Autumn in Colorado

     The colors did not disappoint us.  It was truly a blessing to listen to my ladies oohing and ahhing at the most beautiful array of colors.  The only one who oohed and ahhhed more was the driver.  The 2 1/2 hour drive became closer to 3 1/2 because the driver(me) had to stop and take more pictures.  We would come around a corner or over a hill and voila -splashes of color - meadows of yellow and green and then just for Aunt Bernice there would be the reds too.  She asked if there was anyway we could get her some leaves.  I take care of my ladies and just outside of Fairplay we found our red leaves.  Hopefully this video will give you a glimpse of the beauty.

We ended our trip with our third trip to the Golden Arches.  We never seen to tire of the creamy ice cream cones and the fact they are a meager $.59 addsto the fun.

You know I always marvel at our trips.  Our original plan was to stay in Alamosa.  For some reason the hotels with rooms that would accomodate 6 people were already full.  Thursday as we arrived in Salida at 7:00 we were glad that was our stopping point.  Friday after driving down to San Luis, I have to say we were very thankful we weren't staying in Alamosa.  It would have been a long trip on Thursday and another long day Saturday.  We have learned to listen to that "still small voice" and believe we are being directed by a GOD who loves us and every trip proves it's true. 

September is our third anniversay for "Widows Gone Wild".  Never in all my wildest dreams would I have imagined the what was in store for us when it became time to leave my fulltime job to help care for Moma.  Ignoring the nudging would have meant I would have missed the dance and as the song goes "I wouldn't have missed it for the world."  

When the opportunity arises make sure you don't miss the dance..............................
