Spring Bee Hiving Moon
Mile high. On the high plains on the Front Range. The Rockies themselves are not far from here, a drive west, then up, up, up wending between 13ers and 14ers, past Rocky Mountain National Park. They serve residents of Denver as a handy directional system. See the mountains? That’s west. Makes it easy to navigate.
But, a tricky matter. Having gone to the wrong Doubletree on the online reservation I was careful to reserve a room at the Doubletree on Quebec. So I went to the Doubletree on Quebec closest to Jon and Jen’s home. I wasn’t in the reservation system. Hmm. So I looked on my phone where I always hold reservation confirmations. But, I couldn’t find it.
The clerk made a call, gave my name. Yes, I was registered there. Another Doubletree. Where is it? On Quebec. Only four blocks from where I stood at the Doubletree reservation counter. For some reason Doubletree has two large hotels within four blocks of each other and both on Quebec. How bout that?
We got there. It used to be a Red Lion and it seemed like it was up until yesterday. The desk clerk said it had changed two years ago. Oh. Well, what do you know. I missed that change.
Anyhow we’re here, a west facing room., toward the Rockies. The grandkids are coming over tonight for a meal here. Then we’ll see what happens next. The party for Gabe is on Saturday.
