Cottage, Commonwheel and Cookies Filled My Time

Taxes and Dancing and Hiking on My Current Tenants Moving Day

Focused on work to clear the way for writing. On Friday, and early Saturday, I also got most of the images my nephew and brother needed done in a way they liked them for Ellis Brush Mowers. I sent off 300 dpi ones to my brother to create a brochure, and put some on the […]

A Denver Adventure Selling Trust Items and Walking the Botanical Gardens

Denver has many businesses and cultural experiences that Colorado Springs is missing. I couldn’t find a really good place in Colorado Springs to sell some the items from my parent’s trust. So did a bunch of research on the internet and found a couple of Coin and Jewelry dealers in Denver that had high ratings. […]
