Young Friends at the Beach

This was taken at the beach (Daytona) right before we had dinner that night at Marcia's place. Karli, Marcia, Cheryl - same line up. I guess the sun added all those wrinkles that showed up in the photo taken that night......

Young Friends

We go back to college days, roommates. Karli, Marcia, Cheryl - we are all close to the Denver area. We had mini-reunion at Marcia's place.

Great dinner'

Home Improvements in Rollinsville

Andi sits at her command post, directing the necessary repairs and improvements for her rustic Rolly Retreat. It is not an easy job! Jeff finishes off some trim board, lays a bamboo floor in the bathroom, and for his next act, stay tuned.

View from our soon to be completed room.

The exciting spiral staircase, where Andi managed to knock off some rebar that gave me a mere flesh wound, followed by the death defying decks.

Oops - forgotten Party Animals!

Daisy, Chase and Corona were there too. The rest of these critters I just threw in for critter interest!

90th Birthday - yeah LaVerne!!

My mom celebrated her birthday - June 23, with a big blast at Janelle & Terry's wilderness retreat. There were outdoor games, trivia contest, lots of chatter, terrific food, dog fun, presents, sangria and generally speaking a memorable time. The weather held off until we managed to get mom back to her place, then it cut loose with tons of rain, thunder and lightning.
Party People:
LaVerne, Janelle, Cheryl, Chris, Terry, Becky, Frank, Judy, Jennifer, Jason, Jacob, Daniel, Jill, Greta, Gary, Joe, Chris, Helen, Toby, Peggy, Tom, Ralph, Maureen, Peter

Becky - Frank - Corona

Getting ready for the big blast!

Grocery Shopping in Nederland Colorado

This is our main grocery store. I will no longer complain about prices in the Bahamas. Have to air some things are cheaper here.

Smile Akira

Her lady went into the store, Akira waited next to the mail box.

Goshawk - On Vera Marie Lane

Marty Stauffer of Wild America would be proud of me. While hiking on the road I spied what I thought to be a poor injured bird, wrong. Turned out to be a Goshawk with a rabbit around twice its size. The bird was afraid I was going to take its prize and attempted to fly away, but that didn't work, far too heavy to lift. So the Goshawk drug the rabbit from the road into the forest. I hung around for a while, taking a few million pictures, none very good. From what I read I am lucky the bird didn't attack me!

The Stage Stop - Father's Day
