Sunday - Day 16

> We went to church yesterday (Sunday) morning. Took Barb to dinner, then ran off to Lake City. It was a beautiful day (as usual). We visited with an artist who has his studio there.. We remember when he first started out. He specializes in war planes (he was a pilot). He did other things poorly when he first started, but is getting lots better. He does lots of commission work, fairly inexpensively. He is actually making a living. Anyway, is was fun to see him again.

> Took a trip up Spring Creek today...Barb, Mom, and I. One of my favorite spots. On the way
> back we saw a sheep...amazing! We missed seeing any last year.

> on tripping up Spring Creek tomorrow...Barb's treat!

Tuesday - Day 11

Mom and I took off for Crested Butte and Gothic yesterday.  The mountains, valleys, flowers, etc. were awesome.  We love it.

Today is a stay home and work day.  Talk about huff and puff around.  I got started sawing a 9 inch log with a little limb saw

and it just about "done me in".  We are still moving the woodpile!  Barb got home last nite.  Mom got tuckered out yesterday.

We took about 100 pictures.  Our snapping fingers just wore out I guess.

Sunday - Day 9

> I forgot what pics I sent before...So decided to sent all this time. This is Black Canyon Pass and Montrose.

Saturday - Day 8

Big arts and crafts fair in Gunnison today. We spend lots of time watching the chain saw wood carvers do their thing. The day of whacking out a bear is gone. These guys are really artists. The carving mom is standing by is of a fawn with its chin on a log looking over at a skunk. What you can't really see is the racoon with its head poked up out of the log watching them. The are two pictures of the carving mom and I voted for 1st place. It was so detailed and beautiful. Mom and I visited with the carvers wife and mother in law as we watched him. They were very nice folks. We also liked the rams heads. It is beautiful here again today!
