Delta: City of Murals

This morning we slept in a little after our big day and rather late night.

Our RV park has a couple little cabins and we had secured one for Debbi and Steve.  Staying in there is really just glorified camping, but they are good sports and went with the flow.

As we were cleaning up from our late breakfast who should surprise us with a visit but Karl's Uncle Myron and Aunt Karen from Grand Junction.  They were out for a Sunday drive; headed up to Grand Mesa to check out how far spring had advance up there and decided to stop by our place on the way.  What a great surprise.  Steven has known Myron since he was a little kid and they were all members of the same church in Longmont, CO.  In fact, Debbi and Steven had stop by to see Myron and his late wife, Gloria, on their honeymoon, but it has been decades since they have last seen each other.

As you drive into Delta Colorado a sign announces that it is"the city of murals" so we set out to discover a few after Myron and Karen resumed their Sunday drive.  Started with a portion of some special funding for urban renewal in 1986, the mural project continues today.  We have discovered at least two that have been added since we lived here in 2006-7.
