This month we went to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) to see the fall colors. RMNP is adjacent to Estes Park. We haven’t been to RMNP because Estes Park is pretty crowded. But I just love the colors of Fall we visited this year for a couple of days. The […]
It’s that time again. I never get tired of visiting Westcliffe and I love writing about it and showing off our activities. As I’ve mentioned we always try to do something new. This month’s is no different. First we did our normal i.e., the best bakery in the world and […]
One of my cousins came to Colorado Springs this month. I haven’t seen her since I was 11 or 12. A little background, as a child when we went to Oklahoma my Aunt Pauline and Cousin Carol Jean took us in and helped us a great deal. Kualine is Carol […]
For those who follow my posts and Newsletters, you know my husband I bought a beautiful piece of land or what I refer to as my little piece of heaven. We try to go to Westcliffe once a month. This month when we went our mountains were blacked out by […]
Recently my husband and I have been trying to take trips more often. Mainly our trips are in Colorado, (other than Westcliffe). We’ve driven by Glenwood Springs a dozen times over the years but never really stopped, so this month we stayed there. There are a couple of ways to […]
On the 4th of July, my husband and I drove down to Westcliffe, CO. We just really love Westcliffe. When I go there I don’t worry, I’m really just in the moment. It’s funny because we don’t do anything big, but being in Westcliffe brings us joy. The drive is […]
In my last post about my family trip to Breckenridge I talked about the places we went to. In this post I thought I’d talk about our activities. My daughter and I went horseback riding in White River National forest. It was fun and so beautiful. We normally try to go […]
I enjoy traveling so much and I like to share my adventures. We try to take at least one big trip a year and since we love the mountains we go to Breckenridge Colorado the majority of the time. Mainly because we own a timeshare up there. The first picture […]
I think I’ve made it pretty clear I love Westcliffe. In fact, we try to go once a month. The last time we went it was pretty closed up because of the COVID. But when it opened up we decided it was time to take our daughter, Sky, for a […]
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 […]
