Wow, two months, really? What is my problem! I'm sorry it's been so long folks! So many things have been going on around here, it's hard to believe how fast the time has flown.
The Fall is not as wonderful as I thought it would be, although it has been fun all around. It's different to be setting up two tables for dinner instead of 25! Falls in Colorado are just breathtaking...and not just because it's cold enough to snow in October! When the aspens change color, it's like God sprinkled gold dust on the mountainsides.
Our first snow was interesting! I woke up and was about to walk out my front door in my slippers to go to work, when my friend Sable said, "Hey I think it snowed!" (it was still dark out so it was hard to see) I didn't believe her, and ended up walking to the dining room in my slippers in almost a foot of snow! We stopped in the middle of cleaning up from lunch to win a quick snowball fight with the kitchen guys.
The snow melted and the leaves fell, and now in the land is battening down the hatches against what could be a long cold winter. The ranch is enjoying a nice lull this week. We have 10 guests until Friday when we'll get in about 70 new guests for the weekend. Then the weekend after that, we're having the Staff Girl Reunion, when 40 previous staff girls are coming in for the weekend. It's going to be GREAT! Stasi Eldredge, John Eldredges wife is going to be our speaker (John wrote Wild at Heart, The Journey of Desire, The Sacred Romance, etc.) for the weekend, and I'm SO EXCITED! Then the next weekend is Thanksgiving, and we are going ALL out. We'll have 160 guests here for Thanksgiving...talk about a crowd! I can't wait. Tables and tables of food and friends and family to enjoy it with. It's going to be awesome.
Well, that's about all that's new here. Here's some pictures of a hike I took with my two closest ranch friends, Haley and Jenny. Hope all is well with you!
And here's a quick look at the Aspens in the fall!
