We managed to sneak in one last trip to the Simpson cabin with Grandma Simpson and spent a couple of days before our summer tour came to an end. The weather was spectacular and unusually warm. As it turned out, this was a good thing because the hot water heater decided that hot water was not going to be happening...Paul, a plumber, a lot of patience, sponge baths, some boiling water, spare parts, some long distance phone calls to Rich...it all worked out in the end!
We checked out the Grand Lake Golf Course, and it has been ravaged by the pine beetles as much of Grand County has been. Poked our heads into most of the little shops along the main street of Grand Lake and gorged ourselves on homemade ice cream cones. We ate a fantastic dinner in town (I have no idea what the name of the restaurant was, but it was good!) and sat at the bar and watched the olymic women's gymnastics with a beer and peach cobbler! It seemed appropriate at the time! Nice choice.
Grandma checked on the little pine tree that Erik planted some 20 years ago...seems either the tree has grown tremendously, or Grandma has shrunk!! Again, it was so wonderful to have access to the cabin all summer...thank you, thank you , thank you!
Seems we all get older...so when we attended a surprise 50th birthday party for a friend from high school...well, let's just say we may be older, but we look damn good!!! Seriously, has it been that long? Seriously? Holy crap! Anyhow, happy birthday Brian, and thanks to Cindy for pulling off a fantastic surprise party! So much fun - so many great memories! (Yes, I will continue to pay you to NOT repeat some of those stories from Douglas County High School class of ?! Seriousy?!) Happy Trails!
