Vacation Update

So here we are at 10,142 feet in Leadville Colorado. Spent the first night in Amarillo, seeing Dani's brother and his family. Then off to Colorado Springs. Finished up my fourth to the last class from the motel (2 auditing classes and the Capstone ... Why I love UOP LOL.. (remain). Online classes have their advantages! We have been here many times, but had never taken the cog train to the top of Pikes Peak. It was a little pricey ( I thought..but what isn't in Colorado Springs LOL) but was well worth it. Saw some really great scenery and hiking trails. And the storms hit as we reached the summit...That was an awesome display to be so close to. We encountered more rain going up to Breckinridge and back down ( up LOL to 10,142) where I am posting this. It is needed here, but nearly as bad as home. We have really enjoyed seeing snow still on many mountains. Maybe more later, wireless connections are getting harder to find as well as sbc yahoo access numbers ( Thanks Justin and Holly) wink wink.

Catching up!

Been a while. Took a training class in Austin, so just took the rest of the week off and spent some time in and around the area. We found a working farm that does everything in the old methods. They have a working water driven grist mill, make furniture and pottery by hand, and grow their own food. Pretty neat if you like stuff like that. They have classes if you want to learn woodworking or pottery. I have not ruled out checking on those things. The Bob Bullock Texas Museum in Austin is also very good if you like things like that. Got a call to help at Twin Arrows so I took the week of the 4th of July off and did that for a while. The chance of rain kept clouds and a breeze in the area and it was great sleeping under the stars. We are taking off the last week in July and hoping to head to Colorado.....But you never know where we will end up.
