Dinner for seven!!

So Steve ad Lucy treated us like queens, on Thursday evening John came to prepare our dinner. He did the dinner all on the grill: lamb chops, asparagus and corn on the cob. It was topped off with a homemade 3 each of 6 ingredient. Every thing was delicious. John ate with us and we had lovely time what n interesting man. He is also their caretaker. And the salad is Anne Denver's favorite recipe.

A few outside shots

I actually took a walk a couple mornings. One with Dorothy and Judy R. It is so beautiful here I'm ready to move as soon ads Ron says " Let's Go!!"
In the front of the house was is neat pond, they will be adding fish when they get back. Neat pond don't you think? Above is a pic. of one of four metal art cattails with a dragon flu on one leaf and a bug on the other. There is also a wire "Lady of the Lake" she's hard to pick out.

At the top of Conundrum Rd. this is the view.

Nice scenery to take a walk in.

I was looking down on these, pretty cool.

Another picture of the creek, It was moving fast.

The back of the cabin

It was so wonder ful to be here and I didn't want to leave.

It's all about the Food and Sewing

I couldn't resist this sign, what do you think ? Kinda describes our little "Traveling Sewing Diva"
pretty well. We took a trip into Aspen on Tues. Judy Stolerow was not feeling well so she stayed
at the cabin for a little quiet nap time. The rest of us decided Ice cream
sounded like a great idea.

This guy was just hangin' out reading till he got a passenger.

And the ski slope looks very serene, what a neat view...

One last shot and we're on our way back.

So it's all about the food, We each took a meal or two brought the

food needed and served it up when our turn came along.

And we ate well, all the meals were wonderful.

I personally fixed; Sausage, biscuits and gravy for one breakfast
B.L.T.'s for lunch

And a pork Roast Dinner

We all brought food so there was plenty , I tried to have my shakes for

breakfast but there was either eggs and sausage, breakfast casserole,

fruit, and cereal fixed, so that didn't work out well.

We had sandwiches and left overs for lunches. JudyR fixed

two hams for one dinner so there were lots for sandwiches.

We also had chili Rheas, And a wonderful corn beef and

cabbage dinner.

There was one counter that just was filled with snacks.

Chips, nuts, Candy of all sorts, lots of Chocolate goodies,

and oh, yeh did I mention some desserts were prepared

ahead. We sure weren't in danger of being hungry.

There was lots of Sewing done also. we brought old unfinished projects,

as well as new projects. Judy Rockwell got two quilts bound, finished up

several old projects and even started a couple.

Karen worked on a couple older projects.

Mona finished a quilt for her son who's on a misson, along

with a couple other old projects, and blocks.

Judy Stolrow worked on a littleoutfit for her newest grandson's blessing.

Also worked on lots of civil war blocks.

Dorothy helped out everyone and worked on her Hunter Star.

Be it ever so humble ...

So about 4:30 we got into Glensprings, we stopped by the little Quilt shop, then stroled around town went to dinner at an Italian resturant and hung out till Karen and Dorothy returned with the grandkisd to meet Karen's Daughter. She lives in Denver and her kids are spending the week with their cousins. then it was 40 miles to the cabin . A quick stop at the market for last min items and we arrived about 8pm or so. So I'll take you on a brief tour.

The right side of front porch

The left side

Judy welcoming me in the Front door Karen in the kitchen notice the counters and stove fan light

are all copper.

Back to the front door . Steve and Lucy are into antiques and have been

collecting them. This door is an antique

You enter into the great room with this awsome chadaier

and the bear they purchased in Lake Placid New York.

I particularly loved the Santa in this sleigh behind one of

the Leather couches.

This is one of four fireplaces, the only wood burning one,

a law in Colorado only 1 allowed. It is two sided with the

dinning room on the other side. I'll show you that and the

family room when I show us sewing and the food we were

forced to eat.

The enterance to the master bed room sweet

you walk by a little sinning area on one side and a destk on the other.

Nice master bedroom complete with electric fire place and my favorite

a window seat.

there is a walk in closet , a potty room and then the master bath.

Totally awsome.

The mirrors are framed with antlers, and sinks and tub are marble

Totally love this tub!!!!!!!!!

The staircase is wide enough for several to walk up at the same time.

You need to have a seat after coming up the stairs.

There are four bedrooms upstairs and a little office. each has its own bath
The first room had a rathe small shower. all in rocks

And this neat dresser A large clost complete with monogramed robes

This is where Judy R. and I stayed. Neat as we left the window

whole time and could hear the creek running All night long.

This is our end of the hall. notice the sadles on the railing.

This is the middle bedroom. Has a shower bath combo.

The hall leading to Karen and Dorothy's rooms

Karen's is the only room on the other side of the hall. She has a walk in

closet and an apartment washer and dryer. Along with this

awsome bathroom with a walk in shower jacuzi tub combo

Yes she allowed me to take two long soaking baths while there.

I owe here big time!!!!!

Her own electric Fire place.

And this neat antique bed , with her Meet Me in Paris Quilt.

Sure pays to be Steve's sister.

Which brings us to Doroty's room She asked to be able to here the stream

from her room and thhis is her veiw. Pretty nice huh.

She has this awesome walk in shower, I used that a few times.

It's a steam shower so way relaxing.

This is her bed so she also made the quilt for it.

And here is Dorothy finishing her book before we go for a morning walk.

So as you can see we really had to rough it here in the woods of Colorado.

Something I'd be willing to even do again if asked. Arn't I a trouper?
