Pearl Street, Boulder Colorado

Yesterday was fun. It was spent with family and that was one of the best parts. My niece and her family live very near Boulder and she and her son joined us for a stroll along Pearl Street. Later we had dinner with her and her family at their home. Good food, good company and card games around the kitchen table, what more could a girl ask for?

I didn't take a lot of pictures but I have lots of lovely memories of this day.

How could I pass by without stopping to appreciate this handsome fellow? Bison are my favorite animals!

Back with more again soon.

What the Heck?

I have no idea what is going on with my finger. The redness started yesterday. This morning it is very itchy and is more swollen. 

In other news we had a lovely drive through Colorado from Durango to Boulder. I am looking forward to spending some time with my niece and her family.

We have a suite here with a small kitchenette and it is nice. Jim is happy because the channel lineup includes Bloomberg which he has on while I am writing this.

I am ready now to finish my cup of decaf and start returning retweet favors.

Riding the Train

Yesterday we rode a train from Durango to Silverton. I had lots of nice pictures but somehow my phone is messed up and not saving them and backup to Google Photos is not working and my camera battery died. So there is all that.

Would I recommend doing this trip? Yes. The ride along the Animas River is beautiful. Wish I could show it to you.

Durango Colorado

We started out yesterday on our grand loop road trip. We ended yesterday in Durango Colorado with a great dinner. If you are every in Durango and you like smoked meats check out Serious Texan Bar B-Q, seriously. Jim had one of their tacos and I have a brisket sandwich and a salad. The location was nice too. Right on the river and we ate on the patio so we could hear the water sounds. 

We did have to wait in line and I think that is probably usual. There is also a drive through option and was busy too. Be prepared for that and you will be fine.

Good Morning

Today's post is going to be short and maybe a bit sweet. We are getting ready to leave home for another July, let's celebrate our anniversary trip. I am looking forward to this trip and dreading it at the same time. I like visiting new places but travel brings me a certain level of anxiety that I need to control or I tend to get grumpy and snap at Jim. That is not fair to him.

20 Years Ago, Canada

Twenty years ago this week we were in Canada. We drove from Salt Lake City to Calgary. We were there during the famous Calgary Stampede and were excited to go to that festivity a few days during our visit. 

On this day, however, we were at Lake Louise. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. The hotel was beautiful inside and out. We went into the lobby and were soothed by the music of a harp player. Outside on the shore, the beautiful blue lake was busy with folks like us, tourists, but it somehow still managed to be a peaceful place.

It was pointed out on signs on the walkway that the glacier that feeds the lake is receding. I imagine the way things are going that in the twenty years since then it has changed even more.

Nothing to See Here

I don't want to break the habit of writing every morning even though I don't have much to share today. 

We did watch 2 movies last night on Amazon Video. We can see a lot of what Prime Video has to offer since we have a Prime membership. So what did I watch and knit through while Jim dozed but claimed he saw the movies? First was Rams, a story about 2 sheepherding brothers in Australia. I don't want to give anything away so I will leave it there. Second was Silver Linings Playbook. I had seen this one before, but Jim hadn't. He tried but fell asleep anyway. Both were good movies or at least this is one old ladies' opinion.

If you aren't a Prime member you can use this affiliate link for more information if you are curious about what Amazon provides with the membership.
