telly ride, part 1

oh heaven on earth.
like a thomas kincade painting, but better.
we have had quite a bit of change happening in our family and thought it would be a great time to do thanksgiving a little differently this year. nonni, papa, tio, megan, the daisies and i, nini, jj, auntie and uncle jerry came to "telly ride" for 5 days of nirvana. it all came to an end much too soon. while we still have one more day, i am already mourning our departure. i hope we can make this a family tradition. the easiest, stress-free, most family-oriented and purest holiday we have ever had. what is left of our family is the strongest most beautiful, unbreakable, steadfast bond.
i never want to leave.
on the way up, we stopped in ouray at a great little chocolatier. i bought two turkeys for my little turkeys.

this was the windiest road i have ever experienced in my LIFE. i always thought i had an iron stomach, but the altitide and twisty turns really got to me. i actually had to have papa pull over so i could hurl...not fun :(
titter was scared and had little "protect" her. little said, "titter, i'm not scared...should i be?"

we stopped in durango and in the front of someone's yard were 8 DEER! just hanging out. beautiful.
