Stormy Days, Book Publishing And So New Things to Learn

There have been many storms these last few days. But nothing that has caused any new flooding in Manitou Springs. Halleluiah! But my basement is very damp right now. The old ways water came in seems to have happened again. Didn’t have the heart to take a flashlight and see if the new area was […]

Stormy Week in Manitou Springs

This has been a week of rain storms and sirens going off warning of Flash Flooding. Monday the new siren just a block from me went off along with both my phones and the radio and the siren in my home all at once. Highway 24 was closed, people were turned away from town. That […]

Communication Glitches Have Plagued Me Recently

Really Long Hike Among the Cedars and Old Spokes

 Hiked a hidden Trail in the Garden of the Gods. I am grateful that my hiking friend is really adventurous. I hadn’t been on this trail since before the flooding, so it was looking a wee bit different than I remembered. My friend hadn’t brought her hiking pole, but I have a driftwood stick with […]

Another Health Test and a Great Webinar

On Thursday last week I had a Cat Scan. This was ordered by two Doctors, so felt was necessary to do. I really didn’t like the idea of drinking the “Berry” (Barium) Smoothie and having dye injected into my veins, but also don’t like to disobey two doctor’s orders. I am visioning that they were […]
