Hi everyone, how is your weekend so far? The sun is out and it is glorious here — I love a sunny Saturday. I like to clean our house on Saturdays (ummm, let me clarify – I don’t actually like to clean, but I like the results) so that is what I did first thing this morning. And now I’m done. YES!
Gary and I just got back from a little trip through Colorado, Utah and Nevada. The best inspiration ever is looking at God’s beautiful wonders of nature. I feel so happy about that. We visited Moab, Arches National Park and Zion National Park. Wowsers. There was some eye-popping scenery for sure, Gary got some great shots.
The arches were amazing and the soil in the park is multi-colored. So beautiful.

I liked the colorful foliage, too.

We had good chats with some artists we met along way. We stopped at Gary Russell’s Art of Iron gallery in Rifle, Colorado. Cool stuff. We met J.R. Lancaster in Bluff, Utah. Wow. He has some amazing paintings, photography and mixed media. We met some other great artists in Cortez, Colorado, super nice people
Oh, I almost forgot to show you these salt and pepper shakers that were on our table at the Arapahoe Cafe in Dillon, Colorado. Love them! The food was amazing, too. Gary had the ribs and gave them a 10. He gives NOTHING a 10, honestly, so they must have been something special.

Oh yes, and one other thing. We went to the Creative Cooking School of Las Vegas for one of our meals. It was a hoot! The hats especially. I took mine off after 10 minutes or so, because, well my hair is just not the type for a hat such as this, and it just wasn’t working, ya know? We had a great time and the food was delish.

I have lots more photos, maybe I can share more another day. I am working on some new art projects and I am excited to share those, too.
Have a great weekend!
