Stories from the Road.

First though...from Mardi & Bob, #34...

Recycle your SMALL empty glass jars.
Bob and Mardi of #34 need small (like jelly or peanut butter) jars for pesticide,
before we leave for the season.
Just drop off cleaned out jars on the porch whenever you have some.
We are grateful.

Now for a "road" story...
From John & Mary who are on their way to be camp workers
at a KOA in Rawlings, Wyoming for the summer.

Greetings from Fort Collins, Co,
Yesterday we drove to downtown Fort Collins to immerse ourselves in unique architecture and history. This town was established back in 1868. Rugged brick structures to elegant art deco with plenty of "ghost signs" point towards memorable past lives and livelihoods. Some shops were selling their wares from as far as Nepal, India and Tibet. A "Pashmina" shawl that I purchased in Houston for $6.00 was selling for a mere 35.00 OUCH!!!!!
For lunch we stopped at "Spoons" for a soup and sandwich.
Have you ever tasted "carrot ginger bisque"? I did, it was delicious.
Our next stop was to drive through the old down town taking in the beauty of what Spring brought forth. Trees are laden with white and purple blossoms, tulips, pansies and various native blossoms. On the other hand we still needed to wear our winter jackets.
From our trailer looking west, we can see the mountains. Today we are off to Cheyenne, Wy. for the day.
More later.
Take care of each other.
Love, Mary 'n' John
