Joe and Marcia Visit

Well, we had a wonderful visit with Joe and Marcia from the Escapees Class of 2007. The night before they were predicting SNOW in the mountains. We didn't get any on the ground, but when we went to meet Joe and Marcia in Ft. Garland we sure saw snow on Mt. Blanca. See that "white stuff" on the tops of the mountain?











We joined Roger and Brenda Cyrus (who came up from Eagle's Nest in New Mexico) in a parking lot waiting for Joe and Marcia, then went to Old West Cafe to eat.


















Breakfast was great!

We all had a great time to catch up on all our travels and where we plan to go next.

Jim convinced Joe to come spend the night where we are staying at the South Fork Campground. Of course, Jim offered to grill barbeque ribs if they'd come. That did the trick! When they arrived we settled in for a nice visit with them and Rich and Terri, campground managers and fellow SKPs and friends. But that was BEFORE the storm hit!!!!





















Look at this mess! It thundered, we had lightning and then the HAIL started to fall, and fall, and fall.

Look at Jim's disgusted look




























and Joe had to make a "hail ball"
























Rich said he was going to charge us extra for the "water front property".






Jim did a great job with the ribs.




I made coleslaw and bought some wonderful Olathe sweet corn, doctored up a loaf of garlic bread and Marcia provided a tasty peanut butter pie









It was a full, happy day with great food and even better friends and conversation. Remember, you are very much loved!!!
