Colorado Trip

Cousin Peg, Aunt Virginia, Cousin Ellen, Me, Sister Suzanne

We had a great time visiting my Aunt Virgina over the Labor Day holiday. She seemed to really like the quilt I made her and we had fun posing for the picture.

I always forgot how wonderful it is in Colorado. I love watching the mountains. We tried for a picnic at Echo Lake, but got rained on. However, we did enjoy the beauty of another area.

We made the short trip to Golden and toured the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. The museum had moved a month before and are still raising funds to expand their exhibit area, but we really enjoyed the dozens of quilts they had on display. Fabulous quilts. We also went to 2 quilt stores while we were there and, of course, I bought fabric and a kit (thanks to my very "evil" sister and aunt! hehehe)

But the main thing was enjoying the company of my wonderful Aunt Virginia. Seeing Ellen again after many, many years was great. And, finally meeting Mary Kay and spending time with her and Peg was delightful

Check out Ellen's website. She is a first class mandolin and guitar player. Peg has a second career now as a writer of personal history.

And, the mountains. Ahhh, the mountains . . .
