Time Flies!

Once again time has gotten away from me.  I did not realize it had been so long since my last post.  The summer has flown by this year.
It took me until the middle of July to get my Mom's house in Northern Minnesota sold.  Which was huge undertaking but it had to get done so it was worth all the time and effort to get it done.  Having a second house was a big financial drain for them.  We were able to visit with lots of family and friends while we were there.
After we said our Goodbyes and left Minnesota, we drove South to Colorado.  I have a good friend who lives in Cripple Creek and another friend in Bailey.  We stayed in Colorado for a week to visit with our friends and enjoy the beautiful mountain views.
While we were in Colorado we visited Garden Of The Gods Park.  I highly recommend a visit to this free public park when you are in the area.  It has beautiful rock formations that provide lots of photo ops.  If you would like more information about Garden Of The Gods click on the link below.

After we bid farewell to our Colorado friends we headed to Southern Utah and visited Capital Reef National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park.  We spent a day at each park exploring and taking hundreds of pictures. I highly recommend a visit to each of these beautiful parks.  Here are a couple of links for more information.
