May 2005
What a month! Tara sent an early Mother's Day bouquet that was amazingly long lived.
We are always talking to our friends about our train activities, and we finally had a chance to share. The restoration of the dining car was finally completed, so we took the opportunity to invite our Jaguar Club to be the first group to use the car.
The next day, we started our drive to Cedaredge Colorado to vist our friends Dave and Carol Ann. We stayed for a week and explored the surrounding area - Ridgeway, Ouray, Grand Mesa, Grand Junction, Delta, and Telluride. And on our way home, we took the long way through Arches, Canyonlands and Capital Reef National Parks.
Bonnie was home for a few (4) days and then flew to Seattle. A long time family friend, Alice, and a few other friends invite Bonnie to their annual celebration of May birthdays.
Another event on the trip was the baby shower for Mark and Denise. Many family members attended including Aunt Helen and Cousin Pat.
Visits around town included a stop at Lance and Pam's. Frank and Lance were captured in their natural habitats.
And what a fast growing pair Ashley and Allison!

Then Bonnie was home for a couple (yes 2!) days, then off to Zion National Park with her hiking group. Usually they hike trails in our area, but by May its getting too hot locally.
