3Hello, we have finally gotten settled in our summer home and have already had guests. Yes, I know we are really taking risks doing so..but these guests were members of my family that we have already been around during this lockdown.
My niece Jill is a nurse and lives in Santa Fe, NM. She was raised in Texas...which explains the shirt.
Julie her sister is a teacher and does live in Texas. She travels to students homes that are unable to attend school because of health issues, many of them with terminal illnesses. I so admire the work she does.
We had a wonderful time during their very short visit.
Other than entertaining guests we have finally started our morning walks...

We have several old homes like this in this little mining town, most were built sometime in the 1870’s. Not sure what will ever be done with them. They are protected by the historical society but if something isn’t done soon ...they will certainly fall down and just become a pile of rubble.
Some of the homes have been lovingly cared for. Hard to tell but this sweet little place is almost as old as the other. The bay windows were a luxury item at the time.
It’s next door neighbor is what is called a shotgun house, because the rooms are all lined up one after the other. You see if you shoot a shotgun at the front door..The bullets would go straight out the backdoor.
This little log cabin at the end of the block has been well taken care of and added on to.
Always happy to see a bunny ....it means there are no mountain lions roaming about,
and this beauty was a showplace in it’s time....and you might guess correctly if you guessed that the owner owned the local saloon!

Dearest Jeany,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to read you have settled in and had some dear family as a guest. That Covid nonsense is just political manipulation!
Glad you had dear Jill over, what a generous lady with a big heart for doing the work she does!
Isn't it sad to see old buildings from that era becoming rubble over time?!
WHY is the US not realizing they ought to save its history; the little they have.
Well, those New World Order thugs that vandalize buildings and statues, want to erase our history.
God forbid that the liberals win!
But the good thing is that we're at an age that it barely will touch us much.
It is the young(er) generation that ought to stand up and fight for their freedom!
Sad fact is that so many of them have been brainwashed at college... and some even turned against their Parents!
How sweet to see the bunny; always loved them and what a wisdom about the mountain lions not roaming around.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette,,
DeleteI enjoy blogging, but I try to stay away from political conversations. I feel everyone has the right to their feelings, which by the way may not necessarily be mine.
Must be a relieve to make other walks at last and see something different. We feel almost like real old seniors that go nowhere anymore....
ReplyDeleteThe rabbit is cute.
ReplyDeleteHow Wonderful - Such A Peaceful Post - Hope Your Strength In The Shoulder Is Returning - Stay Strong And Keep Walking
ReplyDeleteCheers
So pleased to hear you arrived safely Janey, and what super company for a while. Lovely to see the homes you pass when on your walk. I would be pretty pleased there weren't any mountain lions around too 😉
ReplyDeleteHow great to have guests and get to visit with family. I love all the houses you've featured from your walk. I bet that mountain air is feeling very good right now. Much better than our excessive heat here.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying your mountain home. Breckenridge is very busy. We tend not to go into town.
