Life Is for Loving

 Life is...

...for loving.

Hi Everyone! 

Wow have we ever been busy having fun!  We feel like spring has been a season for us--along with other new creatures--to cautiously emerge from our chrysalises.  

 

Post vaccination, and with more and more of our loved ones getting vaccinated, we've spent the last weeks being with people...gasp...in person.  

The photo, above is at Black Canyon of Gunnison, which we saw with our road tripping amiga Sue (Summer's mom) on our trip to see Zachary and Summer in Greeley, Colorado.  

They are well and happy, and it was great to see them after nine months.

If you can handle a 6-minute video, here's a link to the adventure, which included not only Black Canyon of the Gunnison but also a harrowing snowstorm crossing the Rockies (Darrell drove like a stunt champ!), the Garden of the Gods, Taos, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, and Flagstaff.  Many new sights for us.

(Speed up the playback and you can take the trip in half the time!)

Shortly after our return, we had a dinner party with Geoff, Beth, Barb and Curt...the first sixsome gathering in more than a year.

Ivy, Nova, Tiana, and Alex had a few days to spend with us.  As a result, the Great Grands got to meet HRH Ivy Alora.  Here's Gordon:

And here's LuAnn:

Gail and Melanie, who was in the States very briefly, hosted the first family gathering in...we don't know how long. 

 

It was a perfect evening, with each person adding uniquely to the puzzle that is our family.

We've also seen other friends, like Ginger and the Mayfields, and we have more fun on the books.

We love you, friends, whether we've been in your presence or not, and we hope that your spring is as full of laughter and stories as ours.

Life is for loving!
