Reflections in the San Juan's
I live with my husband and our dogs at 9,000 feet in a tiny mountain village, in the Colorado Rockies. Life here isn’t easy but those of us who live here do so because we really like it.
Before COVID , (we are always going to be saying that) a gathering of us girlfriends was a regular occurrence.
Thursday Matt, our regular UPS driver brings packages to the house. I hold open the garden gate and thank him for putting the boxes on the little sunroom table – saving my back.
“What great timing! I needed boxes for packing some Halloween gifts to my grandchildren.”… Read the rest
The Secret
To a Long & Happy Marriage
My husband and I created a simple, romantic anniversary celebration at home. Thoughtfulness is everything.
He gave me red roses. We exchange cards with love notes. We took our border collie on a hike.
Love is universal.
My husband and I just became new grandparents! It is deeply sacred, knowing that now, we are always connected with this child. I shared this happy news with numerous of supportive girlfriends.
There are other people, who would call me their friend, yet who would disapprovingly judge my daughter and perhaps me as well.
LIVING in a little mountain village
Susie, “It sounds very romantic writing up in the mountains.”
Me smiling, “It is. Especially in the cold months with all the noisy visitors gone and a warm fire softly crackling as I drink hot coffee and write for long stretches uninterrupted.
We took a much needed play day yesterday
We live in an extraordinary beautiful party of the world and too often we stay at home to work at the endless chores and responsibilities
About a 40 minute drive from home we had a picnic lunch
Carefully, happily, we wadded across the freezing cold, slippery, rocky, riverbed
Stunning blue-sky day
No crowds!!!
Between the vaccine and perfect weather a change is the safe gathering of friends
It’s interesting being so closely connected to nature. As the season changes from winter to spring and from summer to autumn, we sometimes get graupel up here in the mountains.
On March 30, 2021 I received my 2nd COVID 19 vaccination at our medical center in Lake City, Colorado.
Symptoms after being vaccinated show our bodies are working to be able to fight the disease. After my first COVID 19 vaccination my arm was just a bit sore.
On March 2nd I received my first vaccine against COVID-19. I received the MODERNA vaccine which, 2 weeks after the 2nd shot is over 94% effective. My 2nd vaccination is scheduled for March 30th. As an essential worker my husband has had both of his vaccines, also MODERNA.
What a great day!
A lot of good has come from needing to stay at home. Zoom meetings and webinars are here to stay. It’s so very much easier and quicker to attend an 8:30 AM board meeting from home! Our home is 4 minutes outside the city limits in a beautiful secluded valley.
