2013 Recap

Well, 2013 was quite a year! A whole lot happened. So many event's, seeing things happen in your life, and your friends lives. This last January, was my brother, and Sister-in-Law's first Stock Show together. 



My first Zane Grey books.






1930's Sedan 

This last year was also my first, to have photographed a coyote, and also learn how to use a film camera, not such a huge deal, but big for me. 



This last year, we had fun going into drainage pipes, and walking the drainage ditches with our friends, jumping across, to see who could make it to the other side all the way on top!



Also this last year, we did lots and lots of fencing around the place. I think we did more fencing this year, than any other year. 


And on May 11th, our friends who live out in Kiowa, had kittens. Most of them have gotten big by now. That was a lot of fun. I never realized how sharp there little teeth were, until one of them bit me while I was playing with it.

The View at Night on Lake Loveland

Also this past year, we had fun going to antique shops with our Grandparents from California, and my brother and his wife. We saw all sorts of cool things, like WWII AAF dress uniforms, old tools, and this cool old wedding dress.

Black Forest Fire from our Road
The Black Forest Fire, on June 11th, was a monumental thing that happened in Colorado this past year. It destroyed 486 homes in that region. We had some friends of ours, at our house, who had been evacuated because of the fire, for three days.   

The View in the Morning: Camping

We had fun camping for five days down south in Colorado last year. We had a wonderful time there. I met some old friends of mine, who I hadn't seen in a long while, and made some new friends. We enjoyed running around in the forest, and doing some of the activities around camp. 

Big Thompson Flood 
The Big Thompson Flood, on September 12th, another monumental disaster that happened this past year. It surpassed water levels, higher, than the ones recorded for the last flood of the Big Thompson. My nephew was born 2 days before the flood.
