Greetings From Golden

[Mary]

I tried too, Bonnie! I wonder what they're doing that they're too busy to answer the phone?
Don't bother with an answer, I know. . . they're having a GREAT TIME!

Strange?

Strange?

No one has posted for a day..and that was Janie walking the hike.. Maybe Ross needs to send his hounds out soon. HANK..where are you? Maybe it was his laptop and he has left to go back home? Oh, well, hope Dave will be on Sunday night chat..Since he lives nearby...bonnie

Saturday morning was a long group breakfast, delicious.

Saturday afternoon we split into two groups, some to go shopping, some to tour Celestial Seasonings in Boulder. Quite a few hiked along Clear Creek right behind the hotel.

We kept asking why no one has called. Dave's cell was working fine, but no one called. Perhaps we got the number wrong? Other numbers were sent.

Our waitress last night was invited to join our website.

It's time to start making your plans to attend next year's reunion.

It's almost over already....

It's almost over already....

Here we are sitting in the lobby waiting for a leasure breakfast that'll start at 8:15. After that everyone will pretty much go his own way. My plane leaves at 1:45PM.
It's been a glorious 3 1/2 days. The location was fantastic, and everyone had a fabulous time.
Rain and Dave outdid themselves. Job well done.
We missed all of you who had to stay home this year for one reason or another. I would encourage everyone to plan ahead for next year so more of us can be there. You won't regret it, and that's a promise.

Hey Everyone,
Marsha and I made it back home safe and sound. I am sorry that your phone calls didn't make it. I don't know what was going on, had my phone on all the time we were there.
We had a WONDERFUL time and was sad it had to end. I hope everyone plans to attend next year, you will not regret it at all.
Take Care

I wanna know why you didn't spank Sherry like you were supposed to for me?

And Miss Janie, Gina once again sounded entirely to straight on the phone. Did you ever get her crocked for me?

 

[Hank]

Half Way Home!

Half Way Home!

Well, we just made it to Santa Fe, NM. We will siesta here for the night and then be home tomorrow.

Once again, thank you to everyone who came and to Rain and Dave for everything they did to arrange this most successful of reunions.

We are looking forward to the next one already

Time flies!!

Time flies!!

Hello everybody, it seems like yesterday that you started making all the plans for the reunion. I'm so happy to hear that you all had a good time. I've hardly visited the site over the last couple of days. Yesterday I had a wedding to go to and today I went out with Robert and Bruna for the day. By the way, I hope Rain got the postcards I sent in time. Anyway, welcome back!!
Débora

Back from Golden! Wish you all could have been with us. Plan ahead for next year! Hank has a new poll going. Have a bunch of photos. Many cameras were flashing. You would think we were being chased by the poparatzi

This is a photo of Cort, Janie, Rain, Gina and Jan near Buffalo Bills Grave on Lookout Mountain, Golden, CO.

One picture posted, more to come

Golden 2004 rocked !!!!! I'd post more now, but I'm too pooped to pop. Take care, All. Will post more tomorrow night.

 

[Guest]

Don't have a lot of time to post, but since my friend here in Salt Lake City has given me the opportunity to check my online message boards, thought I'd drop a quick line here, though I doubt I'll be able to check any replies until I get home next Tuesday (Oct 26). I know I'll miss a bunch of threads (including the end of this one...?) while I'm away (last week and this coming week), but that's "just the way it is".

The VR Golden Reunion was wonderful this year! It was great to see old friends and meet some new ones this year. The weather was gorgeous (for the most part) as was the scenery....in more ways than one .

BTW, Ross, when everyone was talking to you, I was in the parking lot visiting with some of my friends from the First and Fourth Gen MC clubs.... I'll try to call you sometime soon .

*turns to Gina*

Wow! That is a wonderful picture...thanks for sharing!!! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos...when I get home next week.... BTW, how was the shape of your home when you got back?

*pauses*

BTW, Hank and Michelle...is your daughter still smiling?

*grins*

I'll be in Salt Lake City through Tuesday morning, then onto Cortez CO (Hi Rain!) and Albq NM...then Oklahoma City OK...then Dallas TX (hope to see some VR.com folks in TX)...before heading for home sweet(?) home.

Hope all is well!

 

[Kay]

I WILL be at next year's reunion no matter where it is! I can't wait for two reasons --

1) It will be a blast, and 2) My surgery will be almost a year behind me!


Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I can't wait!!!

Hello from Rapid City, SD

Hello from Rapid City, SD

Here we are in Rapid City, SD. We got here around 6pm today. No grandbaby yet! but it will be soon. We're stayin in a hotel that luckily, has a computer in the lobby, like the one in Golden did. I thought that was great, since my hubby is up in our room watching the Viking's game. Football, yuck!!

Anyway, we had a wonderful time in Golden, the weather was great, the scenery was absolutely beautiful...and the company was fantastic as usual.

BTW, when we split up on Sat...our group didn't just go shopping...we went to Heritage Square, where there is a huge Alpine slide, which a few brave souls, (Rain, Janie, Gina, and Sherry), rode to the top of on a chair-lift and then came down on a sled-type thing. Lorraine went up too, for the view, but opted to take the chair-lift back down, I wasn't even brave enough to go up there!

I've got pics of them all at the bottom of the slide, that I'll post as soon as I get home. After that...we went to Red Rocks, which was spectacular!

All in all, it was a great weekend...Thanks Dave and Rain for all your work!!

I'll be sure and post those new grandbaby pics too...as soon as he makes his debut!

 

[catwoman]

It was great being able to meet everyone... just like seeing family!

Cort:

If you get back to a computer this week, please post where you'll be in the Dallas area....

Wayne and I

Wayne and I

got back to Estes Park around 5:30 p.m. today (Sunday). We spent the rest of my birthday (after being serenaded by all the gang in Golden) going to Eldorado Canyon near Boulder (we watched the rock climbers there - are they crazy?? - I didn't have a choice with my heart surgery, but THEY have a choice in partaking in such craziness!!!) - then spent a few hours on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder and home.

Wayne and I both had a wonderful time in Golden. Everyone made Wayne feel so welcome. I felt like I was among family - never have I walked into a room full of people with such ease - I felt like I was heading towards a family reunion (and guess I was).

I now wish Wayne and I would have been able to spend more time at the reunion in Golden. It was a wonderful time. Thanks to Rain and Dave and Hank for their work in setting up the festivities!!

It was wonderful meeting all of you!!

I wanted everyone to see the Nice Cake that Jean (weekycat) decorated for the reunion. It was beautiful and very good.

So, I got a chance to look again tonight .

*turns to Marsha*

I'll be in the Dallas/Garland area. I have no idea, unfortunately, where I'll be staying overnight. My original plan was to be there 2 nights...Friday and Saturday...as I have a bunch of people to see from my car boards and a couple people from here that were not able to go to the reunion, as well as a mom of someone with CHD from another heart-related board of which I am a member. That, however, is up in the air, as my place to stay is no longer an option...heh. Yeah, I know that is clear as mud...I'm sorry. I'm going to PM you my cell phone # in case you want to meet up while I'm in Dallas....that'd be great .

*pauses*

Dave...thanks for sharing those pictures .

*pauses*

I still can't believe the Reunion is over .

Hey Ross,
Just remember, what went on in Golden stays in Golden!
