He and his bigger sister, Sunny, arrived Thursday morning. Sammy never made eye contact and immediately hustled upstairs where the dark bathroom would be his sanctuary for the next seventy-two hours. Breakfast and dinner still need to be delivered to him as he will not respond and come downstairs to eat. His owners said that […]

An old gentleman I met on the river had some wise words for the cowboy. The sage said…’you know that challenges are inevitable and will stream into your life most days…maybe the river was given to you as a gift. For as surely as the water flows under the bridge, just as surely shall your […]

No worries. Sometimes a picture tells a story. Oh…to be as carefree as a child on a swing. Maybe us over forties should take a weekly trip to the park and watch the kids as they swing…and then try to carry a bit of that Hakuna Matata feeling with us as we go through the […]

It was not uncommon for Ray to work sixty hour weeks. Grace nearly had to beg him to take a few days off a year to spend at the family’s cabin near Lake Granby. The workload and constant stress were taking their toll …his fuse had become very short. In 2014, things changed. Their grandson […]

John Elway was the orchestrator of some of the most memorable comebacks in football history. ‘The Drive’ to beat The Cleveland Browns will still be remembered fifty years from now by loyal, Broncos fans.

His name is Carson and he is a winner. Why, just the other day, he told his mother…’Mom, I think I’m going to do something really special in this life. You just watch, it might astound you!’ To you, Carson…it seems like this song was written to you and for you. Go Rock the World…we […]

A cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something. A very young cowboy is guessing that in the last twelve months most people have never uttered the word eureka.
