And, went for a walk to see their neighborhood.
This view of downtown Denver was taken between two houses just a street east of their house.
Was very interesting and was got a lot of history of Colorado and the capital. Was about noon when we finished and we walked downtown. Was going to eat at the Brown Palace Hotel (like we did in February of 1965) but after looking at prices on a sample menu we walked on to a food court. Looked around a bit and rode the full loop of the downtown free transit bus, watching people and seeing the sites. Got to Kara and Jason Cooper's just about 5:30 pm when they were getting home from work. Enjoyed visit and the BBQ Brats and sweet corn they had for supper on their deck.
We drove to Colorado Springs on Tuesday morning and went directly to the Garden of the Gods. Those photos aren't on Picasa yet. We met Jerry Koch and son Darren and had lunch together at a buffet. Jerry's wife Rosemarie was my 1st cousin and passed away some 4 years ago. After eating, we headed east, staying in Colby, KS. Got a motel and then decided to drive by address of Pat & Lois Sumner's place to see where they live. We had contacted them about maybe staying with them, but they were to be in Ohio visiting their daughter with the 5th wheel. Discovered them sitting on their deck--they had come home just a bit early and arrived only the evening before. They insisted on eating supper with them and we visited and toured their house and his huge garage and work-shop. On Wednesday we drove to Clarinda.
Went to visitation of Bill Gilmore, friend and neighbor (of 3 blocks away) at the school gymnasium --he had been coach for many years and had many, many friends. Was only 66, dying of a sudden heart attack.
Will get photos of last couple days posted to Picasa (where I can pick them up off the desktop pc that I usually use, or the laptop now on my lap in the recliner).
Later, Lynn
