Sam uncovered. Rarly seen in public Sam agrees to a private interview with Gilded Pine Meadows B&B hosts.

Sam is an navel engineer with a passion for creating song and music. He wrote and composed a rock opera about William Babel, a journalist for the Red Cavalry. The story unfolds on the fields of battle as Babel gathers observations for his crowing literary achievement. This album is a master piece of intelligent sound, intense lyrics and heart stopping rhythm. The unique style is impressive and fun to take in with friends.

Kat autographs the CD along with Sam. Thank you Sam and Kat. Our time with you both was an honor we'll remember with fondness. Click to view list of upcoming engagments.

Car picnic at Lake Estes is one of our favorite ways to spend time together by the lake...with food. If you haven't heard Estes Park enjoys mountian inspired winds this time of year. A car picnic has been our way of enjoying the views, eating home cooked delights in the sun safe from the gentle gusts of winter.

Eric getting ready to snow shoe with friends. Snow shoeing is a blast! Our friends Ron and Judy shared the experiece with us. Graciously sharing their equipment with us and making sure our time was pleasant and fun.

January and February are wonderful times to snow shoe. We found that in late March we had wonderful sunny days to enjoy the magical views of snow covered mountains. Here we sit at Ron and Judy's vacation rental after a filling Gilded Pine Meadows B&B breakfast.

We sits...here is Eric sitting after clearing the breakfast dishes.

Here is I sitting having tea.

Each day Eric practices his singing and guitar strumming, so this is part of our daily routine. Come summer he'll do a few open mics 'round town.

Hitting the gym each week is mucho importante. Keeps us healthy and energetic...is my elbow sagging?

Eric has been working out his whole life, so pulling and pushing weights is his idea of normal. The i-pod is a new addition to his work out, it keeps chatty people at bay, says he.

Eric pulling weights.

Gym friend, Ricardo, is respectful and always smiling.

"Smile" By the way we provide discounted health club passes to our guests.

Rocky Mountain Health Club has a hot tub and a steam sauna, along with tanning beds, racquetball court, yoga classes...and more. Click this photo to get taken to website.

Back to work we go... Eric shown here cleaning the front porch.

Eric attends to details, while I follow him around with a camera.

We rest and listen to more tunes, while Maggie keeps an eye out for guests. This is a typical private time in our home. I must say, as I write this I send out a word of thanks for such a beautiful life and happy family.

Does this look posed? Well, I felt goofy taking this shot, however, I wanted you to see us in a photo together.

I change out the wreath every so often by adding and removing dry flowers. Today I added a few miniature roses for Valentines. After seeing it in this photo I'll take out the lavender thistles.

Maggie's day is packed full with security procedures such as going from window to...

door...watching...

...and keeping an eye out for new arrivals and passer-byes

Mountain cotton tail. Better known as, Our-little-Lacy is our wild friend. She lives in a rabbit hole near the bottom of the driveway. Daily she comes up to the hot tub deck to say hello. She's got a live in friend we've named Casey. Both blond-bomb shells, with a twinkle in their eye, and a zest for life.

Today Eric and I got all gussied up and attended a local-celebrity sing along with Brad and Kathy Fitch.

The library updated the children's area to add room for live music and wild parties! The scandals behavior in this town is shameless.

A mural depicts a wish we granted. Library's are a nice place to enjoy peace.

Closed for a few weeks means no library during a time us tax paying locals use it most.

This is the view out the upstairs window of the library. Here they have FREE Wi-Fi for all to enjoy year around.

Eric uses the library computers often as an alternative location to work on his commodity charts. Wireless internet and computer usage is free and easy at the library in Estes Park. We too offer wi-fi. We don't, however, have a computer available for your use here at the B&B.
