Enjoying Colorado.
Denver through a rain spattered windshield. We drove down for another fun dinner with family at Steve and Chris Fink’s house. Steve, Justin, Chris, Ray-my older brother, Jerry-younger brother, Reed, John and Morgan. We kind of had a mixture of left overs from the previous 3 garden party dinners we had.
Barb Flowers and I. In another life I was married to her son, when he and I split up Barb and I decided to stay related. We had an early Mother’s day dinner. I went biking in Fort Collins and saw this great RV/boat!
John Moran and John Gross went kayaking this afternoon. Afterwards we hot tubbed and happy houred at John and Mandy’s house. Mandy, John and John. John is a tequila connoisseur. I just love tequila, so we had our choice to taste.
Chris our across the alley neighbor and his wife are taking their new camper out on it’s maiden voyage tonight. We checked out the inside. It is in the alley in front of our land home (sticks and bricks house). It is a huge 2 bedroom apartment over a very large man sized, toy box garage. My studio is also in the garage. Behind the camper or in front of the garage is a beautiful 100 year old brick house that John has restored. It is rented now to professor at the university who has lived there for at least 6 years and takes great care of it and the yard, and pays rent. If we ever move out of the motorhome we will move into the front house , but right now the renter takes care of it. John and John kayaked the Poudre river again today on the class IV run Mishawaka. I boated with Mandy on the filter plant-a class III (It has one class III rapid, rest much easier). John M took this photo of John G surfing a wave on the river.
It started raining this afternoon. We are supposed to get snow from tonight into Monday. What on earth is that?? We walked down the bike path to the Poudre River festival. They were supposed to clean up the river some in the am, but it is still too muddy. In the afternoon there were booths with food ,drinks and non profits booths, live music. Great music the band when we arrived was a good blue grass band. John had waffles for dinner. A waffle with fried chicken on top, sausage gravy and maple syrup. They had deadly sweet waffles (ice cream, chocolate etc) and savory ones, like the chicken one, or salmon.
We ran into Barry Golob and his girl friend Barry. I had a hummus wrap for dinner from this giro stand. The guys were really funny. They said we looked cute, so I had them take our photo.
New Belgium brewery is in Fort Collins. This sign says the owner was biking his way across Europe one brewery at a time, decided to start a brewery in Fort Collins and call his first beer Fat Tire. John is demonstrating that his jacket has beverage holders on it. It was quiet handy when he was eating his waffle.
I took this photo on the one moment it was sunny, but you can’t tell. A good time was had by all. The last band The Holler was really good. Got the crowd hopping, clapping and dancing.
On the walk home we discovered a new winery in town. Beautiful tasting room. We tasted.
