June Magic

 

Wow, June has been a really wonderful month!

The first week-end we hiked up to Alberta Falls
and then down to Boulder Brook

The next week-end Remi spent the night
and we had fun taking him to garage sales

I found the perfect birthday present for Seth
(for only 75 cents) then wrapped up all the
little presents and hung them on it

We had such a fun birthday party at the Rio.
All the kids and grandkids were there!

We had fun at the arcade too!

The next Saturday I played for 18 students
at Juliana's voice recital and Otis sang!
He was fabulous and I'm so proud of him.
It's so much fun playing for his voice lessons.

The next day we went to Idaho Springs and enjoyed
soaking in the springs, hiking and eating at
some restaurants in town.

We went in the cave baths for the very first time
and here's what I wrote about my experience.

In the Cave Baths

I just experienced my very first cave bath.
Steven went in the men's and I went in the women's.
The baths were in a long tunnel and I was the only person there.
I walked to the end of the tunnel and got in the very
last one, the 4th one. Hot!  Amazingly Incredibly hot!
Off came the swimsuit immediately. After several minutes
I felt like I needed air so I walked out the first door and saw
a hole in the roof that went straight to the outside.
The hole was blocked mostly, but there was a
tiny space where air was coming through.
After breathing some fresh air for awhile I was ready
to go back in. I totally immersed myself for a couple of minutes
(except for my face.) Then I sat with just my feet in
the water and started singing the Hanuman Chalisa softly.
I stopped after hearing someone come in.
Then another lady came in. I didn't really feel like
striking up a conversation so I decided it was probably
time to go. As I was walking out, one lady said
" I love your robe! Where did you get it?"
I thanked her and said Good Will. (my frog robe)
So it was a pretty awesome experience being naked
in a cave bath all by myself. But actually I wasn't
by myself. There were three pictures in
the rock walls that jumped right out at me.
Natural pictures formed right in the rock.
First I saw HI in big letters. Then I saw the face of
Hanuman. And then I saw a heart.



The next week-end I played for the very
talented Kyle Gibben's senior voice recital.

And now no more playing for awhile.
Time to relax.

 

On June 22, Dusty launched his fund-raising campaign for Crystal Activations. It's so awesome and I'm having fun
telling everyone about it. If you haven't contributed yet, please do!

On June 27, Seth proposed to Patty!
We are all soooooo happy and looking
forward to their wedding next April!

And here's an exciting thing Oona did in June.
She had her picture made with Sylvester McCoy
from Doctor Who and The Hobbit :)

Yesterday we went on a beautiful hike from Bear Lake
to Beirstadt Lake and then down to Hollowell Park.

My peak animal experience of the month was
when there was a little frog singing at our waterfall
and here's a video of him singing a duet with me.

That little froggie inspired me to write
Golden Tree Frog Song for my next song.
And then today I made a nice singing video
of it out by the magic waterfall tree.

Wow, I am so thankful for all the wonderful and incredible
blessings of June!

Lots of Love and
Incredible Blessings to You
