October Trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado

I'm interrupting my series on gourd basket weaving to share my trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'd like to say it was a carefree vacation from responsibilities here in Arkansas, but it wasn't a mere pleasure trip. I took my mother there to visit her sister, who's health is failing. Though it was an emotionally difficult trip, I was able to balance the sadness with some wonderfully uplifting experiences. One of which was a trip to Golden , my mother's birthplace and hometown.

While in Golden, I had lunch with my art business coach, Alyson Standfield. Alyson and I had worked together over the phone and internet for several months; this was our first face to face meeting--it was a real pleasure to finally be in the same room together--sharing a meal. And what a room . . . our lunch was in the beautiful TABLE MOUNTAIN INN.

Here are Alyson and I (l) outside the restaurant. I just had to superimpose another picture of myself over the original--it had to be the worst photograph of me ever--ever--really, ever . . .

Thought I'd stop in and see what you were up to. I never saw this. It was so fun to meet you!
