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, last month I wrote about going to Westcliffe Colorado and looking for a piece of land for us to build on when we retire. We went back this month to see where the surveyor marked the land (sadly he hadn’t been there yet) but we walked around […]
Just keeping you up today with my foray into cooking. I took my first class alone this month, crepes. I met a wonderful lady and we had a good time. We made both sweet and savory crepes the French way and it’s not as easy as you’d think. Hers were […]
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 […]
In my last blog I wrote about my good friend Iris leaving Colorado Springs. Well we spent the day together in Manitou Springs last week. What a blast we had. It was a beautiful day (close to 70 degrees – yes in February) in Colorado! Manitou Springs is a small […]
Warning, This is a very personal Blog. Iris, one of my dear friends is moving to Texas. Iris and I’ve been friends for over 14 years. We served together at Peterson AFB and even though we both retired from the Air Force we remained good friends. Iris has been such […]
I had another business trip to Rhode Island this January. I really enjoy Newport and the Naval War College is so fascinating. Of course I worked 10-12 hr shifts so I didn’t have anytime to write my newsletter or anything glass related. In fact I took these 2 pictures on […]
Another cooking class at the French Kitchen. Dan and I took a fantastic cooking class recently. I just can’t get enough of these cooking classes. This one was with Kristie of course. I’m so going to miss her, this was my last class with her. It was a fix and […]
In my last blog I wrote about our trip to Steamboat Springs. How we went to the hot springs and snowmobiling. So much fun. We also took the gondola up to the top of the ski runs (no I don’t ski anymore). Something I didn’t know about Steamboat is it […]
I love to travel, not just overseas but here in Colorado as well. Last year my husband and I made a commitment to spend more time together. We had a blast last year, so we made the same commitment this year. Our first trip of the year was to Steamboat […]
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 […]

I have so many things to be thankful for family (my husband, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, mom, sisters, brothers, nieces & nephews, cousins, in-laws), friends, and of course my job. […]
