We are back from a quick visit to CO Springs to see Mom and Dad. Dad is not doing well and it's quite difficult at this point. All I can say is thank God for hospice. They are a wonderful organization that strives to provide quality of life at the end of life.
We stopped at Rudy's barbecue on the way into CO Springs to pick up brisket to bring to Mom and Dad's. Yummy stuff and we know of them from Texas. Texas barbecue is the best!
Dusting of snow happened while we were away, and as usual, while weather was calm everywhere else, the big boy Monarch Pass was 27 degrees, snowy, icy slush on the road at the top and snow plows working. Wow, precursor of things to come...
Last of the fall leaves and snow on the peaks at the same time. Oct. is marching on.
The most amazing thing happened on my walk this morning. A herd of at least 30 elk ran across the road in front of me. Of course I had the camera at the ready - I stood still and snapped pictures as the bulls, cows, and half grown babies thundered by. I think they'd been spooked elsewhere by hunters. It is that time of year.
As quickly as we got back home, Mark has left again, this time to St. Louis. A new job awaits! Apparently, he's not ready to leave the workforce just yet. He'll be working from home part of the time, with travel to a number of cities. Let the games begin again...
