This blog is a bit out of my norm, it’s about my new truck. Hopefully you won’t mind. After twelve wonderful years with my quirky 2013 Juke, I finally decided it was time for something new. That little car had personality—it wasn’t exactly quick off the line (I always joked […]
A few months ago, we were having dinner at a friend’s house when they offered Dan some whiskey. I overheard him say, “Karen won’t want whiskey,” and I couldn’t help but laugh—“What? I want a shot!” Back in the day during our TDYs, Jerome and I had our fair share […]
We love going to see Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. Now that we have Westcliffe we stayed the night in Westcliffe then drove over the mountains through Gunnison. Here are a couple pictures of Westcliffe and the reservoir near Gunnison. Sadly Ryan and Jaymie wasn’t there, but we had a […]
I have a large family and an even larger extended family. Here are just a few of the posts I’ve written about my family. I love them all so very much! This month I went to Texas to visit my Family and Friends. My first stop was to visit my […]
As y’all know I love the flowers in Westcliffe and I post pictures of flowers all the time. Here are some I posted last month. Not detracting from Colorado, Flowers, or Spring, I love Colorado in the Fall. We came to Westcliffe and took a beautiful drive to see the […]
So we’ve been to Westcliffe several times, but I haven’t shown you the pictures. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trips to my little piece of heaven. The first group should be no surprise – flowers. Some were planted and some are wild. BTW when I say […]
This month my beautiful child turned 25. Here are some pictures of my baby through the years (birth, 8, 10, 13, 18, 21, 25). I love you so much sweetheart. We all went to the Denver Botanical Gardens to celebrate. It was nice, a bit hot. We loved the flowers, […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As always we went to visit Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. We had a wonderful time, I love seeing my great nieces. Here are just a few pictures of our visit. The first row is Emeri and her Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Great […]
I went to visit my momma this month. She’s been going through a rough time, and I just wanted to see her. She has such a beautiful smile. I’m so glad I took the time to see her. I also got to see my sister Sherry and Joanne as well […]
A few years ago, we had a family reunion, and I was able to meet my cousins that I’ve either never met or haven’t seen in 50 years. Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know each other even more, and it’s been a wonderful experience. Recently one of […]
We went to Westcliffe several times this month, and I wanted to post a few pictures of some of our activities. First, I have to show you our beautiful sunrise and of course our hummingbirds. They are so much fun to watch. It’s been a bit chilly and raining so […]
In April’s DYK I wrote about my love for the special women in my life. For Mother Day I made presents for my Mom and Mother-in-law. Here is the present I made for my mom. It’s a Fused Glass flower vase and to make it really special I added a […]
Last year I made presents for my grandniece Ryan. I screen-printed bibs and a glass sconce. My niece, Kaci, just had a beautiful little girl – Emeri. She’s such a cutie so I made her some bibs too. It’s a different type of bib, much easier to screen-print on. I […]
*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
