August 27, 2014 La Jara, Colorado

I spilled tea on my computer and am very behind in my posts. I am using my older computer while I wait for my new one to arrive any day now. I could not edit photos till I got to this computer, or post anything. I was dying.

We are  back in Colorado on our way to La Jara. The train is the Cumbres-Toltec narrow gauge railroad. It runs from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico.

The oldest church is in Conejos, Colorado. We are visiting Fred and Laurie, friends of John’s that he has known since he lived in Eagle, Colorado, in the  early 70’s. Here is the bus parked at their farm outside of La Jara.

Fred and John as we took a walk around their 26 acres. This caldera cake was made by Laurie and frosted by Suep. They cooked up a lunch of BBQ’d sliders and dinner of BBQ’d steaks.

Fred, John and Laurie getting ready to BBQ. They have a reindeer and this adorable kitty, Rosie.

Laurie and Fred Gonzales, their dogs Smirk and Sally in front of their house. Some of their livestock, the reindeer, named Houdini because he is an escape artist , a llama and alpaca. Fred feeding the llama and alpaca and John feeding the llama.
