Wind And Waves

Two guys……watching TV!

OR

A big guy and a little guy watching….Thomas the Train!

Its quite interesting to think about what it was like 100 years ago in our neighborhood.  We live in a “colorful” neighborhood, to say the least.  Our house was built in 1896 by a fellow who owned a major cigar company in Denver.  We came across some old pictures in the Denver Public Library the other day. See above

Leaving the warmth and kindness of Eli’s family was kind of sad….mixed with excitement to get back to our lives.  On the long road trip home, we watched this beautiful sunset somewhere in Wyoming, a state that intrigues me with its plains, its rolling hills, its wind, its grand mountains, its desolation and its Indian Reservations.

I really like Montana.  The mountains and valleys with wide rivers flowing through them, feel wonderful to be in.

Here is Eli’s family, except for his sister, who we visited the next day. Each of us is wearing our new hats :-).  It was one of the warmest coziest Christmas’s I have ever had.  Lots of yummy food, delicious Christmas cookies and Eli’s mom decorated the house so Christmassy. It was really great getting to know all of them and welcomed to be a part of their Christmas!

Here’s a picture Charlie, Eli’s brother, took  of us, up at Hyalite, near Bozeman.

And here’s Charlie!

(Finally I’m updating on what I’ve been up too!)

Eli and were super excited to get a tree for our new place especially because we have the perfect little nook for it.

There was a restaurant about 20 minutes from the Tree cutting place.  We weren’t the only ones to stop!

Notice, how there is NO snow.  This winter it has hardly snowed!

Here it is, decorated and in its little nook!  Makes our place cozy and inviting, more than it already is.

I rode down to Colorado Springs and then cut over to 285 via Hwy 24.  Dreamy! As the sun set, I watched the landscape open out in front of me.  No cars on the road. Fast. Smooth. The road was like a ribbon, turning,moving up,moving down and evaporating.  The sky, open and dreamy.  Endless opportunity and possibility. The river, babbling, peaceful and mysterious.  Exhilarating!  I’m sad you put my moto away for the winter.  I look forward to Spring.

In our new home! The first 24 hours 🙂
