Colorado 2018 - IHOP

Monday, August 6, 2018

Dale and I had breakfast at IHOP with Irv, Brenda, and Ericka. Always hard to say goodbye.



Colorado 2018 - The Big Get Together

Sunday, August 5, 2018

Birthday celebration for Brenda and me. She’s not in the picture as she was the photographer. 

Left to right: yours truly, Irv, Katie, Ericka, Kelly, and Dale 
(the wet spot under his chair doesn’t stand out very well in the picture). 

Kelly is actually in a very good mood although it’s not very apparent in this photograph. Ericka refers to this look as resting mustache face.

No mustache face here!

Colorado 2018 - River Walk

Sunday, July 5, 2018

After Del Taco we took another walk down by the river. This time we went out to the island with the frisbee golf course. Not many people were player but the ones who were sure looked like they were have a great time.


Of course we ran into my favorite mask sculpture again.


Colorado 2018 - Grand Junction Del Taco

Sunday, August 5, 2018

Dale and I had lunch today at Del Taco which is a place I’ve wanted to try for a while as it’s one of Franki’s (Lily Tomlin’s character) favorite places to eat on the television show Grace and Frankie. Not bad.



I had the fish tacos with french fries. Dale had the chicken bowl.

Colorado 2018 - Happy Hour and Grilling

Saturday, August 4, 2018



Irv was out of town when we arrived in Grand Junction. He returned today which meant we could enjoy happy hour with him. I alway love happy hour at Brenda and Irv's house. 

It's alway fun to watch the Grand Junction local news cast with Irv. He always provides such great running commentary.


After happy hour Dale and Irv cooked up some bone-in chicken thighs for dinner. Delicious.


These two.

Colorado 2018 - Goin' Hawaiian

Saturday, August 4, 2018
Dale and I stopped by the downtown City Market to pick up a few things for dinner.  This photo op to promote Hawaiian food was just inside the front doors. I simply had to have a picture. Dale smiled and rolled his eyes when I asked him to do the honors. What a good sport.

Made it to Salt Lake City. Drove the rest of the way to Grand Junction. Brenda’s an angel cuz she made us some dinner. Harvey Ann wasn’t about to let me have seconds when he didn’t get ANY. Bad kitty Harvey Ann for knocking my plate off the counter! You’re lucky you’re so cute cuz I just can’t help but forgive you.

Trip to Colorado 2011 - Friday July 29


Friday 7-29-11

Irv took us all to breakfast at Village Inn this morning. Dale and I left Grand Junction at about 12:30 p.m. We'll drive to John & Dianne's in Denver and Brenda and Irv will join us there tonight.

Made it to the Continental Divide at about 4:45 p.m. Saw Mount Quandry which is a mountain Dale and I hiked up way back in 1993.

Got to John and Dianne's in Arvada around 7 p.m. Brenda and Irv got there about a half hour before us. John made chicken on the grill for dinner. Gotta love grilled chicken especially when it's perfectly done. I drank martinis tonight and had one in the hot tub with John. Dale joined us in the tub for a little bit.
