Starting today, there are 648 days until we leave for our fantastic African safari. We want lots of TQS members to go - so we did the math. If you saved $10.50 a day for the next 648 days, you would pay for the trip. Seriously, that's a sandwich and a soda! Since many of us are looking for a good diet, why not try the "I wanna go to Africa diet?" Or, what about cutting your expensive daily cup of coffee and make it at home for MUCH less? Then of course, there is the, "I'll plan my errands so I can save gas" plan. What else can you do to save a few bucks? Let's go to AFRICA!!!

News flash - spots are filling! We're already one-quarter over or our goal and it's only been announced one week!

Fifteen images of houses, buildings, and scenes from La Veta, Colorado on Easter Sunday 2009. (90 seconds)

We'll the snow continued well into the afternoon! In the meantime, I took the opportunity to photograph some really great houses in our tiny town. Look closely - you'll seel Justin in front of our house on the hill with Katie, Wanda, Raisin, and Mabel.

The colors of Easter mixed with the delicate snow was a treat for my eyes. I hope you will enjoy it too. Collecting these phots was like collecting colored eggs. What did you find in your Easter basket today?

Indeed! La Veta woke up today to a gentle snow. This time of year our snows are very wet - and always much needed! It's not that cold. It's just barely cold enough to snow. So - Happy Easter everyone. What was it like today in your neck of the woods?
