Abilene, Kansas
Monday, June 30th, 2008Enroute to Colorado we lived in Abilene. At the time when we moved, we didn’t know how long we’d live there. Abilene is full of western history….the kind we like. Horses, cowboys, ranching, cattle, and Wild Bill Hickok. Wild Bill was the sheriff there briefly, back in the olden days when Abilene was still [...]

You’re probably wondering what is in this devious mind of mine???
Fish Creek Falls
Sunday, June 29th, 2008This is the most awe-inspiring place I have ever been. To achieve this, you have to hike 5 miles up steep, rocky paths, along side of cliffs which I thought I’d never do being afraid of heights, to reach the pinnacle of this trip. The falls at the bottom are pictured first, you only [...]

Yeah…say that title three times fast! LOL
What better way to spend a Friday evening after dinner, walking down landscaped paths, smelling sweet fragrances, feasting your eyes on gorgeous floral arrangements and swatting mosquitoes every two seconds? So what if our pace was a little quicker than we wanted in order to avoid getting [...]

Dalton surprised me yesterday when he came home for lunch. Usually with the price of gas, he doesn’t do this, but since he’s working at a job site for a few days that is closer, it was a welcome surprise. Normally, I’m hard at work on the computer working on a new website, [...]
The Fox Family
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
It comes a time in a writer’s life that words cannot describe what we see. These little guys or gals sure did like posing for me. It was really unusual they didn’t run into their fox hole to hide. As I tsk’d to them, they kept right on stretching, scratching, and looking so foxy…
Geeze…I [...]

It’s coming up on our one month anniversary for living in Steamboat Springs. At first, I was appalled that everything here seemed to be geared towards tourists, not newcomers. But that stands to reason, this small, isolated community thrives on the business tourists bring to the area. The city is also known as [...]

In the past several weeks I heard several stories about coyotes (cousin to the dog family) in and around the Denver area. The latest is the story about a coyote who jumped a fence in a community in Lakewood and killed the resident’s pet dogs. This is sad and my heart goes out [...]
