It was wonderful, simply wonderful. Thinking back, I decided to choose the TOP TEN memories of our time together to write about here---certainly there are more, but this will just have to do.
NUMBER TEN:
Seeing the two last homes my parents lived in Arvada, Colorado.
In the 1960s, this ranch on West 69th Place:
NUMBER NINE
Visiting the Covenant Retirement Village in Westminster, Colorado that our Dad saw to fruition before his death in 1991--- and seeing Marion Sustad here as a spunky 93 year old!
NUMBER EIGHT
Lunching with the mother of our son-in-law, Jed; Diane Bassett!
NUMBER SEVEN
Speaking of eating, we got to eat (twice) with our niece, Linnea, and see her settled in her new home!
And, we also were joined by our nephew, Andrew, the second time in the city of Denver.
She makes a "mean" chili!!
NUMBER SIX
Catching up with Aunt Norma, our Mom's 93 year old sister...though wheelchair-bound, she has a sense of humor and clear mind. (And she shared a secret or two.)
NUMBER FIVE
Walking through the beautiful Capitol building in Denver.
NUMBER FOUR
Finally taking a tour of the MOLLY BROWN house in Denver.
NUMBER THREE
Teatime in THE BROWN PALACE HOTEL
NUMBER TWO
Being in the mountains again. Vail. Quaking aspens changing colors. Taking a longer hike than we had anticipated!
NUMBER ONE
Sibling time!
The. Best. Trip. EVER!!!
I agree, it was a great visit!! I'm glad you came and that we were able to meet up (twice!).
ReplyDeleteI should have put something about Bruce and Steve, too!
