Texas???

Well this week started off cold in Colorado with a wonderfully warm temp of -3*! I dropped the kids off at school on Monday with the temp being -1*. The picture is of my cold cup of coffee that actually produced steam when I took it out to let the dogs out. I was trying to get a pic of the steam rising out of it, but it didn't show up. Oh well...
Wow! I actually finished the socks in time and David mailed them for me. Yes, they are totally different patterns. I really like the idea and will probably make myself some. This picture really is a good picture of the color.
Trip begun we left the house at about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Here we've reach Raton Pass and we're headed down into Raton, NM.
Kristina snapped this picture coming out of the pass. I love the shadow and light of the early morning.
After getting breakfast it was time to let Kaitlyn drive. She did great and no one feared for their life..... until we reached Dalhart, Texas.
Blurry picture, I know. We were on the look out for the camel herd and I wasn't quite ready when we came up on it. If you click on the picture it will pull it up on the entire screen and then you can see the camels... albeit a bit blurry.
We reached Grammie and Papa's at about 8 p.m. through some of the worst fog I've seen in awhile. Thursday morning found 4 reindeer sitting at the breakfast bar eating oatmeal and cereal!
OH! Those aren't reindeer! Its Parker, Olivia, Hunter and Jolie!
