Summer in Boulder 2014

This was the summer our daughter battled breast cancer.
Obviously not a travel-post-card summer...

Summer in Boulder 2013

We arrived back in town—as planned—for the 65th International Conference on World Affairs held for one week on the University of Colorado’s campus. We also arrived in time for two weeks of that four-letter word:  s-n-o-w!

Summer in Boulder 2012

After eight months on the road we arrive back in Boulder.  Our first few days here were warm and sunny.  I kissed the “dishwasher” (Tom said he'd take over now that he has a robot to help him); hugged my vacuum cleaner; smiled at our walk-in closet; said "I love you" to the hot tub; baked some bread;  enjoyed having (almost too much) counter space; and felt extremely happy and pleased that friends haven’t forgotten us.  

And then it snowed! (April)

And then there were wildfires! (June)

Summer in Boulder 2011

We arrived in time to watch Springtime come to the Rockies - and a bit of snow. A highlight of the summer was when a bearded senior citizen with whom we attended grade school and high school came to stay with us for several weeks. We hadn’t seen each other for over fifty years!  Our guest just happened to be a graffiti artist both famous and infamous who has lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the past thirty-some years.  Our friend honored us with a graffiti demonstration.
