On to La Veta, CO to Visit Friends

After leaving Silver City, we made our way to Colorado going thru Taos and over La Veta Pass. It was a great drive and the coach handled the climbs beautifully. We found our way to our friends’, Sandy and Mary, beautiful home outside La Veta. The back of their home faces West Spanish Peak and the front looks over the valley towards the Sangre de Cristo mountains. It is so peaceful there. One of the highlights of our visit was watching the hummingbirds on their back patio. They have several bird feeders on the patio tables and if you hold very still, the hummingbirds will actually light on your fingers at the feeders!! We had a great visit with Sandy and Mary, and their son Turk, soaking up all the wonderful scenery and ambience of the town. Turk gave us some elk that he had shot last season – boy is it tasty!! During our trip to La Veta, our son Jim called to tell us he was getting married in October. We knew he was going to propose to his girl, but didn’t know when the wedding was going to be. Needless to say this news changed some of our summer plans.
