Twin lakes...so beauitiful !!

The Little Chapel in the Woods

This is a little church that's nestled in the woods.

There had been a wedding there a few days

before...you could still see some of the flowers.

It's such a romantic place!!!

A real ghost town!!

One day we took a drive to Bodie...
In its heyday in the 1800's Bodie had a
population of 10,000!
This was a gold mining town...only about 5%
of its buildings remain.
People were still living here in the 30's !
The remaining buildings still hold some of
the owners belongings...baby cribs, sewing
machines,school books,etc.
We spent most of the day here...

Virginia City , Nevada

On the way home we stopped in Virginia City.
I loved going here when I was a little !
It really hasn't changed much...and we had a
blast!
Thanks to the kid with the skateboard for
taking our picture...

This is the Silver Queen!!

She resides on the wall of a Salon called the Silver slipper... her dress is made of silver dollars.

I remember seeing her when I was a little girl.

After all these years the Queen is just as beauitiful!!

What a name!! The Bucket of Blood is really famous...or in-famous?!

We heard a wonderful band playing, and just had to go in and see what was going on!!

Dancing on a Sunday afternoon

This was soooo cool!
Most of the town dresses up on the weekends...
The country band was fantastic!
We had a blast watching everyone.

See ya later!!

Happy First Day Of Summer !!

A place to put treasure

I've been in the mood to paint lately.
Ages ago I got one of those plain boxes at
the craft store thinking that someday
inspiration would strike!
This is what I ended up with...
she doesn't have to worry about gas prices!!
