Friday in Colorado

Well, we made it to Fort Collins, Colorado. We drove from Corrales, New Mexico to Colorado Springs, Colorado on Wednesday to spend the night with Virgialee and Larry Tucker who are the parents of our daughter-in-law Tracy who lives in Ohio. We had a beautiful drive up and a great dinner and evening with the Tuckers.

Thursday morning we woke up to howling wind and blowing snow. They were forecasting 3 to 8 inches in the Denver area with more to come on Thursday night. Naturally they were wrong, thank God. We made the drive from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins with not much trouble.

We stopped at a great saddle and tack shop in Brighton, Colorado. I could have stayed there for hours, but Betty reminded me of the purpose for our trip - not shopping, but going to see our granddaughter, Juliet, our son, Wade Daniel and our daughter-in-law, Marie.

Betty's sister, Margie, and stepmother, Nita, flew from Nashville, Tennessee to Denver on Thursday. We were concerned that they would be late because of the snow and fog, but they actually arrived 30 minutes early.

Today, Friday, Marie's parents, Gary and Nancy Jo Davis, drove up from South of Denver to have lunch with us. Here are some pictures from today. First, Juliet getting her daily exercise.

Tomorrow, Saturday, we're driving to Estes Park for the day. It should be a lot of fun. If we have time we'll post some pictures from that trip. God's blessings to everyone.
