I got an email from my niece, Renee, back in July. It was an invitation for me, her mom and my sister, Lila, and my cousin, Melody, to come spend a weekend at her log house in the mountains at Red Feather Lakes, west of Ft. Collins. What I really liked about her email, though, was it was addressed to the “Ya-Ya Sisterhood of the Traveling Aunts”. She really gets us. And yes, this is the same group who made the pilgrimage to Hugo, Colorado to discover our roots back in June.

Of course we all accepted and selected the last weekend in September to visit so we could enjoy the fall colors while we were up in God’s country. Renee and her husband, Mike, are the Godchildren of Charlie Parker, a former NFL and Bronco football player back in the 1960’s, and they acquired the cabin from him and his wife this past year. We affectionately call it the “Parker House”.
