We took the chance to get out of town for the weekend -- headed to northern Colorado. Even though I was born and raised in southern Colorado where my heart lives; we did go to college in northern Colorado and actually lived there for 10 years. So, we also do have a soft spot for that beautiful area of Colorado.
This weekend, Bob met our son for a short trip to Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park. They were hoping to see the aspen in all of their fall glory; but even though the park was full of people hoping to see the same, there were only spots of color.
A little too early, I guess, but it was a good time for a father/son day.
They dropped me off in Longmont, Colorado so I could attend Quilt-A-Fair for the day. The event has been sponsored by Colorado Quilting Council for many years as their prime fundraiser with vendors and lots of quilts to see.
I hadn't been for several years, so it was great fun to see old friends and to be inspired.
After meeting back up, Mike headed to his home; and Bob and I went to Denver to spend the night. We have a favorite hotel with a steak place close by -- yum, yum -- we split a dinner of prime rib (and still had more than enough).
Sunday was spent antiquing and junk hunting.
What did I buy? Brown transferware, of course, -- a chamber pot and two soup bowls.
Fun weekend, but always nice to be home again.
