Real letters

These were a "find" from my ongoing de-cluttering project. These were actual letters that were tossed in a trunk along with special event cards. I found lots of letters from my daughter from 1988 and on. As technology with computers evolved the communication switched to emails and now a lot of texts. I found no texts in the trunk. We have lost the art of letter writing and these were so much fun to re read after almost 20 years. Most cards were tossed, but saved the letters for another re-read.

Beautiful red door

Mystery door tucked around the corner? This unique door and archway was constructed in 1886 and is beautiful architecture that has lasted. Some of our more recent buildings are plain and streamlined and some get torn down and replaced long before they are 100 years. old.  I have posted photos from this location a couple of times.

Chocolate and wine

Good combination to end a trying day.  The gold ones are the best- white chocolate. The blue ones, dark chocolate- that's why there are more of them then the gold.

Too Lock Your Pockets

 The actual name is Tlaquepaque shopping center in Sedona, but I heard the residents called it "to lock your pockets". And you can find some mighty nice things to buy.  I would get there early before the shops opened to get photos with out people-easy parking for my motorhome also. Typical architecture with the repeating arches on the above  photo.

Just stairs but I thought they were interesting with the wall that was also stair stepped and another rounded door.

Stairway with tiled steps. And below, one shop had shells and beads outside their shop in baskets.

        

Crested Butte bike

Today I am posting a photo from a "happy" location. This is a house that was sided with license plates and is now a coffee shop. There is usually a bike parked next to the building in this biking town. I have been to Crested Butte 3 times and enjoyed it each time.

Today is cold and overcast which is unusual, but we are expecting our first snow. Surprise that it is so late in the season and have totally enjoyed the nice biking weather.

Today when I signed into this blog I got a notice about cookies you may have to deal with....What cookies- I do not advertise, I do not get and cash from anyone looking at the blog. It's just one of there administration things. And cookies and those irritating pop ups from other sites- grrr.  I run the CCleaner a lot to clear it all out.

Also, again, locked out of Iphone because of an update. Also hate those. It's 3 years old and not broke so I keep it and I didn't stomp on it or toss it across the room last night at 11:30 p.m.  Oh fun, I will call tech soon.

Reflected flowers

Here is my shinny spoon again. This one was taken about a month ago at the park. These reflections are always a challenge to get down on the ground and close enough with the macro lens and keep my image out of it. We are expecting our first snow tomorrow, which has held off for a couple of months!

Rusty wheels

I am stuck in posting old stuff. This piece of rust farm equipment was at Fruita in Capitol Reef National Park.
