One of our favorite places with some of our favorite people

Delta County, CO is one of our favorite places. We love visiting there and love sharing it with others. This past week we spent a wonderful week there with some longtime friends.

This was the view from the back deck, where we met most mornings and evenings to talk, laugh, covetch and enjoy good food and wine. We were often entertained by hummingbirds bickering to control access the feeders. The view changed with each day depending on the time of day and the weather

Our group included longtime friends–we all met in 1970 in New Orleans when some of us were enrolled in a Masters Degree Program in Latin American Studies at Tulane University–that was 54 years ago.

We have kept in touch and visited with each other during these years and gotten to know their partners, welcoming their children, and sharing good news and bad.

This week we made our headquarters in a lovely Airbnb home, perched on ten acres outside of Hotchkiss, CO. Highlights of our trip included a visit to the North Rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the Orchard Winery near Paonia, Pioneer Town in Cedaredge and the nearby Grand Mesa.

Martin & Lois Simpson, Ben & Lauriece Aguirre, John Cunningham, and Sue.

Lois, John and I enjoyed morning walks along Mesa Stuckey Road. The Black Canyon is always worth another visit. August is a good time for wildflower viewing.
