returns...

Got back from CA and re-entry was not easy (especially with a cold) BUT got back to work and it was good. Had the AVH season party at the Roaring Fork Club which was beautiful and there was a good turnout. That was fun. Then yesterday found an AWESOME hike that is new in an area I hiked before so was THRILLED with that. It was challenging, beautiful, a loop etc etc. really nice. Then I visited a friend who just had surgery and brought her things to distract her during recovery. Woke up this am to snow. Tis full on winter now... see the picture out of my bedroom window? Did some shoveling and baking this am, have a provider meeting at my house today and then Brad should get back from CA. On the not so good side my friend I am trying to recruit decided not to come and that is a bummer but at least his work made his situation significantly better for him. His dog (who I have known for 11 years) died so he is sad... I can't imagine how it will be when Clifford goes. In fact my friend I visited after her surgery has a dog just diagnosed with terminal cancer (I have known him for many years also) so we are all getting older. Tis a bummer sometimes. BUT on a good note life is awesome and I am lucky to have known these people and animals and this is all a part of the circle of life.
Hope you are all well and happy... Happy Holidays :)
