"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
To me, this means that even though no one tells us about GOD, we should just know that he exist because of his creation (the heaven, earth, and specially us).
This site is about our awesome GOD and His creations, specifically Querida, Colorado. Why Querida? Because my husband and I live in Querida (the only human inhabitants of Querida at present time). Living in Querida made us closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because we have plenty of time to devote in reading His Holy Bible. We used to live in San Diego with over 7 million inhabitants. Now we live in Querida with our pets (2 cats, 2 parrots, a desert tortoise, and about 13 feral cats that live beneath our house). We also live with our visitors (wild deer, rabbits, bears, wolfs, big horn sheep, coyotes, elks, chipmunks, prairie dogs, wild turkey, foxes, birds (magpies, blue jays, hawks, humming birds, pigeons, black birds, crows, blue birds etc.) and much much more. We love Querida for its hills, mountains valleys, wildness, solitude and most of all the feeling that we are constantly protected by our loving GOD.

Querida's School around 1940's. The chimney' the only reminder of the old school today.
This photograph was taken around 1975 or 76. Notice the school bus at the buttom right handside. The school and school bus no longer exist.
These are the type of cabins where Mary's family lived. Like the school and the bus, these cabins no longer exists.
One afternoon Mary and and her friend came to see us about two years ago. She pointed out where her home was located, the school, the hotel, the general store and her neighbor's homes. It's the same Mary that's in the school photo above.
