Hearing Test and a Magnificent View of Pikes Peak

Errands and Cottage Showings and Health Appointments, oh my! I went to pick up something I needed for tomorrow’s test and learned I had written down the wrong address.

Skunk Outside my Bedroom Equals Exhaustion

Sunday was both a Beautiful and a Challenging day. Did I mention that on Carnivale morning, as I was going out the door, I saw I had a text message from the cottage tenant. I checked it to discover that once again the cottage heater would not light properly. So I called my plumber friend […]
