Hard to believe that summer has already come and gone. I was just enjoying the warm sunshine last week and realizing it would soon be time for the annual turning-of-the-aspens. It is happening quickly, and I’m really not ready! Because after the turning-of-those-aspens, comes the winter snow. As a matter of fact, it snowed last night in the mountains and another 16″ is expected tonight.

We went to Moab last weekend, to help with a bicyclist event for the weekend. No, I didn’t ride a bike - we operated an Aid Station at the top of a mountain pass and the bikers rode up 27 miles to 8,500 feet so we could give them water and snacks! Then they rode the rest of the 100-mile trek back down to the desert and heat!

And it was fun- warm weather, sunshine and some chilly moments at the top of the La Sal Mountains. Wonderful restaurants to eat at - albeit with the strangest liquor laws anywhere in the nation - and a great hotel for the stay.

It’s one of the real perks for owning your own business - you can decide to work all weekend, or play and work all weekend!

Here are a couple of pictures I took with my new phone camera - not a professional photographer for sure!
