HOME !!!

Katie and I had a WONDERFUL 3 month vacation.

The drive down from Chicago was uneventful if a bit wet. It's pretty soggy down here

But Katie is prepared. Thanks for following us.... My photos really don't do justice to the

Magnificent Beauty of Colorado. A special Thanks to my Sister and her Family for 

Making this all possible.

SUMMER'S END

The Aspens are starting to turn and it is time to head East.
Katie and Lucy are ready for the ride to Chicagoland.

DOWNTOWN. GRAND LAKE

TIME FOR SEWING

I made Christmas Smocks for Sydney and Samantha. They can be worn over a shirt and jeans or over a dress. If the girls like them, I think I'll make a line for sale out of different fabrics with different themes.

YESTERDAYS' VISITOR

Big Mamma Moose made herself at home in our Moose Pond.

GOLD STRIKE!

Well, we didn't exactly get rich, but we sure had fun. 

HIKE TO LOST LAKE

We found Lost Lake at the top of the mountain about 9800 feet. The dogs didn't waste any time - they ran ahead an lept into the icy water.

BOATING ON SHADOW LAKE & GRAND LAKE

Today was a very warm day for this area so we decided to take a Pontoon Boat on the two connecting lakes. My niece Emily, her husband Jay, baby Foster, my sister, Karen and my great nephew, Miles who helped me pilot the boat. Lucy and Katie stayed back at the cabin and enjoyed the cool slate floor!

Brother arrives

We three "Kids" haven't been together for more than a few hours since we were kids. Glen arrived on Sat., But his car died on the way up the mountain. It was a Toyota Highlander with almost 300,000 miles. After the burial, we still managed to have a great time.

WOW..... The days are flying by!

Karen & I repaired fence in front of her CO Cabin

LAST DAYS IN UTAH

It has been a wonderful month. Karen and Lucy have been here for the past 10 days. We will be heading back to their "Cabin" in Colorado on Sunday. But first we must see the Park City Arts Festival beginning tomorrow.
