Other activities grandkids & friends that kept us busy

Covid year - 2020.  Sad. Sometimes lonely.  Sometimes wonderful.  Scary.

These are some people who made the year wonderful and tolerable.

We got outside more than ever and so did most people during this pandemic.  The trails were fuller than ever and we had never seen so many people at our local lake - walking, riding, picnicking, and on the water.  It was crazy so much of the time, so we avoided McIntosh Lake for several months.  

With businesses closed, activities stopped, no clubs, no movies, no restaurant dining, no music, no social events at all, we were happy outdoor places were so crowded, but sad for us that our regular outdoor places were all so crowded.  We made every effort to take less traveled routes and to get used to always bringing a mask wherever we went.

  



DGz visit to Basalt, with amazing hikes!

Social distancing for a photo after coffee after a cold Sunday run

Who knew you could drink coffee outside on freezing cold Sunday mornings? These Dirty Girlz are tough.

 
Summer 2020 visiting with Karen and Jack in Illinois

We got in a couple lovely rides to Jamestown.  Sad that the Merc has been closed.

Distanced outdoor walk in winter with Jennie, Barb, and Diane.  

Our neighbors Karen and Jim, who invited us to their Eldora house.

Our "Camper Cousins" who visited us in Colorado, Nancy and Joe.


A break from Covid. Paul and Heather visited from California after they got very stir crazy.  These small visits and glimpses of normal kept us going.


Manitou Incline.  Cross it off the 60 list!


Things that kept me going:  Travel!!!  But at home, it was sewing masks, jigsaw puzzles, baking, painting rocks (especially bug rocks), and home projects.
Thank goodness for video visits!!!  It almost feels like a real visit!
