Instead of big hikes, we ended up taking Penny to the park not far from our moms’ houses to walk and chase tennis balls. My mom went with me several times and Tobey when he was feeling up to it. It was fun to watch the Canadian geese – some days almost 200 of them – as they came in for a landing on one of the lakes! It really was amazing.
We got to see a few movies: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Saving Mr.. Banks, and Last Vegas. I liked them all! Another day my sister and I did our “shop ‘til you drop” day. We were pretty successful in both regards!
Several evenings we played cards with our moms and Tobey’s sister, Patty. We have fun playing “Golf” and “3-13”. One night I had an incredible hand in Golf – a Minus 26 in one hand, then ended up not winning the game! Another day!!
A few times we played Pinochle with our moms at their clubhouse. Tobey ended up being the big winner one night and coming home with $7.00!
I also got to take a short hike with Fort Collins friend, Susan, who was here visiting her folks. We did part of the Squaw Peak base hike – easier than the Summit hike and not as crowded. Of course, we went on a Monday – after the kids had gone back to school from winter break!
I also got to have breakfast with a high school friend, Rita. We try to get together when we come down every December to catch up. Good company & good food!
It was soon time to pack most things up and get ready for our month in Mexico.
Hugs to our moms who are taking care of Penny while we are gone. She will keep them on their toes and be helpful when it comes to washing the dishes!
