Last year some of the "Art Gypsies" went up to one of our artsy gals family cabin. It is in the Aspen area about 4 hours or so from here and we went up again this year. There is this fabulous artsy town called Basalt on the way up. So cute. We had to stop and shop a tad and eat on the river.
We got to the adorable and rustic "Swiss chalet" feeling cabin. It's just precious. Filled with loads of love and family/friends memories. It's been in Becky's husbands family for more than 30 years or so.
We we got there we had to check out the colors...off on a little walk we went.
Had to take pictures.
The aspens were just at the beginning of turning. Omygoodness, if you have never seen the glorious and majestic aspen trees in the Fall in Colorado, you are in for a real treat. This was my first time seeing them turn and they weren't even at their peak yet.
We all so needed to get away and snuggle up with some friendship love.
Fantastic and intriguing Kerstin (of whom is from Germany and brought THE best food to share) shared her skills of photography with me. I am pretty clueless with my big fancy camera, to say the least.
This is the lake near the cabin we walked around for the weekend. Can I say....awe-some?....Yes.
This is a peak that is grand and ....I forgot it's name. But whatever, it's glorious.
So the artsy fartsy craftsy time started.
We tend to make a monkey mess.
But who cares...it's all in fun.
We all have our own style and twist on whatever we do.
I will put what we worked on in a different post.
Then the food and cocktails began.
We played games, had German "hot mulled wine" and tons (I mean TONS!) of fun and belly laughing. Like, our bellies hurt from laughing so hard.
Off to casual hiking again the next day...
Snuggles and friendship smiles all around...
Then we had to say goodbye. To the snow that had fallen. To the laughs, the creative juices, the Fireball, the good stories, the warm fire, the blessings of times with incredible friendships, the yummiest food....you get the idea.
Sniff sniff.
See you next year, beautiful Aspen.
