Go Broncos
On Monday I woke up to snow on the ground and more coming down. The power went out, came on and went out again. I felt “snowed in”. Not to say I couldn’t leave the house, but my original plan to drive to Florissant to visit Karen, Stan and Madison appeared to be stalled. After a call from Karen to say that she had Bronco tickets, I decided to give it a go and jumped in Ms Alice. Six hours later I arrived at their beautiful log cabin style home. We jumped in her Outback, picked up the rest of the family from school and headed into Denver. The game was a blast! It rained on us all night, but the Broncos won and we stayed warm with hot chocolate, pretzels and nachos.
The next day Karen and Madison dropped Stan and I off up in the hills (I don’t remember exactly where) and we ran for about 4 hours down to Colorado Springs where Karen met us with chicken burritos. We probably had the most beautiful day of winter running. Up top the wind was blowing the snow crystals off the trees (and down my shirt collar) creating a pretty shimmering in the sun. The sky was a blue like I’ve only seen in Colorado and the temps were perfect. As we dropped down we got off the double track and on to some super fun single track. We diverted a bit to “just see” where this side trail went, and ended up doing a loop up around this small rocky point. Once down in town we opted to thumb back to the high school and easily got a ride. Hitchhiking is interesting.
Pretty worked from the run we headed home for a yummy pasta dinner complete with brownies made by Madison (8 years old). A super fun visit with some great friends; we shared stories that as Madison explained made us more comfortable around each other, I learned a new computer program to make movies out of my pictures and Madison showed me the art of beading and helped me organize my collection. Another beautiful corner of the world.
