I've been in touch with a couple friends from my past and I just want to say that I truly cherish our relationship. Facebook is an awesome say to reconnect with those from our past and I've spent a lot of time on there.
School is going well. We had the most awesome concert for the school, for the parents and for 4 elementary schools (4 in one day!). I'm still on husband's computer, so I don't have any pics, but it was great. The kids are really pleased and now it is on to our next concert!
My daffodils and crocuses are blooming and lots of other stuff is springing up, what a wonderful time of year! And the birds have been singing quite beautifully.
Spring Break starts for me on Friday at noon! So I'll be breaking from the puter as well... for just a little while, but I'll have lots to show when I get back on here. I truly miss writing and the blogging world.
Tah Tah!

Our first destination was to stay the night in Casper and see my sweet Aunt Goldie! She's 86 and going strong. My mom and her were VERY close growing up and it simply warms my heart to be around her. She used to be a red head, like me! We went out to Red Lobster (her fav. spot!) and then she fixed us a fine breakfast Saturday morning. Thank you, sweetie! Love you lots!
We drove for about 8 hours on Saturday, stopped to see Scott's family in Grand Junction then kept on going. By the time we finally made up camp (around midnight) Gus was a bit bored.
The next day, Sunday, (our 8th anniversary!) we were in gorgeous country. Here is the beginning of Monument Valley in Utah.
Didn't Forest Gump run down this road? lol
The weather was a balmy 60 as we kept driving to meet up with Uncle Bill, my sister Rubye Jean and her granddaughter, Rue. (Alexa Rubye) The country was gorgeous red rock and sand with lots of junipers.
Here is our first destination...the Colorado River at Lees Ferry. Historically it's the spot where Lee ferried many settlers across the river. Today it is the spot to launch rafts for float trips through the Grand Canyon (with over 100 rapids to master). The brownish water is from the sediment of the Paria river that meets the Colorado here. If you look closely under the red cliffs, you will see the beautiful green Colorado river. This is the spot the waters wed.
We had a most wonderful time here, which I'll blog more about tomorrow. But here's a little clip of my darling great niece in the water...
