Summer '13

Mama flew out to stay a long weekend at Devil's Thumb, a spa resort near Winter Park.  I love her.  We ate prawns, swam in a heated outdoor pool (ground covered with snow), sank into massage, roasted in a sauna, watched '9 to 5' (yeah, the Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton flick)... escaped a bit together.

 Took her to my favorite place to get lard tacos on Santa Fe (across the street from my art studio).

And of course we created a little.  We painted glaze on to ceramic plates- perfect souvenirs. 

 Ryan's brewery opened in June on Main St., Louisville, CO.  It's a success!  They are busier and busier- people love Ryan's beer.  And not at all effected by the floods.

 Lisa and her husband, Will, stopped for a day along their great western road trip on route to Estes Park.  

 A friend from Greensboro, NC, LIsa and I worked at a bakery (my first job in NC) and never looked back.  She's still baking the best damn cakes in G'boro.  And Will is the friendliest mountain man you'd ever hope a friend would marry.  Thanks for the road trip tips!!

Here we are near Wilmington, NC, 2005?  Can't tell you how good it was to see you, Lisa!  OX
