Hi all! Here we are on New Year's Eve all cozy and warm in the Cow Palace Best Western Hotel in scenic Lamar, CO. We thought we had a way out today, but the highway never opened so here we stay for another day. The sun did arrive today and the snow stopped. How beautiful it looked. We took lots of pictures on a stroll around the parking lot and a little way down the highway. We will post the pictures as soon as we can. We also have pictures of the wreck that we will post.
There are many things to do at the Cow Palace. If it was warm, we would be "enjoying???" the odors of the local feed lot. Since it is cold we have been spared this pleasure. If we had brought our swim suits we could be swimming or enjoying the hot tub. The food is GREAT!! Steve said it's the best coffee ever. The staff and management have bent over backwards making our stay as comfortable as possible. They have been stranded here also since even the local roads are covered with snow drifts up to 8 feet tall. We have entertained ourselves with riotous games of Rummikub, meeting new friends, and eating.
Carol and Faithe are doing great also. We're all a little tired of hotel living, but are sure glad to be here, alive and warm. We hosted a church service this morning in the Colorado Room of the hotel. Three people in addition to our family came. We had a good time of scripture reading, prayer, sharing of testimonies, and singing to the Lord.
We will add more as the adventure continues. We wish you all a very Happy New Year!
Steve and Karen
