July 14-24, 2018 Fort Collins, Colorado



Dinner tonight at the Rio with Martha, Barry, Sue, John, Lydia, Colin, Mandy, John and Jimjim to celebrate Colin's birthday, a little late. But better late than never. Barry had another BBQ on the lake. Mandy and Barry kayaking on the Long Lake.
 

 Barry ahead of me as we explored the wet lands. Pelicans. There were tons of these little islands where the damsel flies were mating and/or laying eggs.

 John, John G, Mandy and Barry having dinner by the lake. John G incredulously pointing out that John, my sweet hubby really does walk on water. 

These are the more expensive seats, they are right on the water. Sunset with pelicans.


Sunset from my boat.

Today two basket friends came over and we shared knowledge. Rae Ann  with some of her intricate baskets. I am looking forward to  working with some of my new dyed needles like she has in hers. I met Rae Ann on the Pine Needle basket Facebook page. Sandy also came down from Torrington, WY but she sneaked out before I got her photo.Sandy is new to pine needle baskets. But she makes these beautiful lariat rope baskets. She brought me this pretty one as a gift. Sandy and I went to the same high school but don't remember meeting each other then. It was fun to see her. 

Sunset from our deck last night and sunset tonight from the bike path. Been too hot to go outside, high 90's. Only going out in the evening. John walks early in the am. 

Just as I got ready to go out biking this huge storm rolls through and it even hails. When it finally quit I headed out on my bike. Mammatus clouds after the storm.

Mammatus clouds on the bike path. Going over this bridge was like riding in an optical illusion. 

Sunset and I have been making belt buckles, earrings and pendants. 
Last night my brother Jerry took us out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. John is holding up the green tea ice cream they brought me for my birthday. John, me, Cecil and Jerry.
