On the Road Again

We had a great time visiting the Simpsons in Webster, Mass. Their lake home is magnificent. We road on boats, went to lake fireworks, sailed in Naragansett Bay off Newport, saw Blueman Group in Boston, cracked lobsters with rocks at the Barking Crab on the Charles River, and played Horse with Jesse. Grant and Michelle came up for the first 5 days and it was great to see them. They had a blast being towed through the water on tubes and knee boards and playing with Riley and Blinckey, the Brittany Spanials.
The trip home ran a little late, and Loveland is having a Summer Fest this weekend. When we got there, no rooms were available so we got into Carl and Marion's home for the night. The good thing was we heard an add for a concert at Redrock Amphitheatre with KD Lang and Lyle Lovett on Friday night. We went on the internet and got tix. Kevin joined us and we drove down to the affair just south and west of Denver. Redrock was built in a redrock canyon on natural terrain, and is breathtaking; overlooking the distant Denver skyline. The seating is bench style but wide and roomy. The concert was excellent. KD was real good and Lyle had 13 pieces and four vocalists including Francine Reeves, who's a killer jazz/rock and roll singer. He went two hours non stop and must have done 25 tunes. Third time we've seen him and the best yet.
We head for Rawlings, Wy., today.
