Our First Visitors in 2009

My cousin Tom, his wife Judy and their two children were scheduled to be out here in January from Cleveland but a broken collarbone and a kidney stone kept them in Ohio so unfortunately they didn't make it but are planning on giving it a go for the 2009-2010 holiday season. Luckily though, Kelly and her friend Melissa were able to make it out here for a repeat visit. They almost got stuck in Minneapolis due to flight delays but they were able to reschedule their routing the night before so they got here on Saturday as planned.

In case you haven't been following the Colorado weather this year, the sad truth is the weather has been spectacularly beautiful which isn't a problem unless you want lots of snow to ski into April (and will lead to a reduced snowpack which leads to less water in the mountains for the communities come summer). There was enough snow for their visit though and Kelly and Melissa took advantage of the warm spring like days to improve their skiing and tans again.

Dinners are always special with company and we had some great international meals (Greek, Thai, Indian and Italian plus a night out in Telluride and a big beef roast - per Kelly's request). Unfortunately their time here flew by but we are getting ready for a visit from Paige, Scott, Will and Reed in Telluride and then a long weekend with Gloria....keep you posted!
