enjoy the moments.

there have been all too many reminders surrounding me in the last week that life is precious, and can be cut short at any time. last week brett's wonderful grandfather passed away after a long life spent surrounded by his family and enjoying a number of adventures and careers. additionally, the owner of vista verde passed away unexpectedly while in colorado. the throgmartin family purchased the ranch just before i started working there, so their first summer was also mine. i also learned of two tragic outdoor adventure deaths around steamboat last week- one snowboarder on the mountain and another snowmobiler in the wilderness. yesterday, a good friend also lost her sweet grandfather. it all makes you pause and remember to enjoy the little moments, the details, the laughter & the memories as they pass. love to all.
