Thanksgiving Visit with Casey and Chuck

I'm looking forward to my trip with Jeff over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit with Casey and Chuck in Fairplay, CO.
... maybe there will be an early snow :)

I fell in love with Casey and Chuck's warm hospitality and magnificent place in the woods during my first visit with them there last Christmas. I can't think of too many other places I would rather be over the Christmas season! Besides their house and grounds being absolutely gorgeous (and at an elevation of 10,300 feet -- it's breathtaking!), it is an animal lover’s paradise... I even saw deer from Casey's kitchen window. How beautiful!


You can see the trees outside the window in this shot of Chuck with his Baltimore Colts Christmas presents (and Casey in her Christmas vest)...



Charlie, Kye and Mary will be there this Thanksgiving as well. I met Charlie and Kye over Fourth of July 2006 at Rattlesnake Gulch (that was great fun!) and I'm looking forward to meeting Charlie's girlfriend Stephanie and Casey's daughter Mary. Mary lives in New York, not too far from our sons Scott and Glenn and daughters Megan and Eden . (Maybe someday we can plan to have a family Get Together in New York!)

Being a new member of the Kelley Family (Jeff and I will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary during this Thanksgiving visit!) -- I'm looking forward to meeting lots and lots of new Kelley family members. (Well, new to me that is)
:)

Be on the lookout (on this space) for family pictures of our Thanksgiving trip... Jeff and I can hardly wait to share them with the rest of the family!


Namaste,
Maria

Jeff adds:
Charlie was bragging to me that he scored a Chevy Trailblazer from his rental company...

...this, of course, was in really poor taste in light of
what Maria and I got stuck with from OUR rental company...

...but we get the last laugh, because WE get the AARP discount!

Maria adds:
Jeff got us the discount. (My age, 29, isn't old enough to qualify for an AARP discount!) :)
