we had breakfast with Mack Bailey and his wife, Rachel! We enjoyed a nice, lively conversation over our food. What a great way to start the day, especially for Mary.Mack Bailey and Ellen Staplehorst were singing for a church service at the Aspen Community Chapel so we went to it. It was not the kind of service we are used to, but the chaplain presented a message about St. Francis of Assisi around their songs. Afterwards they were having a blessing of the animals so there were lots of dogs, large and small, outside. One lady brought a picture of her cat (due to all the dogs) and we received a certificate for Kitsa so she was blessed in abstentia. We said "good bye" to Mack, met up with a couple from Melbourne, Australia that wanted a ride to Windstar and headed out.
We had a free lunch at Windstar, heard Jim Conner and Aspen Meadow perform, then walked around the grounds. Mary sat on a bench next to John Denver's aunt, Bubbles, and Bubbles struck up a conversation with her, another Aspen Moment. We checked out the John Denver statue and the commemorative bricks around it, the gift shop, and enjoyed the sunshine as we walked the grounds. 
After leaving Windstar we took our Aussie friends to the Woody Creek Tavern for a snack before returning to Aspen. Tonight is the last JD concert by John Adams. Tomorrow is "Good-Bye Again" and then a stop at Glenwood Springs and Georgetown as we head east.
