the visit
So Joelene posted some photos from her trip out to visit me!! We had such a great time. I’m constantly amazed at the quality of friendships I’ve made online. I’m very lucky.
Activities of most note from her visit would be when I hit a deer on the Interstate going 75 miles an hour. Wow, that wasn’t fun. The deer had been hit by another car and was laying in the road. When I moved to the other lane to avoid hitting it, it got up and basically ran into my car. Luckily for me (not the deer), we didn’t hit it head on. The only damage to my car was to the side mirror, which is now totally missing. ooops.
But we did fun things too, we went to Glenwood Springs (I know, I was just there) to swim in the hot springs, ate lots of sushi, shopped down town GJ and found a cute new children’s boutique (see Honor’s new hat below.) And we spent some time at Tangle on Saturday; there was a huge group of people hanging out knitting – it was such a riot. See Joelene’s pictures of the store here.
It was a much needed, very fun weekend.
(And to answer the question why we don’t celebrate Halloween: We’re just not comfortable with the holiday’s pagan roots.)

Glad you guys had a good time together! Hitting deer are not fun and it’s fortunate you just lost the mirror. I would have freaked out if I saw it get up and come running at me!

Was this on the road you were telling me sees more deer casualties than any other road in the state?
So lucky it wasn’t worse!
