Big Doin's in Chinle

                                      We have a hardware store in Chinle!

                   Ace Hardware opened in Chinle. The Grand Opening in April, 2012, was a great success.

It was very exciting - everyone was there!

Former Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley spoke most eloquently, in Dine Bizaad of course, about economic development on the Navajo Reservation, and the positive impact of business such as Ace Hardware blazing the trail.

President Shirley graciously allowed us to have our photo taken with him. We were pleased. President Shirley continues being proactive in community service since his term expired. 

Afterwards, we celebrated with luncheon at the swap meet. Others had the same idea; Goody's is a popular local lunch spot on Fridays.

 Enchiladas and tamales topped off our morning just right.

It is wonderfully convenient to have our very own hardware store in Chinle!

Canyon de Chelly, April

A beautiful April day in Chinle

led me to take a stroll down White House Trail in Canyon de Chelly.

Wading in the wash was a refreshing treat.

The sky and clouds and cliffs delighted me throughout my leisurely walk.

I returned refreshed and ready for life above the rim.

Zazzle!

Signs on the Rez

The general public relies on signs for guidance and direction. It is no different here on the Rez than anywhere else; thoughtfully placed signs keep the populace smoothly flowing in the right direction. 

Keeping the landscape pristine is important!

Safety first!

Keep the good guys in.

The star is not only bright, but morning.

Rodeo rules on the Rez!

There ain't enough room for the both of us.

Considering a kitchen remodel?

Take note, all you credit card transactions.

We must consider ourselves warned.

What's vending mean?

In case you're lost.

Get out the washcloths and scrub brushes!

Whether seeking goods, services or directions; whether you need help deciding what to do or where to go, Rez signs are certain to lead you on.
