The old photos!

 Hi to those who enjoy old photos, which we term Sepia...and weekly we gather whatever we wish to share on Saturday!

Yep I'm a day early, since I don't want to miss Saturday Critters, and it's pretty hard to find old photos that are also critters.

This is my Sepia Saturday contribution. 


A couple of artists, in a dramatic relationship...Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera,.


I love portraits of the generations, but don't know who these women were.


I wasn't here for this pyramid of Heym family members.

On bottom is Norm DeWolfe, Doug Heym, and Rick Heym.

The ladies are Carolyn Heym and Sally Heym.

Top are my sons, Marty (brunette) and Russ (blond.)

My ex is Doug Heym. I took back my maiden name when we divorced.

I am doing better, and slowly getting this "cave in Durango" to look nice and homey. Thanks totally to my son and his wife. They came and rearranged the furniture, then unloaded boxes to shelves, and went out to pick up lunch. 

I had a short nap, and found some of my blogs won't let me reply to comments. Hope that's temporary, because I do love the conversations that occur here...making this true social media.

At least I have ac which makes the 90+ temps each day bearable keeping it around 70 inside.

I went out for about a half hour this morning to a local grocery store, then drove back a different way. I can't wait to have the energy to drive around more and find what's where. So far I saw the court house and post office. And a health food store. The last and maybe the post office will be useful.

The little Durango-Silverton train (narrow gauge but full size cars) just whistled its way by. It passes several times a day...but not at night.


There are several engines pulling the trains, this one yesterday, while today an orange one did the job.


It looked like all the cars were open air, but different set-ups. Some trains had about 10 cars, some just 4...of the few that I've stopped to watch go by from my windows.

  1. Hello, Barb,
    It sounds like things are settling down with the help of your family.
    Neat photos of the train, it would be fun to take a ride.
    Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.

  2. How is the breathing? Have you adjusted to the thinner air already? That guy in the bottom centre of the pyramid with the hair, beard and sunglasses could almost have been me at a certain point in life, but I didn’t have hair like that for long and not just because it all fell out. :)

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
