A miracle

August 4, 2016

I love you, my little one. You bring such joy to my life. How empty life would be without you and how full it is when we’re together. Surely, God has great plans for you. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let us savor every moment together and make each day a miracle.

Enough already

The Denver Post

August 3, 2016

Clint called today at 2:35 p.m.. There was excitement in his voice as he said that he was from The Denver Post and that they’d really like to have us become subscribers again. He said they had some really exciting packages that he thought I’d like. He was totally unprepared for what came next. In […]

Riley

August 2, 2016

Since losing our two little dogs (Lexie and Casey) nearly two years ago, Sally and her very young husband had missed canine companionship. We decided to become dog sitters and how lucky we’ve been with Riley (pictured here) and Dodger. Riley was picked up today after a twelve day stay. You come back anytime, Mr. […]

Risk

July 30, 2016

If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing ‘real’ was at risk, what would you do? You’d live a gigantic, bold, fun, dazzling life. You know you would. That’s what the ghosts want us to do – all the […]

Memories

The countdown has begun. It’s six months before the next Ta Ta trip to Cabo and already the gang is planning for another memorable trip. Here’s hoping their wardrobe consultant has better ideas for 2017.

Come together

July 30, 2016

Regardless of who wins in November’s election, someone will have to figure out how to bring an angry electorate and partisan politicians together. I don’t know about you….but is it remotely possible that either candidate can make it happen?

Enthusiasm

July 29, 2016

We used to meet at Al’s place at 4:30 a.m. to go hunting. His dogs knew where we were headed and were possessed by the same excitement felt by a kid attending his first major league opening day. We can learn a lot from dogs and kids whose enthusiasm knows no bounds.

Perspective

Be still

July 29, 2016

There is something about sunsets and beaches that seeps into the soul. Joined together, they are nature’s way of slowing us down so appreciation is foremost and acceleration fades away. We were never designed to live frantic lives anyway. Mountains are magnificent, but anyone who has spent time listening to gentle waves rolling ashore can […]

Here kitty

July 29, 2016

Cats are curious little critters. They are mischievous and each one walks to their own unique drumbeat. Their love for, and attachment to, young kids is a special thing to witness.

Silly

Tessa loves her sisters. They make her laugh with their funny faces and silly shenanigans. The feeling is mutual and each day is an adventure for sure.
