Well, here we go again. Except that now we are finishing up here at Amazon. Next week is our last week and then we are off to Golden to spend Christmas with the kids. In spite of the long hours and the physical work it has been pretty uneventful. Can't wait to be done with this job and go home!We have a lot of sympathy for the people that live here and are thankful to have this job...or any job. It is so sad to see where our country has come to.
We've met some great new friends and had a chance to visit some old ones. We took a long weekend to go to and see friends from Denver that now live in Eufaula Lake in Oklahoma, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eufaula_Lake) only about 1 1/2 hours drive, south through Tulsa and Muskogee It was a great weekend....lots of catching up and some siteseeing of the fall colors. We took a drive on the Talimena Scenic Byway. (www.talimenascenicdrive.com) This road goes from SE Oklahoma into NW Arkansas and crosses the Ouachita Mountains, one of the highest mountain ranges between the Appalachians and the Rockies. Imagine a road sign at the start of the drive stating that the road ahead consists of 14% grades! The fall leaves were beautiful and we found this little piece of history in the form of an old pioneer cemetary. Our friends house on Eufaula Lake has some great views, too. Here is the link to pictures (Talimena and Eufaula Lake)
In January we are going to work for 6 weeks in Estes Park, close to Rocky Mountain National Park. We are managing a small resort, River Spruce (http://www.riverspruce.com/) while the owners go on vacation. We are really excited. Anyone wanting a wonderful winter getaway should come and see us! Homemade muffins every morning and hot tubs for the star gazing at night. Then on to Mexico the end of February.
