One thing Wayne had always wanted to do (as an adult) was to go to Marble, Colorado

(Click on the blue to learn more)

So off we went!

Touring the old factory site, going up to the Mine Entrance

And eating at the famous BBQ spot.  It wasn’t too busy that day, we only had a 30 minute wait.

Marble!  A fun place to visit.  An interesting place to learn about.  And Good Company!

Perfect!

Word of the day: Kawaakari (n): The gleam of last light on a river’s surface at dusk; the glow of a river in the darkness.  Origins Japanese

Delightfully Wonderful and Much Needed Fun — Wednesday, September 6, 2023

Sunday was such a beautiful day…we thought “Let’s not work!”

So—-we loaded ourselves up and headed up to Marble—a two-hour trip from our house.

We headed to the most popular place in town to eat—-stood in line for a short time (about 15 minutes)

Sat down to a very tasty lunch of pulled pork and sides.

After which we drove around looking at things; making it home at 4:00 P.M., with huge smiles on our faces.

A lovely break in between the work!

Saturday in Aspen

Saturday, our grandson had a soccer game in Aspen, Colorado.  Our oldest granddaughter also had a soccer game, but hers was in Orchard City, Colorado, then to stretch everything just a tad bit more, our son-in-law had to work…he is the Assistant Principal at our local High School…he had to be at the high school because of volley ball games there all day.

SOOOOO enter the grandparents….we opted to take Blade to Aspen, we hadn’t been there in years and years and besides we wanted a day with Bladen.  He is ten now and often times we don’t have him by himself, we get the girls by their selves, but rarely Bladen.

 

On the way up we stopped at the Crystal River to show him where some hot water enters the river.

Over the years people have created a fun little dam which allows for ‘dipping’ , he was delighted.

 

What a soccer field!!! In Aspen you are on top of Rocky Mountains.

Here is a quick shot through a very dirty windshield of some of ski slopes!
