I remember when I first found WordPress and wasn't sure if this would be a good platform to move my blog to. Initially, I was paying another hosting site for a website and... Continue Reading →
Last Friday, husband's planned hike to a 14-er didn't work out, so instead, he and I went to Castlewood Canyon to do a simple hike, something I could handle. It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →
In March, I submitted a story to an anthology and was accepted. I'm happy to announce that the anthology will be published on August 1.
