Finally, a little outing

Ellen finally got a chance to get out of the house today. Lissy Garrison, a member of Rob's staff and friend of Betsey, came to visit, and she was very capable in helping with Betsey, thus freeing Ellen. We had about two hours. So Ellen drove us to Nederland, where we had time for a coffee and treat, and we drove back - all in exactly two hours. It was a perfect day, weather-wise, and the drive was spectacular, up through Gold Hill to the Peak-to-Peak highway. A great little getaway.

Earlier, I went to church at First Congregational, and afterward did a shopping trip to Target and to Ideal Whole Foods Market. This evening we had another delicious meal on the patio, and then I helped Betsey with some carrot/dill soup, which she loved. We are so lucky to have Ellen!
