Exploring Colorado with Friends

Lunch at West Flanders on Pearl St. in Boulder

We had such a fun weekend visiting with Cathy, Ellen and Wendy from "the 'hood." On Saturday 11/19, the ladies went to a Christmas craft fair, we had dinner at Annette's in Stanley Market and ice cream at Little Man. On Sunday, we explored the Pearl St. Farmer's Market in Denver and then spent the afternoon on Pearl St. in Boulder. Sean Astrup and Jess Dallas joined us for dinner at Avanti (we forgot to take pictures 🙁)

The fun continued with another great day on Monday exploring downtown Denver. We visited the Capitol building, had high tea at the Brown Palace hotel and then spent the afternoon at the Monet exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. Credit to Wendy for being an amazing cruise director!

We sent the ladies off on the train to the airport but couldn't resist a picture in Union Station

Kevin Goes Hunting

On Saturday November 9th Craig Hospital offered a skeet and pheasant hunting outing. It was a little too hot for the pheasants to fly but Kevin enjoyed the skeet shooting and the track chair. Jean Anne enjoyed reading and the sunshine.

A Visit to the Garden of the Gods

Now that we've settled into a bit of a routine, we try to use the weekends to explore. The drive and visit to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs did not disappoint; red rock formations, with some snow on the ground and we got up close and personal with some deer.

It's finally snowing here in Colorado and we're stuck inside, so why not update the blog?!? Many of you have asked "when are you going to update the blog?" so hang on, this will be a long one. The Sparknotes version is...we had a wonderful holiday season traveling to California for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and then back to Colorado to continue to focus on Kevin's rehab. In between we're getting back to the "real life" as best we can traveling and spending time with our kids. Thanksgiving 2019 Home sweet home! We traveled to California for Thanksgiving. Kevin was happy to be in his own home for the first time since August 1st. We were greeted by a beautiful "Welcome Home" banner courtesy of our wonderful friends and neighbors. All three kids and Sinna were home to celebrate Thanksgiving. We feasted on all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, sharing the day with the Schnebles, Fators, Haneys and Marie Astrup. T...

Labor Day

Jenn & Jean came to visit Kevin spent the morning with two colleagues from Health Advocate, Jenn and Jean. We all enjoyed a super-fantastic homemade peach pie from Jenn’s grandmother 's recipe. Jenn was also celebrating her largest ever sale while at Health Advocate. Meanwhile our amazing neighborhood in Irvine had a "pot party" in our yard. It was bring your own pot and take some succulent cuttings from our yard. Look at the beautiful arrangements they made while maintaining our yard. Thanks to all who helped!

Rain & Visitors!

Sorry these updates are a little out of order. On Sunday September 8th, we sat outside watching the pouring rain and hail. Only the people from California will understand why....we never see this kind of rain or hail. Kim Morse came to visit for dinner on Sunday and then again on Tuesday Sept 10. Carolyn arrived on Monday September 9th. Kevin enjoyed introducing Carolyn to the nursing staff and all his therapists. They enjoyed Turkish food with Jess and Kim and Thai food with Sean and Jenn. It's raining, it's pouring!!! Rain is so cool! It's raining out so, we had pizza with Kim in the lobby Jess Dallas' friend Jenny works in the PEAK gym at Craig and was looking for him...small, small world! Kim Morse, Jess Dallas, Carolyn & Kevin enjoying Turkish food No question where her curly hair and smile come from....happy to see each other!
