What would I do without Mom and Dad's garden of veggies, herbs, and two humongous peach trees soon to ripe with sweet juicy peaches? I don't know how to garden and I've tried to garden in indoor pots but nothing ever turns out right. Plus, I am also fearful of garden bugs. Last week, Mom... Continue Reading →
The family went on a one day and two nights trip to Mesa Verde National Park this week. We drove 7 hours to Durango, where we stayed, then drove another 45 min to Mesa Verde through amazing beauty for a full day of viewing and touring.
