. Well, I am tired. Tomorrow...or I should say in the morning we will take a tour of Moab, UT. Very exciting...well, good night. WOW!! God is amazing...how did he come up with this. If this is earth...what could heaven be like. WOW!!!

Wow...now thats procrastination!


So 'A', my son and I have been planning a Spring Break vacation for about a year...since we slept through last years. About 2 months ago, I think, we settle on Utah and Colorado. Sounds random, but there is a reason. 'A' went to school there and knows people. So now spring break is in a week and do we have everything nailed down....NOPE! Okay do we have some things nailed down....Besides the destination and an unreliable map from map quest printed off...nope...thats it...lol. We will, however, discuss it tonight...maybe...lol. We are calling it spontanious...lol. If anyone has any tips, advise...etc. Let me know..we could use it.

Okay...so I'm completely useless.


So I looked out my window with glee this afternoon...suspecting a repeat snow day...and what do I see but my neighbor stuck up to her axils in snow. I think to myself...get off your lazy snowday can and help her...so I did. I went out there and shoveled a little and pushed but to no avail. She then said...I know...I will just snowblow my driveway now and then move the car....okay...lol. I then glance toward the street and see some college students who have been standing next to thier running car since I first got out there and I say to myself...get off your can and see whats up. So I walk over and ask, "Whats up?" It turns out the girl moved her car to the other side of the street for calender parking reasons, got out, and the car automatically locks all doors...(who was the idiot who designed that?). I say I will get a coat hanger...and that doesn't work on these kind of locks...oh well. They call a locksmith. While over there I see a guy plowing out a drive way. I go over and beg him to plow out mine...and for $15 he does...and yes...it was money well spent. While plowing out my driveway, he breaks his plow and spends about 30 minutes outside, while I stand there and make sure he has everything he needs...lol...like I could help...He fixes it and finishes up. I am now relaxing on my lazy snowday can enjoying reading all my friends blogs....because I am completely useless...lol. I love snowdays!
