Wooley Duo

: Kym and Susan are a yearly-wool-Mart-duo coming to our inn each year whilst attending Estes Park’s annual Wool Mart. Both ladies are devoted teachers and friends, whom we enjoy “yarn-ing” stories with. This year it was about Kym’s encounter with a bear whom she chased off by flipping on her green porch light, and threatening to call to 9-1-1. Kym, a danger to wildlife…I think not. We wish Susan the best with her pursuit to obtain her masters degree online with “Make Me Crazy University”. Eric and I have daubed it MMCU.

Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool? She had mittens.

Reneawing Wedding Vows in the Rocky Mountains

Photo I took and enhanced as a gift to Ron and Judy.

Ron and Judy renewed their 45 year marriage vows at the base of Lumpy Ridge and Twin Owls rock out-cropping. Eric officiated the ceremony while I took photos.

Ron and Judy are two great people we came to know first as a tired corn farmer-guest, than as a couple…I became a house guest of theirs, later as summer residents, and now we were honored with being apart of their 45th wedding anniversary. Life grand.

Hiking to the ceremony location was fun, but tense for me. I knew as a photographer what I believed would turn out the best, but I din not want to the responsibility of creating the wrong environment for Ron and Judy. If I had it my way I would march people into place. Eric tells me to take charge, than over rides my charge. There is something to be said for not making a hobby into a profession. It became a profession for me a few years ago--and miss the love having it as a hobby.

Car Picnics near Lake Estes

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.

Snow Shoeing in the Park

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.
