My Sister And Brother In-Law / The Final Few Days

 

Song:  Give Me Love

Artist:  George Harrison

These photos cover the last three days of my elder sister and her husband's stay

at my home.

In the evening, three days ago...

we had gone to an all you can eat sushi restaurant in Colorado Springs.

The last time I had been here was when my younger sister had visited.

As yesterday we just relaxed at home...

we had lunch in a small restaurant in Cripple Creek.

We just had something light...

and later that night...

I made supper.

My sister started with some whiskey

(I bought some just before their arrival...

as my sister and her husband like an occasional whiskey).

Although I don't drink...

I tried a little.

Yeah...

I just don't like alcohol.

I made Mandarin Chicken...

and Chicken Fried Rice.

This would be our last meal together...

as early on the next morning...

they would be departing.

While my sister was here...

on most nights...

she would get in the first floor steam sauna for half an hour or so...

...and just lie down on one of the benches as the steam soothed her.

And afterwards...after a short rest...

she would then go up to the loft to get into the Infrared Sauna

for half an hour to get fully relaxed.

She said that each sauna has its own unique feel and after experience...

and so...

she loves to do both...

one after the other.

After a hot shower or bath...

she then feels comfortably drowsy...

and so...

 sleeps extra well.

She also said it makes her skin feel so much better afterwards.

The Infrared Sauna is in the left most far corner of the loft.

Early the following morning...

they packed up their vehicle...

and then departed.

It was a beautiful morning...

and they will be going back on a beautiful route

which will take them through some beautiful mountains.

Their drive home will take them about 20 hours...

as it is just over 1,000 miles away (over 1,700 Kilometers).

Both...my younger sister...

and I, will be tracking their progress on an app.

------------------

We all had a very good time.

My sister and her husband had found the first floor room to be very comfortable.

We had seen many things and had greatly enjoyed ourselves...

but my sister in particular...

loved sitting in the recliner and just enjoying the views...

and sometimes napping in it...

especially during a summer rain shower.

They will be coming back for another stay sometime in the future...

as each season here has its own beauty and flavor.

-------------------

I plan to start a new minor project later today...

since I am awaiting the arrival of the remainder of marine carpeting

for the decks.

I will do some weeding and plant removal as I prepare

the ground for the wildflowers I will first plant along the walkway...

and between the second floor bedrooms.
