How Time Does Fly.

Grannie, Alyssum and Aspen

Grannie and Aspen

We had a lovely Thanksgiving party here on the day after Thanksgiving  Day.Dana and Alyssum flew in on Thanksgiving day so we held off a day for the celebration.  The family showed up at 1 PM and we ate at 2 PM. There were 15 of us: Dana and Alyssum (Robin's daughter and husband) and their baby, Aspen Ann; Connie, Greg, Meara and Alan; Carl, Martha and Gabby; Viky and Ed; Keegan; Vernon and Robert and me.We managed, by using both tables that are in the kitchen to seat all of us.  The food was served buffet style.


After we all stuffed ourselves most everyone went for a walk while Connie and I cleaned up.  Meara, who is still suffering from some un-named malady kept us company.

Dana had to leave to get back to work, but he an Alyssum toured around the area quite a bit and discovered the Gold Hill Store.  They are dreaming of buying it, but it does seem like an un-likely fantasy.  Raising the money is the problem.  The owner is willing to carry the mortgage, but...I don't even dare think about it.  It would be soooooooooooo wonderful to have them move to Boulder County.
