A TIMELESS FRIENDSHIP – August 27 – 30

Rob met Rob in the early 70’s in college.  An unlikely pair in an unlikely setting, they kicked off a friendship that has truly lasted the test of time.  Still communicating on a regular basis we see “Cloos” whenever the opportunity arrives.  He and wife Lidia moved to Colorado from Florida a few years back and live in Castle Rock, about 20 minutes from Jacob’s place in Palmer Lake.  With Jacob and Leslie off to celebrate their 40^th birthdays in Vegas for the weekend, we took off for the weekend with buddy Rob.

We arrived late afternoon and settled in to the old routine, as it were.  Rob and Rob are quite the pair – overly dedicated to any task at hand while bringing out the silliness in each other like no one else can.  We spent the weekend cooking, eating, hiking, soaking in the hot tub with the boys always into some project or another.

I took advantage of having the RV right outside their door and did some cooking, baking and laundry without the usual complications of RV style.  Not that I dislike living ala RV.  I actually love creating culinary masterpieces from my tiny kitchen!  It’s just that it was a special treat to not have to light the pilot light every time or worry about how many layers of food or dishes I have on top of the last layer!  Cloos had a special request for key lime pie so – voila!  Done! 

Anyway, the three days we had together passed by quickly and we all headed north at the same time.  Rob and Lidia to their Airbnb cabin in WY to do a turn and Rob and I to Fort Collins to visit our next chapter – Rich and Lisa – also of the Kramer lineage!
