July 7-12, 2019 Fort Collins-Denver, Colorado


I went biking at dusk today. The bike path and river are closed where they are working on the new play park in the river. I went onto the College Ave bridge to check it out. It is looking nice. The foot bridge, drops and landscaping, rocks etc are all new. It looks lovely, but I wish they would open the bike path, I hate having to detour along the streets, but looks like they are redoing the bike path and it is dirt right now. We had dinner at John and Mandy's house. John G smoked yummy ribs for dinner. Many made coleslaw and potato salad, I made a green salad. Mandy made wonderful chocolate/ tofu mousse with raspberries. John G, John M, Anne and Mandy.

One of the glass displays in our house. I sold the Aspen piece at the bottom. I really like it and the light looks really good through it. I will have to make another for that spot. John has been experimenting with different waffles for dinner. The other night he made vegetables and  brown rice waffles. Tonight and pictured here are waffles made from purple sweet potato topped with meat loaf. Yum! 

Sunset tonight over McMurray ponds and sunset over the feed store. Wild looking cloud.  

This is currently firing in my kiln as I type. The top left will be a basket bottom. The other two wavey pieces will have sea turtles and mermaids swimming around when they are done. After firing the pieces are on top of the molds they will be slumped into. After I add the turtles to the blue one. The shadows in the mold make it look like there are more lines than there are. The green on will get a turtle and mermaid. 

John is outdoing himself getting me birthday season presents. This time is it a new toilet seat that slowly lowers the seat! Sunset on McMurry pond on my bike ride. 

Flowers from my bike ride. This Mexican hat has some red in it, blanket flower and some yellow cone flowers. Sunset over a lovely farm. 

I am in Denver staying at my friend Katy's house. Her garden looks fantastic. We went to the Arvada center to listen to the Denver symphony playing Mozart under the stars. It was wonderful. 

We sat in the grass to watch the show. Katy and Terri during intermission. At the very end of the concert it started to rain. No enough to make everyone leave tho. We had a great time. 

John took me out to dinner tonight. Being Friday at dinner time we walked to Stuff it and had burgers and the best parmesan garlic fries. The womans had this great sign at the door, John was disappointed that the mens just had a plain handicapped men/women sign. I got a coupon for a free ice cream sundae at Ben and Jerry's from State Farm for my birthday. So here it is, we split it.  
There was even a free concert in the Old Town Square, sponsored by Ben and Jerry's. I think it was for my birthdays season.
