Rico, ColoradoOur holiday in Colorado
The pictures showing now are of our recent holiday in Rico, Colorado. Now, you may not know where Rico, Colorado is but, if you know where Telluride, CO is on the map, then look about thirty miles Southwest and, if you have a good map (lol), you will see Rico. Rico is a small town or village that is at about 8,900 ft. altitude up in the moutains. It is not anywhere near as pricey as Telluride (yet), and the people living there live there mostly year around (I believe I could handle that!). But, the town is small enough that everyone is friendly, and everyone knows nearly everyone else.
I had a little problem with the tire chains on my car and couldn't make it all the way up to the cabin. So, with no cel phone service there, I managed to get to the one and only gas station/convenience store and call my son to come down and get us. The people at the convenience store were so kind and helpful offering to let me leave my car in their parking lot until we either got it up to the cabin, or left to come back home.
Anyway, it was great to get a week away. We got all our Christmas cards (yes, I said Christmas cards! Not "Seasons Greetings" cards!) finished. I took them to the local post office and asked the lady postmaster if she would use the local postmark on them. After giving me this 'song and dance' about bulk mail needing to go into a mail center probably in Denver, she informed that "of course" she would use a local cancellation on them! She was only too helpful!
 Merry Christmas to all, my good friends
