I miss you!
This has been a very busy summer, and I have been running back and forth all over here. I am sorry for all the posts I have missed, and also sorry for all of the posts I am going to miss in the next few weeks. I miss my Xanga friends.
Here is a quick update:
I visited the Royal Gorge with my father in law who was in town while my husband was not. Not knowing him well, I showed him all around CO because I didn't want him to be bored. I may have went too far, because he was exhausted when he left.
The following day, we hiked up to Boulder Falls. (If you can call it hiked, it was not very far from the road.)
Then we went to Nederland and I had fun telling him about the famous frozen dead guy and the coffin races. He didn't believe me, so we went to the coffee shop to verify my story.
Then I went back to WY. I spent time with my grandparents and visited the haunted old cemetery where my relatives are buried. I used to play there as a kid, it wasn't as spooky as an adult. Someday I will dedicate an entire post to that.
A miniature sculpture of the Devil's Tower made of stone by a grave, amazing work.
I next visited my childhood home, but didn't take pictures because a new family lives there and that would be creepy. Here is the road outside of our house though.
I returned to Boulder, picked up Corey from the airport, and now we are going back to camp and hike in the Bear Lodge until a week from Tuesday. It was a good alternative to backpacking the CO trail, no fires up there.
The time I was traveling, one daughter took a road trip to Portland and the other moved to Montana. My husband traveled from PA to AL to TN. It seems we were all scattered this summer.
I do miss Xanga, and it feels like I have been gone forever. What makes it worse is that I am not done running and know I will miss much more. At least I will have a lot to talk about when I get back!
I hope you are all loving your summer and will remember me when I finally return!

Pretty pictures! Real life is a good excuse to not be online. :) Curious about the cemetery I love stories like that!
@EmilyandAtticus - When I get back I will write a whole post about it!
pretty, have fun! =D
@ShimmerBodyCream - Thank you! I have been
Have fun, hun.
I saw the title on my home page, and naturally I clicked to come read your post dedicated to me...
Imagine my chagrin...

@BoulderChristina - Yay thanks! Have fun!
@my0615 - Thank you, I hope so!
@IntoTheWind1 - Well of course it was dedicated to you, DUH!
I love your photos of CO. Makes me wanna come over and visit. We don't have any canyons here.
@Relic47 - Come on down, I will run you around! Of course, you should wait until the fires are out first.
No, no... don't try to fix it now. It's too late, the damage has been done. I'm weeping fitfully in my pillow as we speak.
Ok, that may have had something to do with just now stubbing my toe, but let's not get bogged down in details.
@IntoTheWind1 - Will a beer make up for my blunder? I have an extra.
I'm on my way... and feeling better already.
@Kris0logy - They make up for my lack of wordiness lately!
Glad you're well and having a great summer -- will be happy when you're back to stay!
@slmret - Thank you, and me too!
@BoulderChristina - Thanks, but I would need to come on UP!
Should I bring marshmallows?
@Relic47 - Oh right! Marshmallows would go well with the fires up here! It still smells like a campfire many days!
Boulder falls looks really pretty. Might you tell me how to get there? I could probably just look it up, but I'd prefer your input. If you've never been to Horsetooth falls here in Fort Collins, I recommend it. I don't know which one is prettier...but hey...a waterfall is a waterfall! :)
@Relic47 - You should DEFINITELY visit CO. Because we are awesome. Other than that whole...state on fire thing. You know.
@wildchildofthebluemoon - I love Horsetooth Falls, too! To get to Boulder Falls just drive west up the canyon towards Nederland. It is a little over halfway up and well marked, you can't miss it! I assume you are local, right?
@wildchildofthebluemoon -Now I remember, my bad! It is nice here, isn't it? I have met so many CO people on Xanga, we should form a tribe!
It sounds like you're having a good time!! So yay!! :D
