off we go to Colorado

Let's dial way back.  WAAAAAY back.  I mean, two weeks ago.  More than that.  Wow.

Enough of that.  If I keep commenting on my lag in blogging, we'll never get anywhere.

My birthday was late last month.  54 - ugh.  I guess it's fine, but it's also very late middle aged.  Meh.  A couple of days before my birthday, Conrad and I boarded a plane in Burbank

and flew east to Denver.  Courtney picked us up, and we started a great weekend with her and Robert.  We had balloons,

cake,

presents,

and more!  And then we finally sat outside despite the heat of the Great Plains even that late in the evening. 

A good weekend was in store, and we were at the cusp of it!
