Barb is in the Rockies again

My niece, Barb has not visited Colorado for ten years, so we were happy to welcome her on Sunday. We went to visit Mom yesterday afternoon and this morning we headed up the Poudre River and Canyon, northwest of Fort Collins. The weather was perfect -- warm enough to get out of the car and not freeze -- and yet a spectacular view of the fallen snow on Cameron Pass -- 10,276'.

We were hoping to see some Moose, but we were disappointed -- it doesn't seem fair that Gary gets to see them quite often -- he even saw one just this morning -- but we didn't see a single animal. Hopefully we will be luckier when we go to Estes Park and RMN park on Wednesday.

We stopped and saw Mom on the way back home. She was looking at her photo album and showing the photos to one of the caregivers. She seemed quite content, and she had a bit of chocolate on her bib, so we knew what she had been doing - ha. She was also sporting a new haircut and very nice nail polish.
