I have been scrapping!

Now if I could just get back to my cross stitching!

But I need to share.  So far behind.  I am working on last year’s trip to all those national parks.  But I also played with some pictures from the snow last year.

And I used Lisa Minor’s kit Not So Scary, available at ScrapDebris, for the next two layouts. See, versatile! Now on the road to Yellowstone.  Having fun but I have SOOOOO many pictures.  So much diversity.

As you can tell, the last is a two pager and I think there will be lots more two pagers.  So many pictures!

More from the Taos trip

Snow.  We woke up to snow that Saturday morning.  And probably about three inches of it.  Cynthia took a picture of my truck from her room in the condo.

It was beautiful.  I think it was the first snow of the season.  We were really concerned we might be get snowed in!  Right.  We went to town to eat breakfast and there was NO snow down the mountain.   We even had snow when we got back from town!  Perfect night to stay in.  Cynthia had sprained or tore her achilles tendon so we went home and Molly fixed taco soup.  We even fixed s’mores.  Perfect evening.  (Except for Cynthia in pain!  Yikes!)    The next morning we got up and packed to go home.  Sigh.  It has to end sometime. Some pictures on the drive down from the condo.  Beautiful views!  I keep repeating myself.The end!

Sisters’ get away – the drive to Taos

Last weekend my two sisters, Cynthia and Molly, and I took a girls’ trip to Taos, NM.  Cynthia’s boss, Elaine, has a condo on the slopes in the ski valley and graciously let us use it.  It was great.  We had a blast (except for Cynthia twisting her ankle)! 

Our first stop was in Endee, NM.  Just a wide spot on the road but they have a new truck stop, Russell’s, that has a big showroom for some classic cars.  I need to drag Ross back there.  He will love it.

The colors were at the end of the changes but golden!  And the views were awesome.

We took a really rural route and between Wagon Mound and Ocate we saw a bear.  Sorry, no picture.  He was so scared he loped into the road then shot back across and up into the rocks.  He was a beautiful golden color.  I was trying to grab my camera to get out of the truck but Molly was screaming yelling telling me and shaking her finger “YOU WILL NOT GET OUT OF THIS TRUCK!!!!!”  We laughed all the way to the condo.  I mean, it made my stomach muscles hurt it was so funny.  Yes, my baby sister thought she could tell me what to do.  And I was so smart, I told her he was probably only two years old.  OK, how did I know that and what difference would it make.  Sheesh.  Such smarties.

We found a really cool old cemetery.  I love old cemeteries.  So much history there.Don’t you love Molly’s yoga pose? Interesting on this stone that the black is in the heart carved on the back. Hammerhead for a grave marker.  Anyway, we saw elk, wild turkey, and a tarantula.  No deer.  Oh, and lots of antelope. But it was the colors that were just awesome!!! The dirt road just added to the beauty.
