July 4-7, 2023 Fort Collins, Colorado

 High of 81, sunny, then very rainy.

We walked to the bus that is supposed to take us to City Park to watch the fireworks. But they evacuated the park because of lightening and the bus was not running. So we walked back to the house, in the heavy rain and got the car. Happy 4th! We were headed to our friends Clair and Dave's house for a before firework party. It was fun to see them and we had a great dinner. 

Clair and Dave live right on City Park so after dinner we walked over and watched the fireworks over the lake. It was awesome. Wednesday I went down to Denver for the glass show. It is called Jus' Sayin'- Idioms in Glass. We had to turn American saying into glass. It is a really cute show, lots of creativity and beautiful work. 

How many glass artist does it take to hang a piece of glass? 

It is a huge show, 99 pieces. Took all day of hard work to get it set up, but it looks great.

My entries. Right as Rain (this is a rain drop), Give it a Whirl.

Thrown a curve, Once in a Blue Moon.

Thinking outside the box. Bear Arms.

It is always darkest right before dawn.  We had a good crowd for First Friday and opening reception of the glass show

I an happy to have sold this piece tonight at the show tonight. Casa Bonita is open again. I would love to go. You have to make advance reservation. They say they have good food now, but it is much more expensive. 

A small snippet of sunset tonight. To the west were dark rain clouds.
