Colorado Bliss


Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park

It has taken me some time to get back to my blog - Losing my kid was rough but the support I received from my friends and family was powerful. Thank you to all who stood by and to those of you who sent kind words. Lucy and I felt the warmth and love.
I think leaving for a vacation was the best thing I could do for myself last week. So I did. Thank you to Kathy and Michael for organizing an amazing adventure in Colorado. We spent two days touring Boulder, Lyons and Estes Park and three days listening to music at the 2007 Folks Festival in Lyons, Colorado. We had a great time indulging in the beauty only the Rocky Mountains can offer. The music at the festival was fun and inspiring. The weather was refreshing. The food - Yum! The friends - amazing. I guess the only thing I could have done without was the noises in our cabin on Sunday night - I was so sure there was a bear in our kitchen that I awoke Kathy and Michael so they could save my life. Kathy got up, marched right into the kitchen without any weapons - she didn't find a bear and assured me the newsflash I dreamed up while lying stiff as a board in bed - "tourist eaten by a bear while friends sleep in bedroom" - would not be seen flashing on tv screens across the nation.
I am looking forward to next year's festival.

Kate-I certainly don't mind saving you from the jaws of a great grizzly as long as you don't mind saving me from the jaws of a great white or sea lion this week end while we are surfin'. Hope the surf is up!
Love ya Kathy
