October 10, 2015

Hi everyone.
In case you haven't seen anything new for the last couple of days, we are currently in Cheyenne visiting our son Doug and Robin.  It has been a year since we have seen them both together so we have been catching up.  Last night we went to a Bark and Wine fundraiser for the animal shelter.  There was a silent auction (no we didn't win any of the auctions) and as usual, by the auction end, everything was auctioned off higher than the price.  A pair of hand knit mittens went for $500.  When the Black Dog Rescue first opened up, one of the early donations ($1000) came from Maine.

This is Jake who is a rescued dog that resides here now.
He is a wonderful dog who likes his home. His tail in the picture is blurry because it never stops wagging.

Today we are headed to Ft Collins.  We are wearing shorts and sandals for the day with a great day expected.
On the way to Ft Collins on I-25, the Rockies to the west

Fort Collins is a college town and there were a lot of people out today enjoying the warmth of the sun.

This was a pretty flower with a  half barrel bucket serving as the flower pot.

We went in to a couple of stores to see what was new/different.

Ever thought of this as your children were growing up?

Have a building that needs painting? Why not balloons?

Grammie tamed this one real quick.

We stopped at a local winery to sample some local wine.  Blue Skies Winery  

We had a good day in the high plains. We have finally gotten used to the 6000 ft altitude.About time as we have been in the 6000+ range since September 13th.  It will feel good to get back to sea level.
