Still - I am ready to go back again. We had lots of fun and adventures some planned, some not planned, we made lots of new memories. A few highlights... Oh there were so many - and so many laughs, visiting with our friends Deb and Larry (Deb works for Frontier and got us the buddy passes which worked out just fine once WE worked out a bug or two and made a second trip to the airport for Rich's golf clubs that didn't make it on the plane the first time, this was securities fault not Frontier's), having my first beer in two years at TOMMY KNOCKERS, in Idaho Springs on the way to Vail. They had the best Garlic - Parmesan French Fires. It was a bit rainy and I couldn't have the camera out much but I would love to go back to this picturesque town and shoot about 100 pictures... We spent 3 days in Vail and between the thunder and rain, the guys even got out for a little golf. Larry, took us sport clay shooting on Sunday - Rich and I both learned how to shoot a gun for the first time and it was the last thing on earth I would ever imagine myself doing but it was a real kick. I hit 3 of about 70 round orange clay disc somehow and I haven't a clue how I hit them. At one point being the expert marksman/women that I am - I asked Larry can these bullets hurt you.... He assured me they were real and you could take someones head off with them. Suddenly this was not as much fun as it was 10 minutes ago..... #1 rule SAFETY FIRST - and it will remain fun. Yes, I would do this again. Like I mentioned these are just some highlights. Monday it was time for our 3rd trip to the Denver airport - Rich was flying home and I was staying to have lunch with Laurie, my friend Donna's daughter who lives in Aurora (friends since we were 10), visit Archivers (baby mecca of scrapping) and see some of the sights of Denver with Debbie. Back to Laurie she is having her first baby and since I am the always adopted auntie and I was in her town I just had to see the baby bump. 
We don't know yet if it is a Boy or Girl Sprout....
Tuesday it was back to the airport for our 4th trip... I was meeting our friends Robin and Jim, who were flying back from 10 days in Kauai. After a nice car ride to pick up their new puppy Max (14 weeks) it was back on the road to Morrison.... where they have now lived for a year (since leaving Irvine last August, this has not been easy for Robin who is beach loving native of California) in a beautiful mountain home with panoramic views of the mountains. Jim told me not to go out alone at night since the week before they had seen a mountain lion in their backyard. Yeap, that is a little different than Irvine when you look out your window and see someone driveway. They also have moose, deer, bear and fox that travel through the yard... YIKES... I did see the fox and deer and that was quite enough wild life, thank you. 
My friend Robin is in my opinion one of the best folk art designers ever. I can scrap book but she can do amazing things with Styrofoam, paint and wires. She designs for DEMDACO and if you click on the link it should take you to her Mistletoe Manor Collection. She has several other lines as well and if you are a snowman lover..... Check it out or buy some of her collections at your local (hopefully, they carry her line) gift store. A few more pics to share and time to move on... Happy Day... God Bless...!!!!
Max the puppy .... like you couldn't tell..... 
view from Robins's deck in her back yard.

This is very funny since there are no Yachts or Lakes nearby....
View from Larry and Deb's place in Vail. I guess you could call this white water view....
Thank you, Debbie and Larry for some memories that will last forever. In case you want to run for public office I left out some of our finer moments and no I didn't take pictures so you won't see your self on the front of NE....
Robin and Jim, thanks to the two of you too.... Water is like friendship it should never be taken for granted. xxoxoxo
