Busy busy busy, the town is full. You could just hang out all day and people watch and not get bored. People are from all over the country and World are here and you see just about everything.
We had a great day as I said (sorry we were late) and the boys had a blast. You can actually let them go down to the park alone here and not be worried. Above is the misses and the boys in a bike they rented bringing water back to our hotel for the event. They swam hard on and off for the entire day before we all jumped in our friend Peggy’s 1938 Rolls Royce for the trip to the
Inn at Aspen out by Buttermilk. The boys loved it as they sat in the front and the car, like something out of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and it would backfire really loud every now and then like a gun shot or something. We had everyone looking at us as we were driving through town and I’d venture to say, this is the only 1938 Rolls convertible here. Peggy, who comes from a wealthy family in Memphis, bought it for fun when there was a Great Gatsby party to go to. Her house is just on the outside of town and she bought it 30 some years ago when she first came to Aspen. She said no one would rent to a 20 year old kid so she had to buy it. Her family had lots of horses and was into polo and fox hunting (you get the picture) but Peggy is kind, sweet and not at all into herself. She has her own horses here, drives a jeep most of the time but
does have a couple of Ferrari’s, the Rolls and who knows what else. She used to be married to this now 60 some year old famous musician in town who we all went to see play. So we had a blast with her, met lots of her friends and spent the evening here and there having fun. She’s going with us to the big fund raiser at the St. Regis July 5th when we’re back in town. By the way, the misses looked like some movie star (click on the photo above to blow it up) in the back in her great dress, big sunglasses and scarf wrapped around her head.
Today we’re back to work from 12 to 3 hosting whoever floats in to try our wines. One of our friends who has a great restaurant in Denver kept texting us to see what we were doing. Around 10pm I went home (the misses went 10 minutes earlier) and left Aleks to walk around. I gave our friend Aleks cell number so they could hook up and they must have as I heard Aleks get in around 3:30 or 4am, glad I didn’t stay with him!
It’s cooler today but the sky is blue and I’m sure it’ll warm up! Here’s the misses to post some photos, oh by the way, the beds are real comfy.
