Day 12 Sunsets

I guess sunsets were hard to come by. Posting for the rest of the month might be rather sporadic... my fellow participants are on the road, travelling all over Colorado and then up to Yellowstone. Their internet access will be sporadic. (You can tell by my duplicate use of adjectives that I'm not thinking straight... probably, the cat fight right outside my window at one in the morning.)

30 Day Photo Challenge

Every summer, my daughter Coleen goes to New Mexico for a few weeks to visit her grandparents. This year while surfing on Pinterest, I came across this great idea for a photography challenge and thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with her while she is gone. While I was at it, I asked my parents to join in the fun and then volunteered to post everything on my blog.

You can see the details of the challenge here at White Peach Photography

Here are the players in their photos from Day 1(Self-Portrait)

First Stop- Albuquerque

On the way to William's sister's wedding in Phoenix, we stopped in Albuquerque to visit my parents. My brother and his wife flew in from Seattle while we were there, so we had a sort of mini family reunion.

It was a great visit! Very relaxing, considering how short a time we were there. Sunday, William and I had some time to ourselves and went and wandered around our old haunts. Since it was just going to be the two of us, Dad let us borrow his convertible.

Nob Hill, where we met at work;
While at UNM, we conveniently visited the Center of the Universe...
Zimmerman library, also at UNM, my alma mater:




and it wouldn't have been complete without a trip to the Frontier for a plate of Huevos Rancheros with fresh tortillas!
We finished the night by going back to my parents and Dad & I had fun photographing my quilt,while William and Coleen warped the loom she got for her birthday. (While going through Lawrence, KS we stopped at the Yarn Barn and bought a Kromski Fiddle rigid heddle loom).She warped and finished her project all in one night.
Monday, we ran a couple of errands(including a second trip to Frontier) after we went to visit my parents new church building, which is quite beautiful,
with a stunning view of the Sandia mountains.Then went back to their house and had a birthday party complete with a spumoni cake
Since we were all together we celebrated Coleen's and Cat's birthdays together.
Coleen had a lot of fun with the treasure hunt my parents concocted.
Tuesday morning on our way out of town, we stopped and had breakfast at Weck's (another favorite from when we lived there) and saw this hot air balloon take off in the field next door.
