The clock tower at Peninsula College. Shot was taken last fall.
The last day of my vacation. If all goes well, I will land in time to get my luggage, pick up my car, and head for Sequim. Then it is off to school for the first night of class. Now a smart cookie would have had scheduled a day off before they went back to work…but then that would mean flying on a more expensive day and less money for the road trip…well, that’s no brainer.
I wanted a picture of the shadow this windmill was castiing on the house, and just as I rounded the corner, the sun went behind a cloud. Rats! One might think why a windmill in the yard…the wind blows, and blows in this part of Texas. I once joked that to live here, women had to own stock in a hairspray company.
This photo was taken last year in my backyard. We all know this is not what Easter is all about. Still, I will miss spending the day with my grandbabies.
Day 14 of my vacation. I have written the grandkids postcards each day on my trip. They like to get mail. I like to make sure they know Grandma is thinking of them. Sometimes I beat the cards home and we read them together.
My brother-in-law plays bells with a local group in Stratford. I attended practice and loved the piece they played. I hope to find it on a CD.
This photo is from the same garden tour I took. I thought it was a great use for an old door. The top part has been removed. It too was attached to a bench.
Day 12 of my vacation…Humph. It’s geting close to Easter, if not the end of our money. I guess it is time to head for Keyes. If you have not yet found Keyes, I have included this link. Keyes, Ok Don’t let them fool you when it says Keyes Car dealer…you click on that link and it will redirect you to another town. The 2000 census list the town as having 410 inhabitants. It will also tell you the popultion has been declining by 1.8 percent a year.
You know, it may be the camera wasn’t set right. All of these smallish pictures were from a “quick…get something so you will have posts and your brother, the enforcer, won’t get on your case.” Something to think about as I take more pictures.
Day 11 of my vacation I don’t know how long we will stay in Santa Fe. Depends on my mom and how she is holding up. I do want to get on over to Taos, Red River and Eagles Nest. That will depend on the weather. Are you checking our progress on the map?
The day I was packing up to leave, we had a storm run through town. It was a Sunday and none of the stores were open in this shopping area. I was struck by the sun on the signs and the dark clouds in the background. (another little picture…I promise to learn how to make it so you can click on them and enlarge when I get back)
Day 10 of my vacation The plan is to spend most of the day checking out Albequrque and then head north towards Santa Fe! Ah, if I were only rich. I could retire in this area.
P.S. A little change of plans. We found a great state park in Ft. Sumner, Bolgadoez _____. It portrays “The Long Walk” when the Navaho and the Mescalero Apaches were driven to a reservation at Ft. Sumner. Very powerful and very interesting. Then it was on to the International Folkart Museum in Santa Fe. 2 hours was not enough time. Google this one. You will like it.
