New style!

I have been trying to get in style a bit. I really like the ruffly look and high heels. I have not usually been so interested in style much before but I really like the ruffles. I don't like high heels either because they seem to make me feel off balance. Haven't worn them in a while. Well I found these cute, cute shoes and I needed some Sunday shoes. They have about a 3 1/2 inch heel that's sort of a wedge look. I especially love the ruffle on the toe and the peep toe style. I'm still looking for just the right pair of peep toe red shoes! What do you think? I actually have been very comfortable wearing these.

Colorado Vacation!

Carl and I were able to get away for a ten day vacation to our favorite spot. The wild flowers were still spectacular even though it was well past their optimal blooming times. The weather was perfect. Showers in the afternoon daily and cool breezy days! I even had to wear my jacket a few times because it was chilly! We drove up to Pitkin and Tin Cup and of course stopped at our spot - Cumberand Pass - to take our yearly picture. We sure missed having our family though. Almost everywhere we went we remembered something that we did with the kids when they were growing up! It was great to be together almost continually for that time but we did spend a little time apart. I had an 80 minute massage one day and then I went white water rafting on the Upper Taylor River one day. Pretty much the rest of the time we were together. It is great to be with my best friend, my husband! We look forward to retirement in a few years yet. Sure hope we can get our family to go next year. It will be our 20th year of going to Colorado.

Colorado!

We finally got to come to Colorado this year! Weren't sure it was going to happen this summer before school started but all things worked out so we have at least 10 days to enjoy the cooler weather and beautiful scenery and for Carl to fish! The Columbines are spectacular this year. I love to see the lovely flowers on the mountainsides and in the wonderful planters all around town. It has been overcast and rainy since we arrived. Today there is supposed to be a real storm this afternoon so we have planned to go to Crested Butte to the movies at the Majestic Theater and have hot chocolate! We certainly wouldn't be thinking of that in Arizona! Carl described his feelings yesterday as we arrived at Spring Creek for some fishing - Euphoria! Hope you all are feeling some euphoria in your lives!
