Fall is here in Colorado. Judy and Strode took a lovely trip up to the mountains to enjoy the wonderful weather and the color turning on the aspens. It was a perfect day trip. They even made a short stop in one of their favorite little bergs--Georgetown. A picnic lunch was shared under a shade tree to complete a "just right" weekend adventure. We are so blessed to live in this amazing place!

Wow, what a weekend with our son John! It was football, football and more football:-). John arrived late on Friday night -so we scurried to bed to get our beauty sleep. Saturday morning with lunch pack in hand, we headed for Boulder on the famous "Buff Bus". (John definitely lowered the age average on the bus!) We enjoyed a wonderful game at Folsom stadium where the Buffs beat Hawaii. We followed up the game with some yummy Mexican food.

Sunday, looked much the same, except we drove ourselves to the parking lot near Invesco Field to watch the Broncos vs. Seahawks game. It was hot! In fact, it was the hotest game on record at Invesco Field--and we were there baking in the sun. We had a great time in super seats. Sad news with a loss for the Seahawks and good news for the Bronco fans. (We were mixed!) We followed this game with Italian food on the patio.

Needless to say, it was a "just right" weekend with son John.

Here are the "girls" on Labor Day weekend at the Living History Farm in Des Moines, Iowa. We had such a good time looking at all of the "olden" day houses and equipment. We also fit in a pony ride and a freeze pop! Sara and Lori were delightful and charming! Sara was so interested in all of the history and tradition. It was a treat for Grandma and Grandpa to be a part of the tour. During our visit we also got in a couple of meals out, church, and some kite flying. It was wonderful to spend time with this special family. We are blessed.
