Assorted photos from Quartzite. FYI: Quartzite is different. There are no actual "Homes" near town, and I haven't seen a school or any evidence of a school-or children for that matter. There isn't a grocery store as we are all used to. There are two small grocery stores, dollar stores, and two large discount grocery places with packaged and canned things. I haven't seen a pharmacy. It is a place of it's own. But the landscape is awesome and we are taking it in!

    Yes - It's a unique place for sure. In the summer it's totally cleared out. Glad to see you two having such a great time in the desert!

Visiting Adrian and the Boys

I love this photo of Adrian and the boys. Gorgeous! And the first thing I noticed when we went to their home. Ethan is an awesome hockey player and we had a blast watching him play. He scored and did a fantastic job as a goalie too! We visited a reptile rescue center where the boys were excited to hold an alligator, but ended up holding pythons, too! I love the look on Ethan's face here, but neither he or Caleb were uncomfortable with the snakes. Caleb finally ran out of steam! Adrian and proud Pappa

Gallup and Santa Fe

Image
We spent one day in Gallup, New Mexico. The town is lined with Native American Art Galleries (many are like museums), jewelry fabrication supply shops, and Native American craftspeople. In a supply shop Bob struck up a conversation with another shopper who answered questions about choosing shell material. The mans name is Bruce Joe. He is a well known, accomplished Native American jewelry artist. We also met one of my Native American jewelery heros, Lyndon Tsosie. Lyndon is a award winning jeweler who teaches in workshops and online videos. We moved on to Santa Fe on Friday, March 10. BLM camping reviews for the area mentioned roaming dogs and people- we made reservations at Sata Fe Skys RV park! These photos are from the park. Metal yard art is common here. These pieces are in the campground. We were winging our visit to Santa Fe. FYI: the Georgia O'Keefe museum tickets are 30 days advance The Art Museum and History Museum are closed on Mondays. We were happy to b...

On The Road Home

Image
We've had a couple family members get in touch and we realized it's been 10 days since the last blogpost. So, catching up. . . Finally! I picture of Bob and Lauren. We stopped to visit Lauren over last weekend. We had a great time doing some antiquing and she and her friends took us out to Toad Sucks Bucks, a Arkansas River bank joint with great steaks and live music. We had a blast. Next stop, Mom's house. Mary lives in Illinois just east of St. Louis. It was a great visit with Mom and Bob's sister Eileen, husband Jeff and grandbaby Preston, but no picture (we did it again!) We are making our way home. Currently at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground where there is a 3 yr. old horse event happening which sounds very interesting. Tonight,Townsend, Tn. where we will be visiting Bob's daughter, Tabetha, husband Jeremy and kids, Ayla and Jayden. We'll head to Raleigh for an overnight to visit Meadow, and Jason and Jess. On Wed. head home with a st...
