Fireworks in At the foot of the hill

Good for me! in At the foot of the hill
This morning was the 14th day in a row I got myself out of bed and went for a beautiful morning walk for about 15 minutes along the banks of our lake. I know. I know. It isn’t a marathon, but ...
Caught up! in At the foot of the hill
I’ve been here at least four hours, catching up on all my friends. We were gone for a week, and didn’t take a computer with us. Been busy catching up on dumb things like laundry and shopping th...
Nice start to the Holiday Weekend in At the foot of the hill
When I got up yesterday, I had one thing “to do” for the day. That was to meet the gal who helps me mail out the newsletter I write for your “Fab 50’s” senior club and give her the copy and mail...
18 out of 20 in At the foot of the hill
That’s how many days it has been raining here. Flooding has become a problem along the creeks and rivers, of course. I’m hoping for a rainbow soon. Otherwise, life goes on at our house. We may...
Sunshine!! in At the foot of the hill
Yea! It’s cool this morning, but we have blue sky…a little hazy, but much better than those thick, heavy snow clouds that have been hanging over our heads the last few days. Seems our weather i...
White Mother's Day in At the foot of the hill

Yesterday Papa and I joined some friends from our senior club for a trip down town to the “History Colorado” museum where the featured exhibit was “1968”. I was around then, of course, but my w...
April Showers in At the foot of the hill

March is over in At the foot of the hill
I am hoping with the change of seasons I'll be more inspired to be creative...writing, painting, cleaning, etc. We did have an unusually nice winter here on the Front Range. Only one week of r...
I may be away for awhile in At the foot of the hill
I think I’m going to be taking a break from the internet. Having some issues and think a “mental health” vacation might be in order.
Can it be spring soon? in At the foot of the hill
I’m so tired of winter…cold, snow and ice and worst of all gray skies. I know, I know. We have had these conditions for only about two weeks, and nothing like you folks to the east have had. A...
Projects in At the foot of the hill
The trouble with projects like the one I wrote about the other day is there is never any good stopping place. So far, I have emptied two big boxes, and taken scores of pictures out of frames. I...
Glad in At the foot of the hill
I made myself go to Bible study yesterday. We started a new line of study, and got new books. On the first page of the introduction, leader’s guide, it says that the leader’s function is not th...
Tears in At the foot of the hill
Yes, I’m wiping tears at the news that my grand dog has passed over the Rainbow Bridge. My daughter got that little bundle of white fur for her 40th birthday some 13 years ago… One time when Pa...

Hello from balmy Colorado! in At the foot of the hill
It seems that I have not written here in some time. I read my friends and sometimes comment, but have not been motivated to write real entries. Don’t know why. Just lazy I guess. That and I...
Counting down in At the foot of the hill
This is the week we go to California…We leave DIA at 8:00 a.m. Thursday and will spend a week with my sister, Missus and her family. The highlight will be her grandson’s wedding in Palm Springs ...
Can they do that? in At the foot of the hill
Got a notice that our lease has to be renewed by the end of the month. Also, they are increasing the rent by about 4%. They did that last year, too. Where do they think retired people can dig...
Indian Summer in At the foot of the hill
Don’t you just love the “blue October” days? The sky is such a brilliant color. The golden aspen trees contrast against the sky and among the pines. Such is Colorado this week. Rhonda and...
Looking forward in At the foot of the hill
