YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO DREAM!

Welcome to Pink Saturday. I hope you will stop by Beverly's so you can thank her for hosting these Pink Saturdays.I enjoy these posts and look forward to them each week. I am amazed at the creative talent I meet over here and always enjoy visiting so many bloggers.

Since we had a sad week with the loss of my mother-in-law I wanted to talk about her for a moment and then show you my pink treasures. My mother-in-law loved to wear pink and she loved to wear red! At her memorial service, my niece Leah put together an amazing video of her life. I noticed most of her outfits were red or pink and she was always holding a baby or cooking! She was a remarkable Christian woman and she will be missed by many.

I am sharing a few photos from our road trip to the funeral and burial. My mother-in-law's service was held in Pueblo and then we drove 3 hours to Lamar for the grave site service.As a youngster I did not like car trips a lot. I thought the scenery was boring and the ride too long. Although the ride has not changed much in all these years my love of open spaces has! I love the rolling hills and the amber waves of grain and other scenery along the way. If I could afford it, I would retire in one of those tiny farming communities and live my life in calm and quiet. There is no pollution and people are friendly. I would live in a house like this.

This is the cutest pink and white house located on Main Street in Lamar, Colorado. I just smiled when I saw it on the way to the grave site. Isn't it precious?

Then I saw this cool windmill.

This windmill was outside the county building but I can not remember which small town we passed through. Isn't it so sweet?

We ran into rain outside of Limon, Colorado on the way home (three hours away) . I was grateful that the Good Lord washed all the bugs off our windshield. He was pleased with my roadside prayers because look what he provided for us.

Here is the sky before the rain poured down on us.

Then He allowed the Son to Shine Through.

Finally here is my favorite thing about small towns.

An old fashioned movie theater and it is trimmed in pink. Happy Pink Saturday to all!

Tomorrow my hubby is going to spend the day with his sis and they are doing lunch together so I am meeting my sis at the thrift store. She is the ultimate thrifting queen and I am a thrifting princess! My sissy waits for the doors to open at 8:00 A.M. and she has her coffee and her shopping cart ready to roll! Last week despite the sad occasion of traveling home, she found a pair of Crazy Horse jean capri's for me! If you know Liz Claiborne, you know Crazy Horse is a division of her fashion empire. My sister is a fashion fanatic and can find things other only wish they could find! Wish us luck!
