When It's Falltime in the Rockies

Alright, I know the song is all about "Springtime in the Rockies," but I love this time of year best. On Saturday, 18 October, Emily, Max, Lizzie, Katy, Kris and I drove to SLC and went with Rob, Anna, and their family to Ledgemere picnic area in Big Cottonwood Canyon for a campfire dinner: hotdogs or tinfoil dinners and s'mores. It was a spectacular fall evening and we had a great time using up some of the wood left over from the Idaho reunion. This is the best time of year.

This is what people watched in the olden days before
television -- more entertaining in many ways

That's all for now.

Looks like a Lovely evening! I miss the cool fall weather and all the beauties of Fall. Mostly I just miss all of you!
PS Did Katy give in and buy some Keens?

Maren: No. She arrive at home for the outing in flats and Kris let her borrow some of hers.

I do miss a real fall time. We don't really get one here in TX. Things just cool a bit and everyone is refreshed by the break in the heat. Sweatshirts and a campfire look like a treat.
