My nephew, Rocky, just retired from the Air Force. He served 22 years just as I did. I’m so proud of him and I wanted to create something to commemorate his retirement. I created custom screen prints and then created this beautiful iridized white sconce. It’s kind of perfect timing […]
In 2019 before covid we had a fabulous family reunion. My mom is in a nursing facility, so we try to have them every two years at most. Here are some of my pictures. The far right are my brothers and sisters with my momma (7 out of 10 isn’t […]
I love flowers and one of my favorite things about Westcliffe and Colorado as a whole is the wildflowers. We went to Westcliffe last month and even though it’s toward the end of summer the flowers are still around, especially amazing sunflowers. Here are some pictures of one of my […]
It’s that time again, I so love the wildflowers of Colorado. The interesting thing about Westcliffe is that every time we go there are different flowers, and I love them all. I also have to take several pictures of each flower. This first group of flowers are from the side […]
This month my husband and I went to a Josh Groban concert at Red Rocks. Josh Groban has the most amazing voice, and his songs are so uplifting. My husband and I have loved Josh since 2002. The first time we heard him was in Japan, we went to Tama […]
Over the 4th of July we went to visit Dan’s Family in Delta Colorado. It was a long drive but they are very worth it. As we were driving to Delta through Montrose I saw a sign for the Black Canon and I told Dan I’ve never been there and […]
We took another trip to Westcliffe. Last year when we went there were tons of wildflowers this time of year. This year there wasn’t as many but they were still awesome. We also went to the property, mostly cactus but there were a few more flowers as well. Other beautiful […]
It’s been a few months since I visited Westcliffe so I really needed this trip. We did a bit of our normal routine including visiting the properties, going to the bakery, etc. This time we stayed at Dark Sky Suites. It’s ok, but for the price I expect a bit […]
As I have mentioned before in my posts, I have a job that allows me to travel and when I travel for work I try to do something for me as well. Last month was a busy month for me not only did I go to Paris I also got […]
I had a business trip last month to LA and as it turned out it was only 15 mins from my son’s house. I was able to see my son, my daughter-in-law, and of course my beautiful granddaughter. As I watched her play, I was mesmerized, she’s so beautiful and […]
I know ya’ll are probably bored with my posts of Westcliffe, but I never do. We love it. On our way over Hardscrabble pass. The trees were all laden with snow, it was so beautiful. We also saw some big horn sheep. On the way home we saw some too. […]
Last week I was able to travel to Washington DC for work. I love to travel whether for personal reasons or for work. I didn’t have a lot of free time, but I did take the time to see Mount Vernon and of course some of the monuments. I’ve been […]
We went to Westcliffe in January and February. We had such a wonderful time on both trips. In January we went looking for Elk along the Sangre de Cristo mountains and up in the wet mountains. We spent all day driving around looking at the beauty that is the Wet […]
For Christmas this year Dan and I decided to spend a whole week. A friend of mine owns a cabin and said we could use it. To put it mildly it was magnificent! We had the best time, we went on the 26th and came home on the 1st. Here […]
