Thursday's Golden

The intensive at Quiet Waters is drawing to a close, as is the sabbatical.
After our session this morning, we headed to Golden, CO, once again. We explored the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. We both enjoyed the beautiful quilts.
We then headed up the Lookout Mountain Road, along the Lariat Loop, to the Buffalo Bill Cody Grave and Museum. The road had Karin a bit nervous again, but the view from Lookout Mountain was terrific. This trip completed our tour of the Lariat Loop
We then headed back to Denver for a class at REI on bicycle maintenance.

Tomorrow will be our last session with our counselor, and the Colorado Rockies baseball game against the Chicago Cubs in the evening. Saturday we'll be flying back to Iowa for the last week of the sabbatical.

A Family Affair

We continue to have very good sessions with the counselor. Afterward we headed to Golden, CO, where Karin got to visit a quilt shop and we took a tour of the Coors brewery. But the real highlight was driving to Loveland, CO, where we visited our nephew, Karl. Karl lives in Fort Collins, but works in urban development for Loveland. We learned a lot about his work and had a great dinner (it was also Karl's birthday over the weekend).
