Fall Fell Fallen

FALL!

FALL!

FALL!

I am soooo ready for fall! I already have pumpkin scented votives purchased and am longing for weather that is boot friendly! This summer has been one of the hottest I can remember in Denver, with more days than not lately in the 90s and a big tease of a sky that looks like it will rain but never does.

MUSIC NEWS
There is an ep written. Put a scratch vocal down tonight. Randy is strumming away in the other room. I hope we can make it available in January. So far, on the list of songs up for possible inclusion there are four songs that start with the letter L, and two that include the word "bound" in the title.

NOT SO FAST...

THE SUMMER IN REVIEW:

Here are some things that happened this summer, in random order:

On 7/20, we celebrated our 20th anniversary. We got a whole 36 hours to do so, so we drove to Glenwood Springs for an overnight, but first...

PICTURES

Our friend Kristol Kumar took some fun pictures taken for our 20th anniversary. I think we still look in love...because we are.

Since these pics were taken, I have cut all my hair off and signed up for boot camp. Thanks Groupon. I am probably going to die, and there won't be a ponytail to provide relief, but I'm going to die trying because with 42 looming (I hate the even numbers!) my thighs are betraying me.

On our anniversary getaway, I was pretty excited about the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park Alpine Coaster. So worth it! I wish I had done it ten times!

On the way home, I took a picture of the scenery but the windshield caught the reflection of my feet. It made me think of that worship song...

Finally, the rocks are gone! The gravel in our front yard has been removed and Randy being the nurturer that he is has gone Hank Hill all over our little patch of land. It's green and beautiful and passes the bare feet test!

Red Rocks has been a frequent hangout for me between tours and volunteering for Love Hope Strength and corporate events. The only show I actually bought tickets to was Peter Gabriel, but I wound up there for several rainy evenings anyhow. Here's a brightly colored crowd in their rain gear waiting for the storm to pass.

and a shot of the first-ever dinner seating for thousands IN the amphitheater itself. So bright it could be seen from the highway.

The pianos returned to the 16th Street Mall!

Kathy finished her ep "Little Seasons" and we had the release party at Solid Grounds. CDs arrived last minute as they always do, and this UPS guy had no clue what to think when he was greeting with cheers and a camera by three women--one with a mandolin and one with an accordion!

It was tons of fun and Kris flew in for it, which meant we had to rent an accordion from Alice who teaches accordion and you can bet her students have a good time.

Another of my events jobs had me petting an 800 lb. pig named Lola.

My brother Matt & his family came to visit and we had a good time catching up with Matt, Kate, & Asha. Uncle Randy and Asha acting all mature at a happy hour...the owner gave Asha some dough to play with.

Asha in the dustpan downtown. We went to the art museum but it was closed, so we played checkers at the Children's Library and went to the top floor of the Hyatt Regency where we met some German tourists and took the stairs down.

In other work-related news, the big construction box was finally removed from the airport! No more fountain, no more construction mess. No more people rolling their eyes at me when I have to push past them because they have blocked the only narrow entrance to the TOE. I'll miss my righteous indignation a bit.

I had my first lobster at Ocean Prime when a group was under their guarantee. Not bad. Better than crab. (The steak was better though).
