So got back from Strawberry in time for Patti to show up for a visit. I haven't seen her in over 8 years and that is WAY too long to miss your best friend. She came Fri night with a friend and her friend's new psychotic dog. It was nice and since her friend left early Sat Patti and I got the rest of the weekend to ourselves (Brad was out of town). We hiked and saw a baby fawn (no picture) and hawks etc. It was fabulous. Sunday we went rafting down class 4 waters (a first for Patti and with a GREAT guide we had a phenominal time. We saw a blue heron on the river and generally got wet and had lots of laughs. Then I got back to work and re-entry wasn't as bad as expected. However, I was very tired since I was working all day and trying to spend as much time with Patti as I could at night. I brought her to Eagle airport on Wed and on the way back saw big horn sheep and later on a hike a mom and baby foxes. Yesterday Brad and I went to the Palisades music festival in Mercy and saw Junior Brown who was FANTASTIC! We stayed in Mercy on the river which was great and then got home today. Clifford and I went hiking and saw this baby bear on the way up the hill. Patti had just emailed me a story about Zoe remembering me since I had told her to say her scratch was from a bear years ago and her friends thought that was cool. Patti says the animals talk to us and are omens so I decided this bear was telling me hi from her and GET THE FOOD OUT OF MERCY or her relatives would eat it :). Fun in beautiful, FINALLY SUNNY AND WARM Aspen...
