Yesterday, Friday, 13 April, is a special day - it's my mother's birthday. Pink would've been 99 this year. I can't believe it's been so long since she died in 1983.
It was colder and not quite as nice Friday. Virginia went on a horseback ride with a couple from here at Kelly Place. The rest of us sat around and read and played bridge. Later, the hikers went to the archeological sites here close around Kelly Place - really fascinating to have these places so close, and to actually touch without rangers, etc. In the afternoon, the hikers went to Hovenweek National Park, and had a great time there. We went into town for dinner - nothing special.
The plan for today, weather permitting, was to go to Mesa Verde. After some morning ground fog and lots of frost, the day was magnificent. The high was about 60, no wind, and gloriously clear, cloudless, bluebird skies. Mesa Verde is great at any time, but the weather made this extra special. The hikers took the tours of Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree House, and all of us went to lots of overlooks and surface sites. Some of the other places had not reopened from the winter closure, but there was plenty to do even so.
Al, Ann, and Gin stopped at Notah Dineh to shop and look at their wonderful pottery, rugs, and jewelry. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, they get. For supper tonight, we get to be treated with Gin's famous meatloaf. Then we'll sit around to decide what to consider doing tomorrow. Probably also some dominoes and bridge.
