we had a *big* day yesterday! we took mom just about everywhere. first to frisco (best little mountain spot) where we toured the towns historical first houses/jail/mercantile; all on main street, then to breckenridge, then to the j crew outlet (i mean hello. that is a must), on to echo lake (ice on the lake and so cold), and the grand finale of idaho springs, tommyknockers, and beau jo’s. the best day. and when we got home, a little sunshine and hanging with the neighbors. can every day be this good? happy friday my dears, have a great weekend!

we had the most fun last week. lee, one of my best girlfriends and roommate from college was in colorado visiting with her daughter zoe, papa peter (who graciously invited us to stay at his condo.. thanks peter!!), and sister ally and her husband randall. a very good group to spend some time with i tell ya. lee was the very first person i met freshmen year. we have laughed many times over the story, and i am so lucky to have met someone who would be a lifelong friend on my first day of school. aren’t old friends the very best?!
we stayed in frisco and spent the days running around firsco, breckenridge, lionsgate and vail.. oh vail how i could spend a whole carefree summer there. we went to a german pub, played cards, shopped, ate, had a cocktail party with extended friends of the group, drank champagne, caught up on life and didn’t want it to end. i wish i could teleport so it didn’t have to be so long in between visits! could someone get on with that technology already?

(zoe is captain of her cheerleading squad and hello amazing! she can tumble over & over & over….)
