Road Trip

We took a little road trip yesterday because we were off and the weather was gorgeous. The temp was in the upper 60's. We drove around the area Southwest of us. We don't got that way very often mostly because it's a lot flatter and I love the hills. But it has it's own interests. It's farm and ranch country with some small towns here and there. We wanted to take photos of old abandoned buildings and we found three farm houses that were very interesting. I think old houses are fascinating. I wonder about the people who lived there and what kind of lives they had. Why did they leave and where did they go. We wanted to peek into the windows of the houses but they were surrounded by weeds and mud so that was out of the question. We had a fun time.

My allergies are really riled up right now. The pollen count is in the extreme high range, the "red zone." No wonder I've felt so rotten the last few days.

I've been really lazy lately, haven't quilted or knitted or drawn or painted. Just surfed on the Computer and watched TV.

We've been watching SG1. We have all the TV shows (all ten years) and all the movies. We have quite a marathon going on.

Photos of the day, the houses that we saw on our road trip. The first one is my favorite. I bet it was a gorgeous house in it's younger days.



A few miles down the road we found this other one.



While there we found this old quilt hanging on a clothesline. We started to keep the quilt but it was damaged too much from being out in the elements, faded, holes in it and all that.



This is the last house. It's hard to see because of the trees. I probably should have used a different view of it.



This house wasn't completely abandoned. We saw these two living there. Sassy growled and barked at them. They just looked at her like she's nuts.



For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
