After a wonderful, though chaotic, week in Colorado with my oldest and dearest friend, Julie, I can't seem to muster up the words to recapitulate the trip..... so I'll use photos. I'll omit photos of Maeve's profuse vomiting but there is simply no way to avoid the snot. You'll see what I mean. And for a profoundly more poignant summary of our experience, I urge you to visit Julie's blog where the Paul Simon homage explains it all.... Love you, Goose.

The obligatory establishing shot... real dump, isn't it?

This is how she 'smiles'!

Maeve loves Julie's hat... she wore it to the store.
