I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying a most spectacular view during our week at Ridgway State Park. There’s a curiosity that stirs within me as I watch the mountain range to the east change with the light of the sun or better yet an impending storm. Before departing this little slice…

Well….I waited….and waited….and then waited some more. But received no invitations from my good friends; Ralph Lauren, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise. These well-known folks all own property in or near Telluride, Colorado. I remember watching Oprah’s special when she visited Ralph Lauren’s 17,000 acre ranch just outside the town of Ridgway. The…

Telluride, Colorado has been on my radar for quite sometime. Although I’ve called Colorado’s Front Range home for nearly eighteen years, between work and children there never seemed to be enough time to explore Colorado’s Western Slope until now.

It’s Sunday, our last day in Golden, Colorado, before heading west. I’m not sure when I’ll visit with my daughter again, so I want to do something fun today. Initially we were going to head back over to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre for some more hiking and exercising, but since Al and I…

Wednesday morning I wake up around 5:30 a.m. I’m feeling rested and jump out of bed. I start the coffee….gotta have my morning Joe, ya know. Al slowly wakes around 6:00 and notices I’m sitting in bed next to him drinking coffee in bed. This is day five after the move;…
