It must have taken us an hour to get to the Monastery because the photographer had to stop every … Continue reading Monastery of Christ in the Desert
Today we took a tour of Georgia O’Keefe’s home and studio in Abiquiu. It was marvelous! Her house and studio are preserved just as she left it when she died at 98 years old. It is now part of the Historical Society and Georgia O’Keefe Museum. The tour guide was awesome. It was amazing to … Continue reading Georgia O’Keefe Tour

We awoke to SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKY! What a delight, I think it’s been around 3 weeks since we have seen this much blue sky, WELCOME SUNSHINE. There was a cancellation, at Lathrop, so we were able to ‘move-in’ and stay through the weekend, although it did require moving the RV. Being gypsies is a … Continue reading SUNSHINE
It has been so rainy & wet that we woke up to a BIG puddle around the RV. By the time I braved the elements, to take this picture, the water had receded quite a bit. Need to buy waders… It has been raining (with some snow intermixed) for what seems like 2 weeks, with more … Continue reading Yet ANOTHER rainy day-night-week
