Marco Island Florida 2014

We rented a two-bedroom condo in a high-rise building on Marco Island’s beach front.  Brett’s family visited, and  Donna and TR came to stay as well.  

We all spent a lot of our time walking the beach, collecting shells and making memories.  I hope to do something with the many wonderful photos I took.  Perhaps a movie for which I already have a title:  “Beauty and the Beach.”  The movie project, if it is to be, will have to wait until after our Holiday Cruise with the kids and our 114-day Around-the-World Cruise!

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)
