Nov and Dec highlights

I love being retired! Feeling lucky about that. November and December were warm in Colorado so the outdoor activities were fabulous.  Scott joined me in most of that fun stuff.  Feeling lucky about that too.
Weird how I got to see 2 of 3 granddaughters at DIA in December.

Just before my Dec flight to Illinois, I got to meet my granddaughter Jaymie at DIA when she flew in from 18 months in Paraguay!  It was a quick hello but so great to see her.

One week later.....  Just after my Dec flight back to Colorado from Illinois, I got to see my granddaughter Danyelle at DIA!  She was flying back to L.A. and we got to spend 45 minutes together!

Happy Birthday to the man in my life. We spent a couple nights in Breckenridge and skied 3 days in single digit temps to celebrate Scott's birthday.  Yay for Level 6.1.  Boo for freezing on the slopes.

Ann and I ran Segment 2 of Colorado Trail in November!  Started in snow, ended in warm sun.  

We ran sometimes - this is at McIntosh Lake by my house.

Lunch with the Spice Girlz at Northfield Mall.  Me, Diane, Jennie, Barb, Lynn.  We've been friends since 1980.

Louisville Turkey Trot on a very warm Thanksgiving Day with Larry and Linda and a couple thousand good friends.

A run at Boulder Reservoir with Barb B.

Our beautiful mountain bike ride around Chatfield Reservoir included a flat tire for me - and a cute guy to fix it.

We got the Epic Mix pass again and are skiing at Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin....We will get to Vail and Beaver Creek in 2018.  Very little snow fell so far.

Six Dirty Girlz on this Sunday!  Pat, Melinda, Steph, Nanci, Sarah, and me

We hiked!  And saw 3 moose on the Taylor Mountain trail outside of Allenspark. Very exciting.

Hiked to the Boulder Star on a warm & dusty evening with Kent & Terri, Melinda & Chris, Scott & me.

Scott learned how much he likes manual labor and the Sawzall when he helped me gut my master bathroom! 

My birthday run with DGz at Niwot.  I've achieved Level 6.1 That's a better way to look at 61 years I think. Woot Woot!

We made gingerbread houses again with Scott's grandkids and Eleanor.  A nice Christmas experience!

A gorgeous sunrise at my house

No photos but...to remember,
I got to do a Christmas Lights run again this year.  This one started in Prospect and was in south neighborhoods - with Jabe's group, including my friend Jen and a potluck afterwards.  It was a warm and beautiful run!  Such a great way to enjoy the holiday and everyone's outdoor lights.

Phyllis had her annual (Christmas) Friday morning breakfast for the guys and gals from Longs Peak.  So great to see all those people I used to teach with every year at this event.

We did the Longmont Holiday parade followed by a walk through Roosevelt Park for the amazing Christmas lights again this year with Terri & Kent, and with other friends too.  Love those hometown Christmas celebrations.
