Today is one of my favorite days of the year. I love this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope your thankful list is long and makes you smile. I know that mine grows by the minute. What are you doing today? This morning, we are off to a two-mile Turkey Trot. Our […]
October was a beautiful month in Colorado. For the first time in a number of years, there wasn’t any snow to dampen our leafy spirits, nor did we contend with any major wind. The result was a luscious landscape of autumn, and we got to enjoy it for weeks. When Anne of Green Gables said […]
