Holly's recent artwork





Holly is gearing up for a spring art show where she will get some "professional?" critque's of her work. Pete remains biased and encourages her to "KEEP DRAWING" so that he can retire early.

We spent the first evening in the desert, just north of Las Vegas. We enjoy desert camping and this would be our last chance to experience the desert until ??? Three more days of cross country travel brought us into ND on May 30th. We are currently staying with the Sime family; Leon & Laurali, Jenna, Kaelyn & Lacy.

FALL FOLAGE AND MY NEW CAMERA

This is the restaurant that Pete took me to for my Birthday. And now the camera wars are on to see who takes the best photo. The days have been very sunny and warm.  We are finally seeing the end of our busy season at the conference center and are looking forward to normal hours.  We have taken a couple of hikes to enjoy all the beautiful fall days.  It is Birthday month and Friday we are going to a hockey game to celebrate some more birthday.  It will be our first hockey game, so we will take Holly's new camera and have some blog pictures for your entertainment.
