"Z"ipping Down the Highway and Wondering if "A"lamosa and "A"dams State "B"elong in Nick's Future

 Come visit Sally and all the wonderful people who participate in Blue Monday. Then hop over to Facebook and say hi to Marydon (MD Middaugh) so you can share a favorite Love is...or two. I know the Blue Crew will spot lots of blue in my photos and images I am sharing. I am late today as the weekend got away from me. Lots of yard work and too short of a weekend. Look at this precious Love is...

We have a clothes line in our yard and I love it! There is nothing like sheets that have been dried by the sun and smelling as fresh as a bouquet of Spring flowers!


We took a quick trip to Southwestern Kansas two weeks ago. Nick was finished with his second year of college and we went to Ark City to collect Nick and his things. The weather was good and we were glad we did not run into any big storms.

This was the return trip. Thirty four miles from home. It is wonderful to go on the road and more wonderful to come home again.

Traveling to Kansas we enjoyed the Colorado morning sky. It is so peaceful and quiet and when the sun starts to rise you have to smile.

Nick and his dad, my honey, saying goodbye to the Cowley College campus. Nick made some wonderful friends and will miss them as he journeys on to a new college.

Cowley runners 2012-13. Nick enjoyed meeting so many wonderful new friends.

Cowley Middle Distance runners enjoying some good grub before a race. Many memories.

Alamosa, Colorado. Three hours and thirty seven minutes from our home. Sigh! Love those mountains standing tall

The campus of Adams State College. Nick has looked into this fine school for 2013-14.

We will be heading in the oppose direction of Kansas if we see Nick head to Alamosa. He really loves OSU in Oklahoma where a good friend is going.  But unless a hefty scholarship comes his way he has to navigate the system and get the very best deal he can. In state tuition is always very reasonable. We will pray about it and see what happens.

I shared my late "Z" post, zipping down the highway here with my "A" post, lots of A's including Alamosa, Adams State College, and Ark City, Kansas. I hope you wish Ms.Jenny good health and say a prayer for her to get back to her old self soon. Visit some of the wonderful folks who share their  stories with us here as well as poetry, photos and lots of fun. Let's hope that a Colorado college will be the "Best" deal in Nick's future. Colorado "belongs" in our hearts as all of us in the phamily are Colorado natives. Let me add my "B" contribution to this delayed post.

A perfect "B" quote. Someday's I feel broken. Not in my home life but in my work place. I spend a great deal of time praying. It is the closeness with the Lord that I love. This world is fleeting. But God is forever and it is something that keeps me on an even balance.

This is a good way to look at life. Some people are true blessings. Others are lessons. Those lessons are often hard to take!

So I am going to zip away and hope you learned a little about Alamosa, Colorado and Adams State College as well as blessings and brokeness.
