MoreSoooooo Denver, you finally got your revenge from my previous blog post, via the USPS….. Backstory: I had sent a package, on April 25th, to my mom before I moved out of my condo. It was full of odds and ends things for her to enjoy, like the silverware I received when I got married, salt and […]
MoreIt was so great to see all of you in Denver. I am reminded of why the rest of the country thinks we are all one of two types: 1.) Pot-Smoking Dirty Hippies, or 2.) Horse Riding Cowboys We seem to live up to our reputation in full force. Not only do we love our […]

People like to be outside in the sunshine when it hits 90-degrees here in early March. However, they just don’t seem to like to wear shoes. Now, one would think the […]
MoreI have two very sad things to report this week, my friends. The first being that the people next door have been evicted. And while on the one hand, it has been truly wonderful to have some peace and quiet in the evenings – the sad part is, what in the world will I have […]
MoreHey y’all! Hope that February is treating you well. I am anxiously awaiting the acceptance of a counteroffer on my condo this week – so keep fingers and toes crossed for me that it goes through! It has been a busy week thus far back here in the ‘hood. Monday I was diligently in front […]

MoreHi there! Sorry for the delay in sending you all your next update – I got scolded this weekend by a few of you for not sending them out sooner. I have no idea how many days go by sometimes! As a result – I have three short stories for you – written out in […]
