I spent the last two weeks thinking, planning and trying to create a post about what I can see vs. what the rest of you can see of my images. We spent a couple of hours trying photoshop an image to represent what I see. Well, nothing we tried was able to capture what I see. So we are putting this on hold until we can find another way to make the image I’m looking for.
But I wanted to post something, so here it is. A meme we found from a few months ago that never got posted. It still has some relevance, but nothing to do with my original blog intent. Enjoy
This is not how I intended to restart my blog! However something important happened today. Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96, after 70+ years of reign.

As a final tribute, we sing:
God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen!
Most People outside of RAP don’t know the connection. The GAP Band members were born, raised and started their Music career in Tulsa.
The band is an acronym based on the streets of Greenwood, Archer, and Pine in the historic Greenwood neighborhood of the Wilson brothers’ hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Celebrate the Music. Remember the loss and play some GAP Today.
I am finally getting started with the 2021 Project. Two summers ago the City of Lafayette, CO was cutting down Cottonwood trees In a park near my home. The trees were nearly dead and a hazard to park patrons and passer’s by in bad weather. But I had wondered why they left about half of the trunk still standing. Well this past December an artist began sculpting one of the trunks. And here it is:
My husband had a chance to speak with him and he said eventually he would sculpt all four trunks with locally themed art. The Rooster represents the Oatmeal Festival, held here in January during non-COVID years. The Rooster represents the winner of the Festival’s 5K walk/run.

While I was at the Mayo Clinic last Fall, some of my neighbors decided that I needed a more accessible Front Entrance:
At first I thought how wonderful my neighbors are! But I felt that perhaps my mom-in-law and my neighbor from across the street (whose husband designed and organized the Project) might need it more that me, But with recent snows that we had I learned to appreciate my hsnd rsils. Sometimes other people know what you need before you recognize what you need!
An interesting Experience……….Starting with a Rib Roast that was twice as large as we wanted. Ordered 6 pounds from Whole Foods and got 6-bones = 14 lbs.:
Never Fear….we cooked half and froze half for Valentine’s Day:
The rest if our Christmas was more normal, starting with our Table Setting:
We made our annual trip over Boreas Pass. At the south end of the Pass is the town of Como. There are inhabited and restored buildings, such a the Train Station:
But I think many of the abandoned buildings are more interesting:
And them there are the somewhat restored and used buildings:
