In Pueblo

We are here in Pueblo for Jim to attend classes to renew his water certification…this allows him to do the maintenance and testing of the water  systems at campgrounds. 

While driving from Alamosa to Pueblo we were guided to the side of the road by the State Patrol.  He was clearing two lanes for the upcoming convoy of vehicles.

 

Here it comes. Diesel said Might Mitt, I think but couldn’t find anything online	Behind the front diesel this huge machine on extra wheels
This is the machinery called Mega Morgan; again no info online	\ Behind the machinery was THREE additional diesel cabs connected by steel rods for stability.  It must have been a very heavy load requiring 3 diesels to push it up La Veta Pass

We have a couple of dear friends, both who live in
Pueblo, so we arranged to meet them both for dinner Monday.  This is Judy who we knew from church in Alamosa and Jean, a retired librarian I met in Leadville while I was at a conference.

We met at The Hen House here in Pueblo West….and yes, they serve all sorts of chicken dishes along with fish and chops.  Take a look of Jim’s chicken fried steak!!! It was as big as his out-stretched hand…

Cute building with “all things chicken” as decorations inside.

Yesterday we shopped for all the refreshments we will need for our two-day area manager training Jim and I will hold Friday and Saturday. 

In the evening we met seven of our area managers at a restaurant and had appetizers and iced tea. (They are also attending the water certification class.)  It was so nice to be able to put a face with a voice.  Oh, we have a good strong crew and looks like we’ll have a terrific summer.  Can’t wait!!!

Remember, you are loved.

Visit to Creede

Every year we go up to Creede to visit the site where Jim’s parent’s ashes are scattered.  So last Friday we took that drive and we sure picked a beautiful day to do it.

Narrow road up Bachelor Loop-yes, it’s two way traffic on that itty-bitty road!	Mountains still have some snow on them
Nice view these folks have.

Pretty view coming down

Going back to Alamosa we decided to stop and look at Beaver Creek Reservoir to see how low the water level was this year.

The drive up is precarious…those trees are 340-50 feet tall down the side of the cliffs	Ice melting on the reservoir
Pretty view looking south	Water has dropped about 20-30 feet

On the way out of town we stopped to see Rich

and Terri Deacon, great buddies and managers of the South Fork Campground.  We caught them racking up leaves in preparation to opening May 1st.

Our arrival necessitated a break and a chat.

That was our Friday….what did you do?

Remember, you are loved.
