Mom Day Monday - some photojournaling - NEW UPDATE

First I don't get away very often but when I do, I LOVE to take pictures- as many as I can - so many that this idea may take up a few of my postings.  I haven't posted them before because it seemed like there was always something else going on.  Ok so now, without further interruptions, I bring you ONLY SOME of my vacation photos -

 By the way, you will probably want to bigefy 
pictures.
Guess what - we were leaving our home 
state of Kansas - on our way to Colorado way
back on the July 4th weekend in 2009.  My uncle there had died and we were headed there for the funeral.

 Hey, I said I love taking pics - never did
      claim they were good.






Some of you may not know what these
strange-looking structures are.
              ...
               ..
                .

         They are called wind turbines and they
     are an newer way of generating electricity 
     using the power of wind - something we have
    A LOT of, especially in western Kansas where
    these could be seen for miles.

We are on the eastern edge of Denver - you can
see the Rocky Mountains in the background.

   


         That is the Elitch Amusement Park in 
        Denver - nope, never have been there and
        the only reason I got this pic of it - 
        you can see it from the highway.

Here is a picture of the moon - I thought it was sort of pretty.

Ok - this is nothing really terrific but there were these two ponds I saw in western Kansas, along with the easy rolling land that to me is pretty and kind of peaceful.


Now I know most of these pics don't show much of our trip - it really was a rushed 3 day trip from Topeka to Denver then homw again. I do have many family pics but I didn't want to bore anyone with those (and I don't know everyones name anyway.  I hope I have some other pics I can show you in one or two of future Mom Day Monday posts.  I will leave you with a picture of the Beaglebratz's Colorado canine cousin, Charlie.

PS - Shiloh'n Shasta have a little exciting news to share - I had thought about posting it today BUT since it involves them, I thought they should be the ones to post it - hopefully tomorrow.

PPS - just wanted to add - at 5:45am,it was already 84 degrees out.  Yes, it will be in the triple digits today and at least 2 or 3 days this week.

The heat index on Tuesday, we could have a heat index of 115. Ok, time to get ready for work.  Ya'll have a great day!
