If Vehicles Could Talk!

This is our 1976 International Scout II and if it could talk! We bought this from a friend in Florence about 1985 - give or take a few years.

The stories this Scout could tell.

Back in the late 90's, it was stolen, probably by some after-hour bar patrons, but they didn't get very far (because it wasn't running good) and dumped it on a country road close to town! So our Scout was returned, not much worse for the wear.

Around that time, we had a chance to get a jeep, a really cute jeep! (It was red, saucy, and delightful, but that's another story!) The man we purchased that Jeep from wanted to buy our Scout, so we sold it to him. A few weeks later, he decided he really didn't want the Scout, so our Scout returned again!

Then as time went on, we needed a better Jeep or Scout to tow behind motorhome, so we sold our beloved Red Jeep, and bought a newer Jeep. We also sold the scout to a lady in Pueblo West who wanted it to fix it up and restore. Then again, after a few years, she decided she really didn't want to do that, and needed money, so again our Scout returned!!!

After sitting for a few years, it's back running, and Ryan wants to "restore" it! Wonder what adventures are in store for this Scout now??!

Some Miscellaneous Things!

Another Sunrise in Fremont County! May, 2010

A thunderstorm located over the Colorado Springs area. Beautiful electrical display! May 2010

We have always assumed this was a crab apple tree, this being the FIRST year in the 5 we have lived here, that there is anything on it! (It has always frozen) So now I am wondering IF it's actually a crab apple???!!

My Denver Grandkids

A wonderful visit to see our grandkids in Denver. We don't see them too often, so it's always a very special time when we are able to spend time with them.

This first picture is our oldest granddaughter in Denver, Morgan Elaine (named after me!!) who is 14!

This most delightful young miss is our second oldest granddaughter, Lindsey who is now 10 years old! What a beauty!

And the youngest, Landon, is so full of life, love, personality and energy! He is now 7 years old. Seems like just yesterday these kids were babies. This one looks so much like a couple of his cousins on the McCormick side.

Wow, am I glad to have them as grandkids!!!

Denver Evening

Don't believe words are needed! This is Longs Peak from Thornton.

Denver Lilacs~

Different varieties of Lilacs abound! And Denver is about a week behind us, so I get to enjoy my favorite flower all over!

Just a couple of the varieties that our daughter has at her home in Thornton.

Chickens in the Road!

One of my favorite blogs, Chickens in the Road.com started up a new item, Farm Bell Recipes. The first few weeks they had some give-aways, this was given away the first week and I won! I was number 49 to comment.

When I first saw that jmac had won the first give-away, I was disappointed that someone else was using my sign-in name! Duh!!!!

Thank You Suzanne McMinn!
