We had good intentions of sharing a mountain pass or two but we neglected to bring the snowplow. All passes are closed until spring…… : (
There is still some aspen color around and occasional 70+ temps but the days they are a-changing…..
We are beginning to gather our thoughts and our plans and to think of moving on out. I have many mixed feelings about leaving this majestic area. But, on the other hand, the thought of sunny and hot warm days is also appealing.
Last night we joined a big crowd to help an amazing couple celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary. They had a 50's Rock and Roll theme and most everyone came appropriately garbed. The decor was perfect down to the tiniest detail, the DJ played and the crowd of mostly lively seniors outdid themselves on the dance floor. They served Sloppy Joes, cole slaw, potato chips and root beer floats…Perfect !! Vera and Rich are two of the most active people we know. They are the first to lead the group on our hikes, active golfers and have a wonderful joie de vivre. And great role models for all of us of a certain age.
And speaking of aging …. when you have the time, skim thru this interesting piece on living past 75. I have to think about it a bit before I comment. http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/09/why-i-hope-to-die-at-75/379329/
Interesting point of view, but I wonder how he will feel at 73, like me. I'm sure not ready to say bye-bye in two years.
ReplyDeleteWow...so the passes are already closed! The pictures of the snow caps are so pretty. And I'm still liking the fall color.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about the article...Joe's mom lived to be 95. She always said God put her in this world and He would decide when it was time to go. Her last 5 years were hard, sometimes I think we linger on, not because of ourselves, but for what we can do for others and lessons they need to learn...just thinking!?!?!?!?
