Kenosha Pass

We were tired, but Sadie is not! Snowshoeing if that is what you want to call it--there is more snow at home in Aurora than on top of Kenosha Pass (just before you go down into South Park). Very windy, not that cold. Our snowshoes helped with the slipping. We let her run at first until she chased up a coyote and then ran after it--not a good thing. So she ended up being on lease the rest of the time. One other hike last summer we tried to teach her to walk behind me and in front of Jan. To our amazement she remembered. Bob and I would like for her to put her toys away--she is close but having some trouble, but today she picked up being shot and playing dead. Problem is--she is smarter than her trainer.
Good Food--Breakfast at Sunrise cafe, I had cranberry pancakes with my eggs, bacon and sausage, Jan had an omelet with mushroom, asparagus, avocado--that kept us full for quite awhile. Then, we enjoyed a homemade sandwich and some refreshing water. Oh, and a couple of Cementine oranges.
Good People--met an older than us guy on the trail, by himself. You could tell he was an outdoorsman. He gave us some good ideas of trails for this summer near where we were.
Great Exercise-maybe 3 miles. 1:45--800+ calories.

Is it spring or winter?

This is Colorado for ya--60's one day (my favorite temperature). Daddy finch (red chest) and the mom looking for a place to build a nest. Thanks to Bob they will be house hunting somewhere else because all our outside speakers are covered.



What a difference a day makes. We really needed the moisture, about 10+ inches of it. Amanda said that Boulder got about a foot. The mountains 2+ feet. Kevin is going to like that when he travels through. For these pictures I used our old camera because it has a better zoom--note the 2005 date stamp. Lots of sledders out.

Dogs and Geese.

On my 25 mile ride to Cherry Creek Resevoir dam and back home I encountered some pedistrians on the bike trail. They were honking at me, should have been the other way around. Kinda cool on Friday, around 60 but no wind--that's good.
Kortney and Paul's dog Maddy always crosses her feet when she is down--whata dog--so funny!

Visitors!

Sister Sharon and Bob visited with us for a few days. Great conversations, good food and refreshments. We all visited our Dry Dock Brewery and brought home a growler of Doobybak--as Jan says it tasted like beer-ya, pour me another beer! Bob worked on teaching our dog visitors some new tricks. Amanda went to Georgia (Jacksonville, Fl, Savannah, Brunswich) to visit her boyfriend Ben (Customs and Border Protection Academy training until May) on Thursday and left Hallie. For spring break Kortney/Paul flew to Boise/Sun Valley to ski, snow shoe, soak in the river's thermo pools and catch up with Kevin. Maddie stayed with us. The dogs know who the boss is--the old matriarch--Hallie. Now that she went home--Maddie tries to get Sadie to play, we learned that they walk better side by side rather than mom walk one and me the other.

Who needs Phoenix!

It is 70 something, very little wind--Good work, God!

I rode down to near Centennial airport to have lunch with a friend at Quzino's. Good sandwich, ham and swiss cheese, toasted, lots of pickles--why don't I eat here more often. Oh, and I had a cherry cheesecake muffin, too--I burned 1500 calories.

Great ride--25 miles round trip, through Cherry Creek reservoir.

It's time for the summer do!

Here is the story--my hair (what I have left) stylist moved to Idaho. I hate paying for a haircut, it takes too much time so this is my new style. Jan thinks I look like a convict.
