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. Mesa Verde was extremely beautiful and took my breath... Continue Reading →
The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival was this past weekend. The family went to see my sibling's band, One Sun One Moon (OSOM), play and had wanted to stay longer to see the main stage performances but it was too hot for the girls. I also had serious dehydration for a couple of weeks (with heart... Continue Reading →

Once in awhile my heart will earn yearn to create a fantasy concept just for the... Continue Reading →
Last evening, husband and I were out on the deck grilling up dinner, and saw this view of the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs. It's far south from our area, but since the elevation is slightly higher here, we get a pretty good view of the mountain range southwest and west of us. I... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I've bought any makeup from a department store. I mainly buy from Sephora.com these days. If you know me, you know that I have a thing for lipsticks. I prefer the matte long lasting ones and sheers over the pasty or glittery ones. If I could only take one... Continue Reading →
