I have been very lucky indeed to have the love of a brother and sister throughout my life. We continue to be great friends now and choose to spend time together on holidays and vacations.

This was indeed a very happy day! Alex's dreds were, well... dred-ful to this mom. But as most mother's do we love them for who they are not what they do.

While we are lucky enough to travel to high country frequently, this was a special trip as my mom was able to go with us. We stayed at our friend's, John and Jan Frick, cabin and ventured out to see Julia in Denver and Alex in Silverthorne as well as attending a family wedding in Boulder.

Courtney found this silly golf hat as the cousins were doing a mid-night drive around the golf course at Maizie's. When they came back the music was playing, the atmosphere silly and Gary and Courtney danced "As if no one was watching"! (We all did watch and laughed until we cried.)
