Home From Retreat

We left Wed about noon and stayed in Leadville Co that night. We woke up to about 3/4 inch of snow on the ground, so we jumped up and headed to Springs hoping we could at least arrive before too much snow hit.  About 30 or 30 miles out of Leadville, we finally got out of the snow and fog and the road from there out was good into Co Springs.  We found the retreat center and got a room about 10 min. from there.  The snow started and continued the whole time we were there!  It didn't really stick to the roads but did off the roads and on the truck.  The retreat site was awesome and the deer come right up and looked in the huge windows where we were holding our work sessions.  Larry shopped til he dropped and then some, but did not come home with anything too interesting.   We left CoSprings about 3:30 Sat and headed towards I-70 which had just barely been reopened.  We had really bad snow, rain, slush, ice, deep water on the road until we reached Glenwood Springs, where we stayed the night.  Got up on Sun., the weather was good and we had clear skies and roads the rest of the way home.  We hit a few yard sales in Rifle, can you believe it on Sunday???  Puttered our way home.  I loved the retreat, and Larry actually said he enjoyed the time away from work and didn't want to go back this morning!
