New hike

Today Jim and I went for another hike with Norman. Went to Pleasant Valley and hiked up past the waterfall to the bridge. 4 miles up and then 4 miles back down. This hike was rockier than yesterday's. We finished in just under 4 hours. 2 miles per hour. Of course that is letting Norman led us to all of his favorite watering holes! The sights were fantastic. Still trying to post amazing pictures.

Housesitting

I haven't blogged in over a year. I was going to delete everything and start new but what the hell - I'll just continue on. Jim and I are housesitting and dog sitting our son-in-law's folks house while they are on vacation. Of course it's a great vacation for us too. We get to see Toni and our favorite granddaughter Jammy. She's getting so big! She talks and says the funniest things. Jaime our youngest came out with us. Took two days to drive out from WI. Stayed at Toni and Justin's the first night. Went into Boulder to the farmers market and got some delicious fruits and veges.

Went up to Lyons to David and Chris's place. A great place up in the mountains and the river running through the back. Music to our city ears. They took us around to show us some of the places to hike and to get to know Norman their dog. Breakfast the next day at a local place and off to another hike. They took off -going to Nova Scotia and PE island.

Toni and family came up and Justin made his wonderful sushi. Didn't. Get finished eating until after 8 so all stayed over.

Went up to Ceran and had a great hike. Not sure how far we hiked but it was a good two hours. Norman and Lulu must have hiked twice as much as us since the kept going up ahead and then back again. Grilled burgers and most everyone took a nap. Jaime went back with Toni to go to yoga and Denver tomorrow.

Jim and I went for a short bike ride to the corner store. All uphill there but coasted on the way home. Hope David and Chris aren't too tired after their long flight.
