Our folks really loved the Southwest!

These photos are of Mom and Dad in New Mexico in 1992 when they went to take classes on how to make Blackware pottery from the famous artist, Blue Corn.

Dad wrote a little book of fables, "Coyote Teaches", and Mom illustrated it. He wrote this for his grandkids and anyone else who might enjoy his 'Coyote the Trickster' folktales.

On the Pottery page, there is another photo of Mom with famous blackware artist, Blue Corn, in Santa Fe, NM.

Dad at the Puye Cliff Dwellings near Santa Fe, NM.

Mom & Dad collecting cow patties with Blue Corn; the patties were used to fuel the fire for firing their pottery which turns it from red clay to blackware.

Mom & Dad's finished blackware pieces.
