What a wonderful day today was.
We praise the Lord for all the much-
needed rain we received over this
past weekend.
We once again had a large crowd
for our services, and we continue to
thank the Lord for that as well, and

pray He will continue to bless us
with this.
Our service began with a beauti-
ful special sung by the choir, and
our weekly special was sung by one
of our extremely talented youth.
Our message was brought to us
by Bit). Jim Boyte and was taken
from I Corinthians 15:58, as well as
some other very touching verses
taken from Proverbs and John. Our
service concluded with our taking
of the Lord’s Supper.
Our evening service was brought
to us by our associate pastor, Bro.
J.B. Harlin, as Bro. Jim was out of
town on a personal matter.
We wish each and every one of
you a wonderful week, and may
God continue to bless you and your
family as you go through the week.

Some people called us crazy to
take two dogs and three grandchil-
dren on our trip to Colorado, but the
brave souls we are, we decided to
go-
Ttoo days later we arrived at our
daughter’s home in Evans, Colo.
Later we drove to Loveland, where
we were camping.
The next day, leaving dogs and
grandchildren home, we drove to
Estes Park, a city at the foot of the
Rocky Mountains with 150 shops,
and home to the Stanley Hotel, built
by tjic man who built the Stanley
Steamer.
For lunch we went to Baldplate
Inn, which opened in 1917. It
started as a hotel but is now a bed
and breakfast and restaurant. It is
known for its Key Room, where
keys from all over the world have
been brought by the guests. At last
count in 1988, there were 12,107
keys. It is also known for having
ghosts.
The next day PaPaw took all the
boys to see the new Jurassic Park
III movie while all the girls went to
Estes Park to shop.
Wednesday we loaded two vans
to go to the Rocky Mountains and
Mt. Evans. The children wanted to
find snow to play in, and we did
1 about half-way up, so we stopped to
have a snowball fight. A herd of elk
were grazing in the distance. At
another scenic stop,. a family of
chipmunks were playing on the
rocks. I think they lived there, and
we were interrupting them.
After the Rockies we went to Mt.
Evans. We drove on America's
highest paved highway, 14,260 feet
up. It was a scary road, with drop-
offs on the edge of the pavement.
ITie blondes in the back scat shut
their eyes, too scared to watch. We
saw mountain goats at the top. The
trip down was faster. We stopped at
Echo I.ake for a picnic.
Wc spent the next day in
Cheyenne, Wy., at Frontier Day. We
went to the Old West Museum,
which was located on the grounds.
It has one of the largest carriage
collections, carriages that you can
only see in the movies. On the out-
side was the Indian village. We lis-
tened to flute playing and story-
telling, and watched the Native
Americans dance. At the last dance,
they asked everyone to join them.
My other half and I went to visit
Leadville, Colo., an old mining
town. It is a historical city that
began in 1879 when fortune hunters
came to town by the thousands to
fulfill their dreams. By 1880 it was
a boom town.
The town also produced two
famous people. One was the
unsinkable Molly Brown. Ms.
Brown was a survivor of the Titanic.
Because of heroic acts on the life
boat, plays, books and movies were
made of her life.
Another was Baby Doe Tabor,
who was the owner of the Match-
less Mine. Her husband had become
a millionaire from the mining busi-
ness, but he lost it aii. He kept the
Matchless Mine, and before he died
he asked her not to sell it. She lived
a life of poverty after his death in
1899. She moved into the foreman’s
shack where she lived until she was
found frozen to death on the floor of
the shack in 1935 by a neighbor.
Her shack is now a museum that has
been restored to look as it was when
she lived in it. Restaurants have
been named after Baby Doe’s
Matchless Mine.
We visited the Heritage Museum
and the National Mining Museum
where you could walk through a
mine shaft.
The early mines in Leadville are
dug really close together. On the
way out of town we stopped by
Baby Doe’s mine. It looked the
same as it did a long time ago. We
also went through Baby Doe’s
shack that is by the entrance to the
mine.
It was getting late and we started
back to Loveland, where we were
staying. We decided to take a short
cut over the mountain n^med
Mosquito Range. We had been told
we could make it in our little jeep
want-a-be.
When we tried to go up a moun-
tain pass and had to back down, we
knew it was time to turn around and
go back to Leadville and find a bet-
ter road.
Before coming back to Texas, we
had an early birthday party for
Carly since we would not be in
Colorado on her birthday.
We left Colorado with just one
grandchild, Jay, and two dogs.
