We've been exploring Colorado and headed south down the middle corridor ending up at a hot spring fed swimming pool and therapy hot tub pool in Hooper near The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, which we have climbed as well.Our plan is to head to New Mexico and visit Mystery Mountain again at Los Lunas and continue further south and over to Three Rivers and then to Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas as we progress onward towards home by September 10th,our grandson's 3rd birthday.No more festivals for now. We would rather do this.I am feeling sad however and need to get outside soon to shake it off. Early this morning I received some sad news on FB via another old friend.I am sitting here crying in our RV in Albuquerque NM with plans to do some serious hiking to check out Petroglyph National Monument. One of my former art teacher colleagues and good friend has passed away from cancer last night at age 63. When I stepped down from teaching, she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.We taught art camps together and went to our art conferences together and shared a room as attendees...she was from Australia and was a fantastic LOVING person.It makes me cherish even more every breath I breathe and to live life to its fullest as if each day were to be the last. We all will die and that is a basic truth that is the same for everyone. How we live matters. love one another
