Amazing Picture

This picture is kinda cool. We were driving down the road on the way to the mountain and I wanted a picture of the clouds over the mountain and I quick snapped a picture and this is this picture that I ended up with. Look at what is on the phone poll .... It was the only pole on the whole road and it ended up in my shot. How wierd it that?????

Our Trip To Taos Ski Valley

Dan and I just returned from the mountain. We intentionaly went to ski, but after we seen the hills we both had second thoughts. They were pretty BIG. We need to get into shape before we tackle this beast of a mountain. The drive up to the mountain was so pretty. It had snowed the night before and there was alot of fresh snow on the roads (if ya wanna call them roads, more like trechouse trails) We had alot of fun just looking around and drinking hot choclate. Isn't that what OLD people do? No just kidding! =) We are gonna do some practising on some smaller slopes before we hit the BIG ones. Santa Fe Ski is just a few miles up the road, so we will start there!

We stopped at this old bridge in Taos that was built over the Rio Grande River hundreds of years ago. The ersosion and evaporation of the river makes it almost impossbile to see from this height. It was pretty scarry. It is very sad to see how much of the river is left after all these years. The Grande River is not as grande as she was before. It is still a beautiful sight. Just to think that Billy the Kid and his possy once romped these grounds daily, running from the Indians! New Mexico has alot of history behind it. We are only just beginning to visit all the historic sights that NM has to offer.

Halloween Family Reunion

I Just spent a wonderful weekend with my daughters and my son and my grandson in Atlanta, GA. We had a lot of laughs (as usual). Even though 2 days is not enough, it was better than nothing. We were all surprised to see how grown up Tyler is getting. His little legs can't keep up with him. He is constantly on the run! Literally! He has a smile that brightens even the darkest of rooms. An ear to ear grin. He is a very happy baby, all the time laughing,and jabbering, guess he gets that from his mama! Nikki was a very nice host, and we all had a great time.

Mom and Tom , Buzzy and Cindy, Amanda and Ben joined the visit on Saturday. They brought some nice toys for Tyler. We all had such a nice visit.

After a visit with my kids, I just sit back and thank the Good Lord above that they all turned out to be as wonderful as they are. We are such a close family that we miss each other when we are not together. It is a great feeling that I have raised 3 wonderful kids that I love very much. Even though they are all off in different directions, all the choices they have made are very smart ones that have brought them great success. Hats off to the Barney Children! You are loved very much~
