Noni & Papa Short visit Omaha 8-09

Noni & Papa watching the golf tourament. The 6th hole is right in back of our home. You can see the green in the background. They would clap, cheer the players on and the golfers would wave back and laugh. They sat out there for 3 hours...no kidding!

Ohhhh cocktail hour! : } Every afternoon at about 4:30pm, we'd gather on our front patio, sit and talk about our day [with wine and snacks of course].

Noni held a class in making Biscotti's one rainy Saturday afternoon. Marjean and I loved it. We made vanilla/pistacchio and maple/pecan biscotti's. Ummmmm!!

Papa working for his ride : } He's helping Rod attach the pull to help get the plane out of the hangar. We went for a sunset flight....beautiful!

My 2 very special guys! : }

Noni's first ride EVER in a sports car. She's so tiny! Reminds me of Noni Ciaccio.

Our friend, Kevin Herrmann, was visiting and brought out his hidden talent of bar tending. Fun!

Noni, early in the morning, rewriting her phone book. Alwasy something to do. NEVER bored!

Papa earning his keep! He had the job of walking over to get the mail everyday and I'd hear, "But I on acation!" hahaha

Noni and Papa walking around the Old Market remeberingwhen we lived down there. They loved it!

Retirement Home in Loveland, CO

This is our new retirement home in Loveland, CO that we will go to in 4 years. It's a patio home and all the outside will be maintained for us.

We love the landscape with all the boulders and flowers. Look at the colors!

This is the view off the deck outside the great room off the kitchen. It's Horseshoe Lake and it's full to capacity. That's common ground out to the fence that separates the green grass from the brown grass.

This is the view of Longs Peak in the front of the house. It had just stopped raining at the time of this picture.

Here's the kitchen with an island we can eat at. The Breakfast nook is through the doorway on the right. The back splash is all brick.

This is the view standing in the foyer looking into the great room on the right and dining room on the left. The stair railing leads to the finished walkout basement.

This is what we see when we come down the stairs and stand in the family room. The hall leads to 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. The room on the left is for exercising or it could be a game room or maybe even a theater room if we closed off the hall doorway : }

This is the downstairs family room that leads out onto a patio that's under the deck. To the left of this room is dad's office.

Well that's it! Just to give you all an idea of where we will be moving in 4 years. Back to our beloved CO in an area that we are very familiar with. A very comforting feeling. AND there is plenty of room for visitors!!!! Love you all <3>
