So May and June were very big months for my daughter and our family. First Sky finished her bachelor’s degree at UCCS here in Colorado Springs. It’s quite an accomplishment especially with the pandemic going on for the last year and a half. Sadly she didn’t get a real graduation, […]
So we closed on our land in Westcliffe. It was amazing. We went to Westcliffe and set in lawn chairs and just listened to the wind and looked at the mountains. It was so serine, I’ve never felt such peace. We walked the land and found the boundaries. I even […]
I’m so excited, it’s official we will be closing on 5 acres of land in Westcliffe, Colorado at the end of next month. Here are some pictures of the land. Isn’t the view stunning? Right now we live in Colorado Springs, however it’s getting so crowded and the crime. it’s […]
I recently took another trip to Ottawa Canada for a business trip. It was freezing, but so pretty. I really love Canada, it’s such a wonderful country and amazing people. Here are just a few pictures from my trip. I just love the canals and the architecture. If you get […]
I’ve taken a few cooking classes this year and this month I took three cooking classes. All the classes were at the French Kitchen in Colorado Springs and Kristi. The first class was a couples class. Dan and I had a blast, we drank wine and made these fantastic shrimp […]
Every two years my family has a reunion. This year was really fun, several of my cousins (many of which I had never met before) came to the reunion. It was wonderful, I really enjoyed meeting my cousins. The picture on the left is my brother, sisters, nieces, nephew, daughter, […]
In my last post I talked about my fused glass class with Laurie Spray. In this blog I wanted to talk about the Airbnb I stayed at while I was taking the class. The airbnb host was Nancy and she was a true delight. We had a wonderful time together. […]
After taking the cookie class (see previous blog) Lela and I took another cooking class (BTW I don’t enjoy cooking). The class was at the French Kitchen in Colorado Springs. They gave me a nice bag because I signed up for another class. I made chicken and dumplings. I so […]
So I really love learning new things so recently I took 2 classes… Cooking classes!! The first class was a French Macarons class. This was more of a demonstration but I still enjoyed it. The class was in a local shop. Nice shop and instructor. What I learned from this […]
On our way home from Breckenridge, we stopped by the “Ghost town” of St Elmo. It was a very cool place, but I’m not sure if I would call it a ghost town. Plus the disappointing thing is they there were cars parked downtown, there wasn’t other places to park […]
In my last blog I wrote about my activities in Breckenridge. I also wanted to talk about some of our relaxing activities. First Breckenridge is a great little town. It has a beautiful river walk. We walked around the town an river a couple of times. So many beautiful flowers […]
Last week, my husband and I went on our first week long vacation in very long time, we went to Breckenridge Colorado. Breckenridge is such a beautiful place. The reason why we took the time to go on vacation alone is last Christmas, my husband and I agree is we […]
Recently I’ve been blogging about my fused glass at the flipping peddler here in Colorado Springs. So I thought I should give a shout out to Tulip’s in Denver. I’ve had my fused glass there for several years and it’s a wonderful shop. Recently when I was dropping off some […]
I love animals and I’ve always been amazed by wolves, foxes, and coyotes. It saddens me to say there aren’t wild wolves in Colorado but there are two sanctuaries for wolves relatively close to me. This month my husband and I went to the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in […]
