BUT

a small plate of love--apple crisp I made for Mackenzie and her roommates

Early on my last morning with Mackenzie

Down town Loveland--a nice place--especially when my daughter lives there.

 This whole semester my Friday class is “studying” SA

Fresh faces all lined up to learn about Argentina, South America!

I am happily enjoying a trip to one of my favorite places on this earth.  COLORADO.

I am additionally pleased that I now have many close friends and family members that call Colorado, the state of mountains and aspen trees, home.

I can successfully ‘couch serf’ for 1½ weeks without overstaying my welcome on any one couch.  You see, I go by the adage that fish and visitors ‘spoil’ after a few days.

My first stop on this trip was three nights on the very comfortable couch in my daughter Mackenzie’s home.  She and her two roommates welcomed me with great enthusiasm and hospitality.  I in turn made myself useful by cooking and doing light yard work—both of which I enjoy.

Next stop began yesterday. I arrived at my nephew’s home in the mountain village of Silverthorne  in the early afternoon.  He and his family, sadly, are off to other parts of the world to visit and play golf. I am taking advantage of the situation by staying in their great home with a 360 degree mountain vista.  I will be writing, singing, resting, and just enjoying myself. 

Happily, part of George’s family will be here to visit with on Wednesday, a day before I need to get back to my ordinary life.  I am looking forward to both the solitude, and seeing them for part of my visit.  I am hoping to get a lot of work done in the next two days.

Speaking of work, I made a side trip on the way up the mountain to visit Montessori Education Center of the Rockies, a training center in Boulder, Colorado.  It was very worthwhile.  I met a delightful woman named Dot. She visited with me, showed me the center, and listened to me explain my ‘life plan’ as it has to do with my music, Montessori, and teaching.  She was encouraging, informative, and supportive to my vision.  This fact should not surprise me, after all, we are both Montessorians. 


Mackenzie has decided to join me for one night and part of tomorrow.  Super Great!!!

ENJOY YOUR DAY AS I AM!
