We live in the "high country" close to two world class National Parks--Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Both are different and both are spectacular. Grand Teton is a boutique mountain range that soars above Jackson Hole that offers wonderful hikes, pristine mountain lakes, and of course the mountains. Yellowstone, the world's first national park, has everything that Grand Teton has and more: wildlife, geysers, hot pots, and places that have never seen the hand of man. Going to both parks is an awe-some experience. We live nearby and going to the parks is "normal" and "no big thing" only it really is a BIG THING. The parks are what drew us to our little home in the aspens and the parks keep us coming back year after year for over 50 years.
Living in this wonderful place brings visitors and company. I love company. This week we have had 2 sets of company and we got to trot out the local beauty. With company, we get lots of time to talk, time to see the parks, time to share meals and time to remember when. I love it. Last night, after dinner on the back porch, we talked til midnight--this morning we got up early, had a quick breakfast and talked about what was going to happen next. Tonight, we'll all come back exhausted and excited about all the wonderful things we've seen.
It's such a treat for us to share our little patch of the world with our friends and family. So, if you have not been to either of these parks, come on over and hang out for awhile. I'm even a pretty good tour guide. Remember, we're all in this togehter.

My favorite places. We loved spending time with you both. It was magical to be there and see the deer and listen to the tree sing their song. Blessings and love to you and Chet.
