Visit from a Rocky Mountain neighbor

 

 

Walked out our door this afternoon and Mr Moose was right in front of our RV. He had decided that our yard was a good place for an afternoon snack. So far have seen moose, elk and fox in the campground.

One Lonely Red Sox Fan

  Nobody wanted to sit with this guy wearing a Red Sox hat. Can't understand - Rockies vs Marlins, National League Ball park. What's the deal?

Pre Game Shots at Coors Field

 
 
 
We're outside Coors Field heading to the Will-Call window to get the tickets that Joe got for us. Here's another photo of Joe at the office - tough job but someone has to do it otherwise you can't see the game on TV or on the Jumbotron ( that's the big screen inside the park ) and of course more of the Rockies fans - Colby and Kari.

Family Events

 

 

 

 

While staying at Gerry and Jean's we did the usual family get togethers. The dinner scene photo was at Murphy's in the Boulder area and then Joe was nice to get us free tickets to see where he works and to watch the Colorado Rockies play Florida Marlins. We had great seats on the top tier of the park right behind home plate. We did have some fans who sat behing us and kept annoying Jan and I - kept intruding on our photos. The guy behind the big camera is Joe. Thanks Joe.

View from the Leverentz CG

 

Arrived at Gerry & Jean's house ( CG ) on 5 May and this is the view of the front range and snow capped Rockies from their house. We're here until we head up to Grand Lake on the 15th for the summer.

Dinner at the Woods

 

We had a wonderful get together at Rosemary and Frank Woods' house. Got to catch up on all the Kingsport news & what all the families are doing. In the photo we have left to right...Ted & Jan, Frank & Rosemary Woods, Larry & Ann Johnson, Bruce and Elaine Edwards and Lucy Simmons. Bruce, thanks for being the official photographer.

"Rescue Dog" Our New Travel Buddy

 

 

This is before and after photos of Patches. We rescued him in the Greeneville, TN area. Under all that hair is a 15 lb little dog. He needed a hair cut, bath and a checkup at the Vets. Now he is making himself right at home. Even Scout likes having him around. Vet thinks he is 4+ years old, a shih tzu/Lhasa Apso mix and in surprisingly good health. What is great is that he is already house trained and sleeps through the night without any problems.

St Mary's Glacier

 

 

 

Colby and Joe had a great day of snowshoeing at St Mary's Glacier in the mountains near Denver.

Day at Boca Grande Beach with the Thorsons

 

 

 

 

Had a great day getting to know Bill, Mary, & Carrie Thorson, as well as Bill's sister, Patty. We were in the resort area of Boca Grande, FL, on the gulf side near Englewood. Ted and Jan decided this would be a great place to own a winter get away. Maybe we could buy the house next to the George H W Bushs'.

Visit with Cameron and Carrie

 

 

 

We enjoyed seeing Cameron and meeting Carrie and her family, while in the Venice, FL area. Also, was able to find a Mexican restuarant, so we could treat Cameron to one of his favorite types of food.....don't know if it measured up to his favorite spot in Kingsport...La Carita.
