We had just returned from our June trip to Lake Powell when Larry learned that he would be sent to a class in Breckenridge, Colorado, in August. We flew into Denver and drove to Harrison for a very short four-day weekend visit. Wayne and Sophi were visiting from Portland, Linda and Todd from Lincoln, and Karyl and Dawson from Omaha. It was Fair Weekend in Harrison. Wayne brought along a bottle of Oregon champagne so we enjoyed a styrofoam cup of bubbly while enjoying an August late afternoon in Harrison. Friends Brad Munson and John and Terry Herren stopped by for a visit too - not sure how a picture didn't happen!?
And, Fair Weekend in Harrison can only mean the annual Fair Parade!
We were able to gather all of us who had traveled from far (except Todd!) for a photo.
(l-r) Lola (Wayne and Sophi's dog), Wayne, Dorothy, Karyl, Dawson (love the glasses!), Sophia, me, Linda and Larry.
Dorothy and great-grandaughter Dawson and grandaughter Sophi!
The time in Harrison went quickly and we headed back to Colorado but couldn't resist stopping for a photo of Larry out standing in a field ... of sunflowers.
We arrived back in Denver and met up with my favorite step-father in the world Marvin and his wife Jennie. After a nice visit, Larry and I made our way towards Breckenridge. Below is the view from our patio. I was able to take the gondola down to Breckenridge daily to occupy myself while Larry was in class. And rain! I so loved the smell and the clean, clean air.
We spent five days in Breckenridge. I went walking on the ski hills by the lodge we stayed in, enjoyed the view, the rain, taking the gondola to Breckenridge, visiting the coffee shops there and may have stepped inside a store or two as well. Larry's class ended and we ventured back to Denver to see Jackie. We ended this visit to the U.S. by the three of us going to a Rockies game that night.
Although we had just been back in the U.S., we sure enjoyed another trip back. We were sorry that time didn't allow a quick trip to Arizona to see family and friends there. I did travel to Chadron to meet Virginia for lunch one day while in we were in Harrison and can't believe I didn't get a picture!
I'll end this post with a photo of a pretty petunias blooming on Jackie's porch which attracted a butterfly.
