Successful Opening at Commonwheel Artists Gallery for Old Spokes

Tax day came and went without my even noticing it. My accountant has all my info and usually files for an extension. So won’t know what I owe for quite some time. I am very complicated with a variety of businesses, none of which make a lot of money yet. Not that I won’t someday […]

Old Spokes and Hikes Looking Back

Since my last post over 8 days ago I have been going non-stop to keep up with my world. And that did not include posting on my blogs. Glad I gave up the idea of having to write on them both daily. The Art Festival and the “Old Spokes” gallery show have needed a great […]

Measuring The Fields Park In Manitou Springs for the Commonwheel Art Festival

Happy First Day of Spring! It was beautiful outside and I was happy that I was able to get to be outside for a couple of hours today. I had thought I had a webinar this morning, but couldn’t find a payment or a notice for me to sign on to it, so did some […]

Cottage, Commonwheel and Cookies Filled My Time

The Three C’ made my day interesting. Got to the Post Office and no one else was in line. Collected the over-sized mail for the Festival. Learned about what it would cost to ship a mask to the UK. The Postmistress was in a chatty mood, so she even looked up what was not legal […]

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 […]
