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 […]

Ended the Day on a High Note at The Loop

Another Internet Hacking Curveball Thrown at Me Today

I am not sure I can handle this one very well. One of my oldest and most used emails has been hijacked. I feel as if I had fallen into something as painful as it would be to fall or sit upon these cactus. After thinking I had resolved my problem last night, someone got […]

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.
