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 →

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.

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 →
Earlier in the week the family went to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver with one of my sisters, her boyfriend, and one of my brothers and his kids. I've been wanting to go for awhile but just never seemed to have the time. I'm glad that my sister was determined to get me to go... Continue Reading →
