ok, so i am really into my hand cream......lavender beeswax-based stuff that i bought at the herb festival......it smells wonderful, and it really softens all of the hard to soften places.........it costs only about $6, which is a bargain when one considers value.............that's it....a week away, and i am down to discussing handcream...........i fell jaded about western vacations, i guess.........i have been west nearly as many times as i have been to paris....my parent's best friends from college live in boulder, co,...........so we visited many times growing up........they have entertained my children when i attended workshops in denver.......and entertained my spouse and my middle child whilst biking through colorado............they are good people...speaking of my dad.....i really missed him in grand tetons.....he was the family photographer....and there have always been so many good shots to take in that park........or watercolors to buy......one visit years ago my father disallowed my mother permission to buy a watercolor of jenny lake....and she mourns the loss of this painting to this day..............it cost only $50 at the time.......and they came back with more than $50 to spare.........i brought her a signed book of yellowstone photos (the author was in the lobby of the yellowstone inn.........) and a photo-print of jenny lake....suitable for framing.......the watercolor incident was before charge cards...if it happened today she would have given forth the plastic without hesitation.........
