A GREAT week!


It's the last day of our week-long visit with my folks here in Telluride. Not only did they survive staying in the Igloo, but (they claim) they were comfortable and slept well. We all had a lot of fun together hiking, enjoying great meals, watching sports, and enjoying each others company.

The photo above is David and Ronnie at the start of a hike we did through Wilson Meadows, a beautiful area about a 20 minute drive from our house. I think I must have good genes because these guys are strong hikers! In fact this morning, my dad hiked up Bear Creek in a little over an hour, which is more like the time of a person 20-30 years younger. 

Tonight we will enjoy one last dinner out after a string of fun dinners at home. We're going to Cosmo's which is the favorite to all of us. Then tomorrow we'll be off to Montrose to drop them off at the airport, stock up on some groceries and then it's back to the ranch. 

I am working Thursday and Friday at this cute little pet store called Mountain Tails up the street. My friend Jen owns it, and she just lost some of her help and wants to be able to go on a planned vacation. It'll be fun, and I'll earn some extra cash, which is always nice, especially these days.

Susan and Jim - sounds like you had a great visit with Susan's parents. Glad they're into hiking too since we know the Lillys enjoy that a lot. Susan, your mom has sunglasses on but from it looks like you look a lot like her from what I can see. Hope you both get to enjoy some quiet time now and wind down from the end of summer. Even Charlotte is now going into fall with weekend temps in the 70s. Have a great weekend. Hope you to enjoy some hiking.
